687 Leonard St APT 4B, Brooklyn, NY 11222

This beautifully designed duplex penthouse a truly unique space. Featuring a 600sf, pergola covered private roof deck, one enjoys sweeping 360 degree city views including the entire Manhattan skyline. It represents the ultimate in indoor/outdoor living and is perfect for morning coffee, outdoor yoga and incredible dinner parties. Reimagined by architect Carlo Formisano into the ideal loft, the apartment has been celebrated in Oprah Magazine for its design. The first floor includes an open, stainless kitchen, full bath with w/d, a lounge-like living room with recessed TV and custom built cabinets and dining space with 16 ft ceilings and access to a second terrace. Separating the dining and living rooms is a striking, yet functional staircase that provides balance to the space without sacrificing the sweeping, airy layout. Light streams through oversize South/West facing windows. The mezzanine level is currently configured as an open master bed room plus kids room/home office. There is also a second full bath with standing shower featuring gorgeous Bisazza mosaic tiles imported from Italy. 687 Leonard is a well-run, boutique condo on a tree lined street in prime Greenpoint. The building is literally steps from transportation (subway, bus and ferry), minutes from multiple parks including McCarren, McGolrick and Transmitter and zoned for PS 31/34. Importantly, it is also part of a neighborhood being redefined by such culture projects as A;D;O and Triskelion Arts, coffee shop/iconic online radio station The Lot Radio, West St and Ruby Bird Studios, Film Noir Cinema and the restaurants, 21 Greenpoint, Anella and Norman. This is a perfect apartment in a neighborhood that is already established, but undervalued and poised to go to the next level.
