11 Cranberry St Brooklyn, NY 11201

Set on a picturesque tree-lined block steps from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, 11 Cranberry Street is a stunning, mint-condition 25.5'-wide mansion, meticulously redesigned by renowned architecture firm HS2. Commemorated by a historic plaque, the "Mott Bedell House" was originally built in 1840 f...or Mott Bedell, a ship's chandler with offices on Wall Street. Reimagined through a five-year, full gut renovation, this astounding townhouse has been completely rebuilt and restored, extending the building and creating a usable cellar with a large sauna and separate steam shower. The scope of the renovation included new structural work, radiant heated flooring on all floors, and full Control4 smart home automation, making it one of New York City's finest and most luxurious historic homes. The original door at the top of the grand stoop entry opens to a parlor floor featuring approximately 14' ceilings, original moldings, a fireplace mantel, and restored historic plaster moldings. No detail was spared in outfitting this home with every desirable modern amenity, while retaining elements of its historic past. The triple parlor is anchored by a centrally located chef's kitchen featuring custom millwork and cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, and an oversized island with seating. To the rear is a spacious wood-paneled dining area highlighted by a two-story rear bronze window wall overlooking the gardens of Hicks Street and a majestic 200-year-old tree.

The top floor of this magnificent townhouse is laid out as a living room but could function as an additional bedroom as it features a full bathroom and closet. Two massive terraces flank the penthouse, offering breathtaking city views, including the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan skyline.
