Known for its hip, kid-friendly neighborhoods and slower pace, Brooklyn frequently woos Manhattanites to its side of the river. Indeed, the real estate market is strong there with demand and prices staying high. For example, a new townhouse in Boerum Hill has listed for $9.995 million, showing just how luxe living south of the Brooklyn Bridge can be.
Beautifully designed by Manhattan-based architecture firm Workshop/APD, the 5,671-square-foot home carries minimalist, contemporary elegance throughout. In particular, the floor plan seems crafted for suave entertaining. Under 11-foot-tall ceilings, chevron floors and archways create an easy flow across sun-drenched, clean spaces.
A private terrace off the living room completes the entertainer’s dream parlor level. Accordion-style doors allow you to usher in warmer temps, which Punxsutawney Phil predicted on Groundhog’s Day are not too far away. The kitchen is primed for dinner party prep, complete with the finest finishes such as custom white oak cabinetry, natural stone countertops, and an integrated wine fridge.
Two other floors hold all four of the regular bedroom suites, which happily leaves the primary suite tucked on its own level. Dubbed the ‘Primary Retreat’ on the listing, it encompasses a private home office, expansive walk-in closet, and stunning spa-like to create a retreat-like sanctuary within the already-posh pad.
Topping off the home, the private roof deck provides an ideal vantage point to take in the city. As part of the Post House development, the townhouse also gives access to exceptional amenities beyond its front door. A gym and sauna, children’s playroom, pet spa, and services like snow removal all come with this ritzy purchase.
