A home crafted to capture light, openness, and seamless connection at every turn–that seems to be the scheme of 205 Clinton St in Cobble Hill, listed for a jaw-dropping $18.5 million. That’s a price far higher than Amy Schumer and Lily Allen‘s Brooklyn townhouses which are both also up for sale.
Originally built in the 1850s, this residence recently underwent a meticulous two-year transformation (nearly a total reconstruction) at the hands of its owners, real estate pros Brandon Hornbeck and Yvonne Lee of Vega Management. They tapped award-winning architect Mike Ingui to reimagine the historic home with contemporary flair. A representative for the listing agents shared, “Although the sellers never planned to live there themselves, as a family living in the neighborhood, they believed designing the home as if it were their own was the best way to know what buyers would want.”
This thoughtful approach is evident throughout the sophisticated, seven-bedroom home. Its luminous atmosphere begins at the parlor-level where a gas marble fireplace anchors the opening living area. As you step through the door, you can also look across a surprising triple-height center atrium to the kitchen with rich walnut millwork and an oversized marble island poised for gatherings or everyday elegance.
Journeying up the curving staircase, the primary suite is another showstopper that punctuates the home’s high price point. A private terrace extends off of this suite and there’s also a Calacatta marble-clad ensuite featuring heated floors, a double vanity, and a glamorous soaking tub. For further wellness, the roof deck with gorgeous 360-degree views of the city skyline and river could be perfect for a hot tub.
Lindsay Barton Barrett, Taylor Schultz, and Christopher Mohr of Douglas Elliman share the listing.
