Completed in 2018 by architect-developer Barrett Design, 96 & 98 Degraw Street are two beautiful contemporary townhouses located in the heart of the Columbia Waterfront District. These magnificent sun-filled homes feature off street parking, four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and dramatic roof decks where you’ll savor panoramic sunset views over the NY Harbor, Governor’s Island, and Lower Manhattan.
With radiant floor heat, quiet central air conditioning, and state of the art controls, you will always be comfortable. These homes are meticulously constructed according to Passive House standards and are equipped with technology that ensures energy efficiency twelve months a year.
You’ll enter your new home from the convenience and privacy of your own garage – a rare luxury in Brooklyn! Moving through a small gallery, past a half-bath, and up a few steps, you’ll find yourself in a sprawling light-filled chef’s kitchen equipped with Miele appliances, a gas cooktop, marble countertops, and custom oak cabinetry. Large glass doors open up to a sunny south-facing deck and private backyard, which is a tranquil oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city and an elegant place to entertain.
A wonderfully grand eight-foot wide stair leads from the kitchen up to the living room, framing a lofty view of the sky through the massive windows beyond. The living room is airy, expansive, and a great place to gather, entertain, and relax, with polished concrete floors, an Ortal gas fireplace with an elevated stone hearth, and oversized triple-pane floor-to-ceiling windows by Zola. These custom, premium European windows maximize sun exposure while meeting the highest standards for thermal and acoustic insulation. Southern and northern exposures ensure abundant light and views.
Continuing upstairs via the sculptural, oak staircase, you’ll find four sunny bedrooms, an office or play space, and three full baths. Polished concrete floors and extensive insulation ensure that the bedrooms are quiet and tranquil regardless of conditions. On the top floor the master bedroom suite includes a double-vanity bath, a walk-in closet, and floor-to-ceiling windows with truly spectacular Manhattan skyline views.
The Columbia Waterfront District location affords breathtaking views, waterfront access, convenient transportation, excellent local shopping and celebrated schools. Across the street The Brooklyn Greenway brings you to the Brooklyn Bridge Park just a few blocks away. The great restaurants, one-of-a-kind shops, and other amenities of the Columbia Waterfront District, Cobble Hill, and Carrol Gardens are also close by.
