House, 11 CRANBERRY Street #, Brooklyn Heights-Cobble Hill - Real Estate Brooklyn

Description

Set on a picturesque tree-lined block steps from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, 11 Cranberry Street is a stunning, mint-condition 25.5'-wide mansion, meticulously redesigned by renowned architecture firm HS2. Commemorated by a historic plaque, the "Mott Bedell House" was originally built in 1840 for Mott Bedell, a ship's chandler with offices on Wall Street. Reimagined through a five-year, full gut renovation, this astounding townhouse has been completely rebuilt and restored, extending the building and creating a usable cellar with a large sauna and separate steam shower. The scope of the renovation included new structural work, radiant heated flooring on all floors, and full Control4 smart home automation, making it one of New York City's finest and most luxurious historic homes.

The original door at the top of the grand stoop entry opens to a parlor floor featuring approximately 14' ceilings, original moldings, a fireplace mantel, and restored historic plaster moldings. No detail was spared in outfitting this home with every desirable modern amenity, while retaining elements of its historic past. The triple parlor is anchored by a centrally located chef's kitchen featuring custom millwork and cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, and an oversized island with seating. To the rear is a spacious wood-paneled dining area highlighted by a two-story rear bronze window wall overlooking the gardens of Hicks Street and a majestic 200-year-old tree. A formal living space sits in front, overlooking Cranberry Street through two floor-to-ceiling windows. A powder room and coat closet are also located on this level.

Above, the entire third level is configured as the primary suite. This level features 12'-ceilings, an office, two-walk in closets, and a luxurious windowed bathroom with two separate vanities and a wet room with soaking tub. The floor above is configured with three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The rear bedroom features a private terrace and en-suite bathroom, while the two front bedrooms share the second hallway bathroom. Laundry is also located on this level.

The top floor of this magnificent townhouse is laid out as a living room but could function as an additional bedroom as it features a full bathroom and closet. Two massive terraces flank the penthouse, offering breathtaking city views, including the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline. Downstairs, the garden floor has natural light reminiscent of most parlor floors. A guest suite is located to the front, while a large living space is located to the rear. A wet bar, which includes a dishwasher, fridge, and wine cooler, is located adjacent to the living space. This level also allows access to the multi-tiered rear garden.

Downstairs, the fully finished and excavated cellar completes this townhouse, currently configured as a luxurious spa - a full gym with a large sauna and separate steam shower.

11 Cranberry Street features 5 outdoor spaces and offers the quintessential Brooklyn Heights mansion experience. Steps from cafes, shops, and restaurants, and only minutes from Manhattan, this luxe home stands apart as one of New York City's finest.
