Welcome to The Bowen Brooklyn, a sophisticated collection of 71 studio-to-three-bedroom condominium residences perfectly situated at the intersection of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene, and Downtown Brooklyn. Now offering private tours of our on-site model residences.

Meticulously designed by acclaimed interior design firm Cl-oth Interiors, Residence 9B is a 1,035 SF, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home boasting breathtaking southwest exposures.

Elegance takes center stage in the kitchen, featuring Taj Mahal natural stone countertops, underlit walnut millwork cabinetry and a statement curved island with tambour walnut millwork. An integrated JennAir appliance suite, including an induction cooktop and concealed hood, ensures both performance and visual harmony. Two full-height pantries, including one with a concealed microwave, and custom decorative lighting by CL-OTH completes the culinary space.

The primary and secondary bedrooms provide generous, light-filled retreats with double-paned windows. The primary suite features a generous walk-in-closet and a serene, spa-inspired en-suite bathroom appointed with hand-laid Japanese Umi Kyokai tile, natural marble accents, Brizo fixtures, and a double vanity crafted in walnut with marble countertops.

The secondary bedroom features an equally refined en-suite bathroom, pairing a natural stone countertop with fluted walnut accents on a custom vanity. Hand-laid ceramic tile floors and walls, Brizo fittings, and a soaking tub complete the space. Completing the residence, a Whirlpool washer and dryer closet and a beautifully appointed powder room with a custom walnut tambour vanity, natural marble countertop, a statement marble wall, and Brizo fittings add both elegance and everyday convenience to the home.
