????FEATURED IN BROWNSTONER, REMODELISTA AND NBC OPEN HOUSE NYC

Brooklyn Heights beauty and history surrounds you on your way home. Fully wired and connected, the smart home unlocks the front door, raises the shades, turns on lights and plays music to set a perfect mood. Coats, shoes and bags left in the mudroom. Hands washed in the powder room. Laptop placed in the office.

Stepping into the vast (34 feet long) open living space is thrilling. The southern light shines through and fills the rooms with a warm glow. So quiet and peaceful, in the back of the building, away from the streets.

Hard to believe that such a perfect layout can be achieved by combining two warehouse-like units. As if constructed originally, this ideal floor plan is cohesive, serene and seamless, with a separate primary suite on one side of the living space and an additional two bedrooms on the other side. The separated entrance wing keeps work, chores and outside daily activities away from areas dedicated to human interaction and nourishment: mud room, office, powder room, exercise/laundry room with full-size washer & dryer.

The overall aesthetic blends elements of steel and glass with eco-friendly materials elegantly harnessing natural light and clean lines into an emotionally intelligent airy home. The designers used rich textures like Tadelakt and terrazzo, custom millwork and concealed storage, with dashes of ochre and yellow amid black and neutral finishings. Wide plank European Oak flooring from Madera ties all the spaces together beautifully.

Centered in the apartment is a custom kitchen from HenryBuilt. Elegant and functional. Clean and tidy. At right is a wall of cabinets in soft black surrounded by a hand finished plaster wall that also shrouds the hood. Top of the line appliances include a built-in Subzero fridge, induction cooktop, Bosch DW, Dual Convection Oven and MW/Speed Oven and full-height pantry. Clever hidden storage renders additional appliances nearly invisible. The recessed lighting and round porcelain Apparatus sconces glow at night. The countertops are a sustainable material called Richlite, made from compressed paper. The oversized custom-made dining table with wood base and Super White Marble top, lit by a minimalist wood and marble counterweight pendant light from Roll & Hill, is included in the sale and is ready to host your next dinner party..

Armada designed much of the millwork in the apartment and the bright and warmly lit primary king-size bedroom suite includes a large pass-through closet with a dedicated vanity area. The luxurious bathroom features a soaking tub and separate oversized walkthrough shower finished in natural Tadelakt and framed in steel and glass. The double vanity top is made from the same marble as the dining table and is flanked by slim surface mount sconces from Juniper.

The second and third bedrooms are defined by sliding glass and steel doors reminiscent of Shoji screens. Playful triangular details, found throughout the home, can be seen on the sliding doors. There is a drape that can be drawn at the opening for privacy and to block out light. The corner second bedroom features a full wall of custom built Armada cabinetry. Opposite, Rebecca Atwood wallpaper adds a touch of color and whimsy. Adjoining there is a playroom with a Rebecca Atwood daybed with integrated storage below. An en-suite terrazzo bathroom with deep soaking tub and ample cabinet space.. The third bedroom is currently used as a family room/TV lounge with a concealed surround sound system and more clever storage solutions.

The apartment comes with two storage cages in the basement.

The building allows installing AC Mini-Split Systems. Bike and stroller storage (free of charge), package room and  laundry room on the lobby level. The elevator building has an access ramp (for strollers and wheelchairs), a live-in Super, porters and part-time doorman. 24/7 video security. CCTV in the building. The well-maintained, well-run and
