From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Welcome to Residence 10H at 96 Schermerhorn Street, a true loft residence in a distinctive prewar building set at the crossroads of Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill. With soaring 12'2" ceilings, oversized windows, beautiful exposed beams, and generous proportions, the home delivers the scale and architectural character of authentic loft living with the comfort and functionality of a true one-bedroom. The expansive living and dining area immediately impresses with its volume and flexibility. Oversized windows bring in beautiful natural light, while custom window treatments and exposed beams complement the home's loft character. The generous proportions allow for multiple furniture configurations, with plenty of room to create distinct areas for living, dining, entertaining and working from home. The renovated kitchen is thoughtfully designed for everyday living, with stainless steel appliances including a five-burner gas range, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher and over-the-range microwave. A dedicated pantry - a rare find in New York City - provides substantial additional storage and makes the space as functional as it is inviting. The oversized bedroom comfortably accommodates a king-size bed with plenty of room for a home office, seating area or additional furniture. Storage is exceptional throughout the home, with abundant closets extending all the way to the ceiling and making full use of the apartment's impressive height. The renovated bathroom is finished with marble tile and features a custom vanity, mirrored medicine cabinet and additional storage. Originally home to a law school, 96 Schermerhorn Street is a beautiful prewar building rich in history and character. This pet-friendly building offers a full-time doorman and staff, 24-hour package reception, bike room, available storage, and a commercially sized laundry room that makes everyday life that much easier. The common rooftop offers an escape above the city with views extending to the Statue of Liberty. Beyond the front door, you are at the intersection of some of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods, with Smith Street, Court Street and Atlantic Avenue just moments away. Neighborhood favorites including Bar Tabac, Cafe Luluc, Court Street Grocers and Noodle Pudding are all within easy reach, along with Sahadi's, Trader Joe's and an incredible collection of cafes, local shops and specialty destinations. Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Brooklyn Heights Promenade are nearby, while access to the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C and F subway lines makes commuting into Manhattan or traveling throughout Brooklyn remarkably convenient. Residence 10H brings together everything that makes true loft living so desirable - soaring ceilings, oversized windows, exposed beams, exceptional scale and remarkable storage - with the functionality and full-service amenities that make this an easy place to call home.
