Welcome to 96 Schermerhorn Street, Penthouse E, a brilliantly designed studio loft that maximizes every inch of space with style.

The lower level of this Downtown Brooklyn home features a large living area under nearly 12-foot ceilings featuring creative display shelving that opens to reveal a large storage area. The modern bathroom features an updated white subway-tiled shower/tub combination balanced by dark flooring and a stylish gray vanity.

You'll love the elevated dining area, just outside your open, renovated kitchen with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and dark countertops, creating a sophisticated contrast. Two windows frame the east-facing open views across Brooklyn filling the space with light. It's perfect for entertaining.

On the opposite end of the home, you'll ascend the striking black industrial chic stairs with sleek metal railings to find a cozy lofted sleeping area. The custom-built bed nook features well-designed cutouts on both sides, creating an airy retreat under the six-foot high ceiling. There's ample space for a dresser or a desk for a dedicated work-from-home area.

Built in 1928 during the Art Deco era, 96 Schermerhorn Street was formerly home to St. Johns College before its conversion in 1981. The building offers residents a full-service experience with round-the-clock doorman, convenient second-floor laundry facilities, dual passenger elevators, dedicated bicycle storage and basement storage units (currently with a waiting list), and a spectacular communal rooftop terrace that provides views of Manhattan's iconic skyline and Brooklyn's evolving urban landscape.

Situated where four of Brooklyn's most coveted neighborhoods intersect-Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Cobble Hill, and Boerum Hill - this address delivers exceptional access to the borough's finest offerings. The vibrant shopping and dining scenes of Smith Street, Atlantic Avenue, and Court Street lie just steps from your door, while commuters benefit from numerous transit options via the nearby Borough Hall and Jay Street-MetroTech transportation hubs, putting all of NYC within easy reach.
