211 Schermerhorn Street, #5B, Brooklyn (Downtown), NY, 11201 | $1,650,000

Welcome to #5B at 211 Schermerhorn - a well-designed two-bedroom, two-bath condo in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn offering 1, 154 square feet of thoughtfully finished living space, a private balcony, and the kind of kitchen that actually makes cooking at home appealing.

You enter through a spacious foyer complete with a full-height oak closet that keeps coats and everyday clutter out of sight from the moment you walk in. Wide-plank white oak floors run throughout, and the entryway opens naturally into the main living area.

The living room is anchored by floor-to-ceiling steel-framed windows on two sides, letting in steady natural light and framing views of the Downtown Brooklyn skyline. A glass slider leads directly to the private balcony, a genuine extension of the living area and a comfortable outdoor space to enjoy coffee or relax at the end of the day.

The kitchen is open to the dining and living spaces but thoughtfully separated by a substantial Carrara marble waterfall island with bar seating. Cabinetry is flat-front white oak floor to ceiling, countertops and backsplash are marble, and the high-end appliances are Bertazzoni, Liebherr, and Bosch. Storage is generous throughout. The dining area sits just off the kitchen, large enough for a table for eight.

The primary bedroom is quiet and well-proportioned, with its own steel-framed window overlooking neighboring rooftops. The en-suite bath features a double vanity with a floating oak cabinet, marble countertop, marble tile walls and mosaic floor, and a glass-enclosed shower. The second bedroom is equally light-filled, with a large picture window and enough room for a queen bed and full furniture. The second bath is finished with white subway tile, a marble mosaic penny-tile floor, an oak vanity with marble counter, and a deep soaking tub. A Bosch washer and dryer in its own closet rounds out the apartment.

Designed by architect Morris Adjmi, 211 Schermerhorn is a 48-unit full-service condominium distinguished by its oversized industrial-inspired casement windows and Danish brick facade - a building that pays genuine respect to the neighborhood's historic roots while delivering a modern, well-amenitized place to live. Situated at the crossroads of Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, and Cobble Hill, residents have easy access to four of Brooklyn's most storied neighborhoods, along with virtually every subway line at their doorstep. Building amenities include a fully-equipped fitness center with cardio and weight training, a separate yoga room, a roof deck complete with furniture, outdoor kitchen and a BBQ and a residents' lounge with a pool table, media room, and playroom.
