About This Property

Welcome to 96 Franklin Street - a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this totally renovated single family masterpiece like nothing else on the market, with five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a private garage, a private elevator, solar panels, a cedar soaking hot tub, an outdoor kitchen, and sweeping Manhattan and East River views. This rare home sits on Franklin and Oak Street in prime Greenpoint, just two blocks from the East River and the newly developed waterfront park. The location alone is extraordinary.

This expansive home spans 4,346 square feet of meticulously renovated interior space. But what makes this house truly rare is everything that lives inside and on top of it. 900 square feet of rooftop with unobstructed views of the East River and Manhattan. Multiple outdoor spaces - a private garden, a planted terrace, a sky deck that feels like your own world above the city.

This home was completely renovated by the current owners to the highest level of finishes and construction imaginable. From soup to nuts, every detail was approached with meticulous care and intention. This is a home built to last, built to be lived in at the absolute highest level.

Walk through the blackened brick facade and enter a world of light and space. The entry is a sculptural threshold - original red brick underfoot, custom steel and glass framing the transition from street to sanctuary. Inside, a dramatic skylight cuts through the center of the home from rooftop to ground, flooding all four floors with natural light. A curved staircase with white oak handrail and blackened steel balustrade rises beside it. A private elevator connects every level.

The first floor opens into a sweeping open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Custom white oak cabinetry, a sage-green island topped in book-matched white marble, professional-grade appliances including a six burner Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Floor-to-ceiling glass at the rear opens to a private garden oasis where flagstone meets mature trees, where you can enjoy quiet and peace, entirely your own.

The second floor holds a generous living room that opens onto its own private terrace. Two additional bedrooms on this floor are bright and filled with light, each with generous shelving and large closets.

The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite and two additional bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a spa-like ensuite with a sculptural hammered copper vessel sink, warm-toned zellige tile in the walk-in shower, organic forms throughout, and a freestanding soaking tub. A generous walk-in closet completes this private retreat. Two additional bedrooms face west, both bright and filled with natural light, each with generous built-in shelving and abundant closet space.

The lower level provides a sprawling recreation room with soaring ceilings and open space - ideal as a media room, gym, playroom, or home office. Full-size washer and dryer are located here. This level connects seamlessly to the rest of the home.

And then there is the roof. 900 square feet of private outdoor space with unobstructed views of the East River and Manhattan. A cedar soaking hot tub anchors the open-air lounge. A custom blackened steel pergola shelters an outdoor kitchen with professional grill and dining area, topped with integrated solar panels that generate clean energy for the home year-round.

96 Franklin Street sits on one of the most coveted blocks in Greenpoint's historic district - a neighborhood that has fully come into its own. The newly developed East River waterfront and park are just two blocks away. McCarren Park, with its expansive green space and vibrant community atmosphere, is an easy walk. You are positioned at the intersection of Greenpoint and North Williamsburg, with multiple parks and playgrounds woven throughout the neighborhood. The G train is moments from your door. The L train in Williamsburg is within walking distance. The restaurants, cafes, and boutiques of
