51 Tompkins Pl Brooklyn, NY 11231

A new townhouse residence by ECKSTROM. Originally built in 1899, this historic Cobble Hill brownstone has been meticulously reimagined by ECKSTROM in a design collaboration with Ryall Sheridan Carroll Architects, maximizing its generous proportions while adding a sophisticated, contemporary twis...t through the study of the use of light, shade, and air to create unexpected and welcoming spaces throughout the house. A bright and cozy sitting area with a functional fireplace leads to a sun-filled dining room with a double height ceiling and a chef''s kitchen with a striking twenty feet long wall of Calacatta Viola marble countertops, backsplash, and sculptured island that overlooks your private landscaped garden. With wall-to-wall sliding doors and easy access to a large mahogany wood deck that is only a step below the dining area, indoor and outdoor entertaining can be seamlessly combined to provide year-round entertainment. Set in a spacious, 23 feet wide, semi detached, turn-of-the-century brownstone with an elevator that reaches all floors, this home features a double height ceiling gym, a custom cedar sauna, a large laundry room, three private outdoor spaces, including a roof deck with an outdoor kitchen and city views, and a large laundry room. The carefully selected finishes include Ash wood floor planks by Dinesen imported from Denmark, new windows by LePage, Calacatta Viola marble countertops imported from Italy, custom Shinnoki wood cabinets made in Belgium, and a full Gaggenau appliance package with a 48 inch gas cooktop, two 30 inch ovens, a 48 inch fridge and freezer, two sinks, filtered water, wine fridge and a plumbed built-in cappucino maker. Bathrooms and kitchens feature fixtures by Waterworks, Duravit, and Porcelanosa with natural stone countertops in Ocean Blue Travertine and Belvedere Leather natural stones. Full lighting package curated by Hovey Design with a mixture of vintage and modern fixtures by Artemide, Teiko, Santa & Cole and Flos. This gut renovated home, with new structure, insulation, roof, windows and mechanicals has been fully updated and redesigned in the soft minimalist style, an ECKSTROM signature, creating again a home that focuses on well being by reducing the spaces to their most basic, pure forms and utilizing using only the highest quality of honest, natural materials.
