Light, drama, location and lofted space are just some of the things you will enjoy in this corner two-bedroom duplex condo at the crossroads of Brooklyn Heights and Dumbo. Situated in a dramatic converted boys academy on a charming block complete with historic gas lights and the world class Brooklyn Bridge Park and Promenade at your doorstep. Every subway line outside your door (A/C/2/3/4/5/R/F), surrounded by great schools, amenities, dog parks, shopping and restaurants. Extra-high vaulted ceilings allow for 10 arched windows with a stunning view of the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan skyline, and the opportunity for a home office in addition to the two spacious bedrooms. Sunny all day long in every room, the main floor features a newly renovated kitchen, a loft-like living space with room for a large dining table, and a huge primary bedroom that accommodates a king-sized bed and features a custom loft perfect for a separate office space, nursery, or art studio. Head up a custom staircase with solid oak risers to a lofted bedroom with excellent ceiling height and amazing storage possibilities. There is even additional space for a large work area, or the potential for a second bathroom should your heart desire. Beautifully renovated just a year ago, the open chefs kitchen offers a designer kitchen with wood lacquer cabinetry, a Viking Range, Miele stainless appliances (including a steam oven), White and gray Caesarstone countertops with a waterfall edge, a Whirlpool fridge, and great storage.

This is a rare elevator condo in Brooklyn Heights and includes a live-in super, low common charges and taxes, and a pastoral Zen garden professionally designed for all residents to enjoy.
