442 Van Brunt St Brooklyn, NY 11231

Stunning, architectural masterpiece trophy property is ready for its next owner. Thoughtfully designed by award winning Sarah Jeffries Architecture + Interiors, 442 Van Brunt St was the Architizer A+ Awards 2017 finalist and featured in Mansion Global, MYDOMAIN, Aspire Design and Home, and LIVINGET...C. In the ever-evolving landscape of Red Hook, Brooklyn, this modern 4 bedroom 2 and a half bathroom residence stands as a striking contrast to its industrial surroundings, serving as a vibrant beacon amidst waterfront depots and quaint restaurants and shops. Drawing inspiration from a spirited embrace of color and form, this three-story renovated turn of the century townhouse, complete with a rooftop extension and ground-level commercial space, seamlessly blends contemporary elements like a triple-height light well and a glass-and-steel cable staircase with the raw charm of exposed brick walls and ceiling joists from its original structure. Central to the home's design is the stunning glass and wood staircase, adorned with stainless steel cables spanning three stories, symbolizing the intersection of reclaimed wood and industrial metal that mirrors the neighborhood's ongoing revitalization. Natural light floods the interior through a vast skylight, accented by concealed LED lighting, while the staircase leads to a breathtaking glass bulkhead opening onto a rooftop deck and garden oasis, offering panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty and the East River. Infused with personality and flair, the interiors showcase the designer's eclectic taste, featuring Flavor Paper wallpaper and Heath artisan tiles. From the opulent gold pony skin wallpaper in the master bedroom to the vibrant geometric patterns adorning the kid's rooms and the teal, three-dimensional tiles in the master bathroom, each space reflects a playful yet sophisticated aesthetic. On the second floor, a vibrant color scheme of cobalt blue and orange animates the space, complemented by bespoke deep blue lacquer cabinetry and reclaimed wood accents in the kitchen, while pops of vivid hues and patterns infuse energy into the airy, light-filled rooms. The commercial space is occupied by Dry Dock Wine + Spirits, a well-established neighborhood favorite creating a consistent and reliable cash flow for the next owner. Continue reading
