19 Cranberry Street #TH, New York City, NY 11201

Perfectly positioned on the coveted corner of Cranberry and Willow Streets in the Brooklyn Heights Historic District, this 26’ wide townhouse with a driveway on Willow Street opens onto the enclosed garden, which can be repurposed as private parking. This 5,568 square foot house spans four stories and boasts five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. Built in 1829 in a classic Federal-style, the exterior of this incredible home belies the impeccably restored interior, including grand rooms with high ceilings and restored crown moldings, hand-carved and milled trim, and a grand total of 30 windows, ensuring all-day natural light.

Entering this iconic home through original French doors with etched glass paneling, the parlor level greets you with two stately entertaining rooms, each with original dark marble-mantled fireplaces and soaring ceiling heights and separated by oversized pocket doors. Hemmed in by ornate wrought-iron, the New Orleans-style terrace off the rear parlor looks over, and descends to the private, fenced in backyard.

On the garden-level, the eat-in kitchen has been renovated with top-of-the-line appliances like a custom 3-oven LaCanche range, a suite of Gaggenau appliances, a sizeable butler’s pantry, and a huge marble-topped island, yet maintains its original warmth, thanks to vintage wood cabinets, exposed beams, and wide-planked floorboards. A wood-paneled library/bedroom with a fireplace and custom cabinetry faces the back garden.

Self-contained and serene, the palatial primary suite encompasses the entire second floor. A huge corner bedroom with an original fireplace flows to a high-ceilinged dressing room with ample storage, and on to the spacious ensuite bathroom. Continuing with the French New Orleans aesthetic, the ensuite boasts an original marble soaking tub, a freestanding shower with nickel finishes, another fireplace, dual vanity, and exquisite marble tiling. Two rooms stand on either side of the primary suite: one perfect as a study, the other as an office.

The top floor features three further bedrooms and a shared, penny-tiled full bathroom, as well as a convenient second laundry room with Miele W/D. The basement features a full-sized laundry room, custom-built wine cellar and an excavated gym.

Thoughtful touches that ensure the integrity of the home for generations include a completely restored mansard roof, new ironwork fencing surrounding the home, all new, repointed brownstone, and all new interior infrastructural systems such as steel-corseted stairs.

A unique opportunity to experience a sense of history and grandeur while enjoying modern conveniences, this offering presents a rare moment to own a piece of historic Brooklyn architecture. This is a co-exclusive with Karen Talbott and Kyle Talbott, The Corcoran Group.
