96 Schermerhorn St. #11E

Perfectly situated at the crossroads of Downtown Brooklyn, Boerum Hill and Brooklyn Heights and close to nearly every NYC train line, this spacious, loft-style one-bedroom home in a pre-war doorman building has been elegantly transformed by an upscale renovation, resulting in a sleek and sophisticated Zen oasis.

Dramatic 12-foot ceilings and enormous windows create a sun-flooded sanctuary in the morning and a twinkling city vista at night, replete with a moon that seems close enough to touch from this 11th floor home. All windows feature room-darkening Hunter Douglas shades, and extra-sound sleep is yours with a Cityproof sound-insulating bedroom window.

The warm and neutral color palette creates an aesthetic of calm, understated opulence that envelops you from the moment you walk through the door, starting with walnut-tone hardwood floors throughout. The kitchen features Waterworks honed, keystone flooring, Silestone countertops and sparkling sterling silver penny tiles, while the redesigned, spa-vibes bathroom seduces the senses with natural sandstone flooring and tiles in the walk-in shower, offset by Waterworks smoky oval glass mosaics.

Additional renovation details include pocket bathroom and linen closet doors, custom-made wardrobe closet doors, abundant storage with custom-designed and reconfigurable shelving, and stainless-steel appliances (including dishwasher + microwave).

A fully finished roof deck with spectacular views, bike storage and storage cages (waiting list) to rent and a 24/7 laundry room round out the amenities, plus the building was entirely repointed in 2018. A beautiful YMCA with a full-size pool is practically in the backyard of the building, not to mention Trader Joe’s and Sahadi’s within two blocks and the Smith Street restaurant row nearby. Don’t forget to bring your pooch, pussycat or parrot, too, as the building is pet friendly.
