Description

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Luxury extraordinaire is now yours to acquire and enjoy in prized Brooklyn Heights, atop the landmarked boutique 72 Poplar Street condominium. The 2,000 sq ft full-floor penthouse is a showplace home on a charming tree-lined block, boasting impeccably designed and renovated interiors, met by an extraordinary 2,458 sq ft of wraparound roof terraces. This one-of-a-kind dream residence further sets itself above with its breathtaking views of Lower Manhattan, and oversized light-filled windows lining the entire apartment.

A keyed elevator transports you into an ambience of unparalleled elegance, brimming with refined finishes and details at every turn. Among the extensive upgrades of this 3 bedroom, 3 full bathroom gem is exquisite millwork done by Sylvain Frey Atelier, one of the finest millworkers in NYC, including a custom-built storage and bench in the entryway, custom space-maximizing laundry closet, custom-created master closet and desk area, and built-in storage and desk in the secondary bedroom. New door hardware throughout, new recessed lighting and electrical plates from Forbes and Lomax, all marble bathrooms (2 with heated flooring) and automated blackout shades are among other sophisticated enhancements.

Indoor-outdoor living and entertaining is truly beyond compare. Host guests in the light, bright and airy open great room featuring a Town and Country gas fireplace with bluestone wall, Marvin windows, a custom-crafted soundproof double glass and metal door, and double doors from the dining area leading out to the roof deck oasis. Culinary creations are inspired in the top-of-the-line Elam Brand chef's kitchen appointed with Caesarstone countertops with custom built-in storage below the new enlarged and lowered counter, custom-made black leather and chrome Kitchen pulls from Coloniale, Ann Sacks tile backsplash, and premium appliances comprised of a 36" Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf double oven and warming Drawer, Wolf 5-burner stove with water dispenser, and 46-bottle wine cooler for storing favorite vintages.

The private primary bedroom retreat is a perfect place to unwind, complete with an enormous custom walk-in closet and phenomenal spa-like en-suite bath with radiant heat, Waterworks faucet, dual sinks, a soaking tub and separate shower. A second bedroom suite with outdoor access, third bedroom or office, high-end hall bath, Daikin heating/AC in 3 zones (included in common charges), an in-home refuse room and compactor, and private storage are among the other highlights.

The piece de resistance is the amazing, expansive outdoor rooftop enveloping the home, overlooking stunning city views and the Brooklyn Bridge. Brook Landscape created a sanctuary with full landscaping, a built-in in-ground garden, brand new irrigation system, and low voltage electrical and lights throughout.

Built in 1912 by famed architects Beverly King and Harry Walker, 72 Poplar is a landmark Italian Renaissance Revival jewel, converted from an original police station to a boutique 14-unit condominium in 2014. It offers virtual security, an onsite super, lounge, fitness center, locked package room and bike room. Best of all is the address at the crossroads of coveted Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo, minutes to restaurants, cafes, Brooklyn Bridge Park, subways and more.
