Architecture Wednesday: Brooklyn Carriage House

This home, a one of a kind converted carriage house in Brooklyn, offers bright, loft like proportions with soaring ceilings, skylights and walls of glass that seamlessly integrate indoor/outdoor living. With three en-suite bedrooms—plus an extra half bath—a massive living area, huge eat in kitchen and the kicker, you’re own private parking garage it’s a winner with a rent of just $9,900 a month!

Now, I grant you that it’s not the most beautiful exterior, unless you’re a lover of graffiti but let’s step inside and see if your mind changes .. after parking and entering through the private garage you are greeted with an entire floor dedicated to living and dining with dramatic 12-foot ceilings, painted exposed brick, mosaic tiles, and a wall of southeast facing glass that offers incredible light throughout the day and there’s even an incredibly distinctive Red Spiral staircase.

The kitchen was designed as the centerpiece of the home for cooking and entertaining, and features over 30 feet of counter space, a 6-burner range with double ovens, four under-counter refrigerated drawers and two under-counter freezer drawers and, why not, two dishwashers.

At the back of the house is the living area with a wall of glass that lets in incredible light from the private courtyard with 12foot surrounding walls that mimic the walls of the living space and create a seamless visual connection between indoors and outdoors; and while it is currently bare in the winter, it transforms into a green oasis during the warmer spring and summer months.

If you head up the Red Spiral stairs you find three en-suite bedrooms as well as a plethora of skylights and windows for more incredible light. The primary suite is at the back of the house and features the same wall of glass as below. The bedroom is huge and fits a king-size bed and plenty of room to spare for the large soaking tub right in the bedroom! The en-suite bathroom is huge with a window and includes a walk-in shower with rain head, a double sink and a toilet and bidet.

The second bedroom suite is at the front of the house and is also a huge king-size room with a massive skylight overhead. This bedroom features a wall unit with built in desk and the en-suite bath has three large windows with a tub with shower, toilet and sink.

The third bedroom is a queen-size room with another massive skylight; the sink and vanity mirror are in the corner of bedroom and the en-suite bath has a large walk-in shower with rain head and a toilet.

Take the Red Spiral stairs down and you find a finished basement, perfect for an art or music studio, kids’ playroom or media-screening room. There is also a half bath and laundry with washer and dryer.

The distinctive mosaic tile throughout the house is radiant heated and feels incredibly warm under foot during the winter months and cool in the summer months thanks to the zoned AC throughout. The house is conveniently located in the heart of Bushwick and is surrounded by amazing bars, restaurants, coffee shops and incredibly close to transportation.
