Brooklyn Five-Story Brownstone with 30-Foot, Triple-Tall Atrium

By Kimberly Ridley

Beautiful Cobble Hill is Brooklyn’s newest up-and-coming neighborhood. Known for tree-lined streets, hip cafes, and trendy boutiques, the 40-block region retains a village feel. Just minutes from Manhattan, it blends historic character with a relaxed, upscale vibe. A new listing of a five-story brownstone with a 30-foot, triple-tall atrium offers a chance to own one of the most impressive homes in the city. If it gets its asking price, it will be the most expensive home ever sold in Cobble Hill and the third most expensive in Brooklyn. 

The historic 1850s brownstone has been meticulously renovated by award-winning architect Mike Ingui. The contemporary design maximizes light and space, with numerous separate living areas connected by an elevator. The best in modern finishes and smart home features meld with historic details, such as hand-restored stained glass and archways built from repurposed original brick. Fourteen-foot ceilings soar above hand-sanded, wide-plank oak flooring. Ultra-high-end triple-pane windows, custom millwork, Waterworks fixtures, swaths of marble, and a stunning hand-carved staircase add layers of texture and refinement to every room.

Enter through the dramatic parlor foyer, where views stretch over this massive space and into the rear yard. Marvel at the 30-foot, triple-tall center atrium, and entertain in the massive living room anchored by a marble gas fireplace or the rare New York backyard with a bluestone patio and built-in grill. Enjoy the spacious kitchen with double-height ceiling, walnut millwork, and professional-grade appliances, including a stainless steel AGA Elise induction range, two Miele dishwashers, and a Sub-Zero refrigerator-freezer. Lounge in the exquisite primary suite, featuring an east-facing terrace overlooking the yard below, a windowed walk-in closet, and a massive bathroom with a soaking tub, a benched shower, heated floors, and a Calcutta marble double vanity.  Take in 360-degree views of iconic skylines, the East River, and dazzling sunsets from the epic roof deck. 

The seven-bed, seven-and-a-half bath townhouse is 25 feet wide and five stories tall, topped by a delightful clubhouse with a kitchenette, a 15-foot skylight, and huge sliding doors that open onto a terrace. Two wet bars, a 500-bottle wine cellar with a dedicated cooling system, and a fitness center with an attached steam shower are just a few of the home’s awesome amenities. The sale includes ring cameras, Lutron lighting, an integrated top-of-the-line Polk audio system with six zones, and full-service concierge parking. 

In recent years, Cobble Hill has been attracting celebrities, with British stars Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz calling the charming enclave home. Nearby options for entertainment include the New York Transit Museum, Cobble Hill Park, and the shops and restaurants on Court Street: Cobble Hill’s main drag. Plus, the home is only two blocks from a subway station, offering easy access to Brooklyn and beyond. 

The home is listed for $22 million with Lindsay Barton Barrett, Taylor Schultz, and Christopher Mohr at Douglas Elliman.
