80 Adelphi St APT 1B, Brooklyn, NY 11205

The epitome of elevated loft living, this 1+ bedroom, 1.5 bath duplex in Fort Greene was expertly renovated by Appel Architects to create a beautiful, open space with seamless indoor/outdoor living. The 21 foot ceilings are fully taken advantage of in this duplex, with 14-foot glass doors leading to the private, landscaped yard--a green oasis--just off the first floor kitchen and double-height living room. A custom staircase leads to a second floor with a bedroom overlooking the garden, a full bathroom, and an office/flexible second bedroom with custom oak shutters that overlooks the living space and garden below. The professionally designed space mixes urban industrial with the natural world, best evidenced by the showpiece, a blackened steel spiral staircase that connects the levels. This functional, yet beautiful, bit of architecture is softened by custom oak paneling along the kitchen and upper mezzanine, as well as by its juxtaposition against the verdant yard via the glass doors. The kitchen continues to mix materials in a considered way, from the custom oak cabinetry and island to the carrera marble countertops, reclaimed floating shelves, and brass pulls. There is a powder room on this level with custom black wainscoting and designer wallpaper. The whole ground floor has been outfitted with heated flooring. Upstairs, the full bath was outfitted with subway tile, sleek glass, and patinated brass. Featured in design magazines Lonny and MyDomaine in 2020, 80 Adelphi #1B boasts a stylish approach to space and utility, offering a beautiful, efficient space for modern living. Its location in Fort Greene allows easy access to Fort Greene Park and the shops on Myrtle Ave, as well as the Navy Yard, with Wegmans, Russ & Daughters, and Brooklyn Roasting Company.
