Why it’s so popular
Perched on the penthouse level of a classic brownstone, 282 Henry Street #9 is a pretty Brooklyn Heights 1-bedroom with preserved prewar details.
The magic begins as soon as you walk through the front door. Currently painted a moody, deep blue, the apartment’s foyer makes an ideal gallery for your family photos and art collection. The addition of a hidden storage closet adds functionality to a fun and funky space.
From there, follow the gleaming hardwood floors into the home’s main living space. A triple-wide exposure floods light all the way up to the tippy top of the 10-foot ceilings and bounces off of the entire wall of whitewashed exposed brick. There’s room enough for a sectional couch, media cabinet and bookshelf, plus a 2-4 person dining set-up.

A well-equipped and windowed galley kitchen sits off this main room. We love the retro-style checkered floors paired with the polished Caesarstone countertops. Not to mention the frosted glass cabinetry and convenient dishwasher.
The unit’s one bedroom is generous enough to fit a king-size bed and multiple furnishings comfortably. Store your clothes and shoes in an extra-large closet, and bask in the rays shining through the southeast-facing window.
An immaculate bathroom rounds out this impressive floorplan. This luxurious retreat is awash in shimmering white tiling and refined chrome fixtures. A floating vanity offers dual drawers and the Kohler soaking tub provides a peaceful retreat.
But the amenities don’t stop there. Keys to 282 Henry Street #9 come with access to a shared rooftop deck. This sweeping space comes with safety guard rails and multiple tables for al fresco dining. And how about that view of the Statue of Liberty?! We think a few sunset cocktails in this outstanding outdoor area would be the perfect antidote to a long day.
