Set on a bucolic stretch of Henry Street in the heart of Cobble Hill, 479 Henry Street is a rarely available, mint condition, single-family townhouse. Conceived by Founder, CCO, and Head of Design of the acclaimed and award-winning DDG architecture design, build, and develop firm, this 22'-wide home has just undergone a complete gut renovation and has been reimagined as a contemporary oasis. The expansive scope of work includes all-new structure, new mechanical systems, restored front facade to landmarks standards and rebuilt rear facades, new windows, and more.

Behind the gated forecourt and the high brownstone stoop, the loft-like parlor floor seamlessly blends kitchen, living, and dining. This grand and luxe space overlooks an oversized garden through an expansive glass wall that was custom fabricated in furniture grade thick white oak from Yellowtrees Studios. These details offer a glimpse of the contemporary flair that the design team has utilized to create an open and airy space that still feels warm and welcoming.

Flooring materials range from Austrian 7-1/4"-wide kiln aged white oak floors throughout, beautiful bluestone pavers in the front and rear gardens, and herringbone Carrara and Seta marble slabs and tiling in the bathrooms. Bright natural sunlight pours into the home from both eastern and western exposures, allowing for direct morning and afternoon light. The garden floor features an additional bedroom, full bathroom, and living space, as well as a fireplace, wet bar, and access to the two-tiered landscaped garden. One of three gracious outdoor spaces, the garden is surrounded by other townhouses and their private gardens on all sides.

On the third level, there are two secondary bedrooms, an office/playroom, and a full bathroom, all with sizable storage space and proportions. The top floor is a one-of-a-kind, hotel suite, primary bedroom floor. Greeted by a spa-like double vanity featuring white quartz counters and a separate shower, tub, and water room, an incredible vaulted ceiling detail defines the space with 15' ceiling height at peak level. A lofted storage section allows for ample storage. A private ipe terrace in the rear overlooks the surrounding townhouse gardens with open skyline views above. This bedroom is both unique and efficiently designed, leaving no space underutilized while creating an incredible and unique suite experience.

Located on a block of 61 townhomes, surrounded by the best of Cobble Hill, and minutes from Manhattan, 479 Henry Street blends location, intelligent design, and the highest level of finish. The most discerning of purchasers will recognize the extremely unique and rare opportunity to own a completely mint architect renovated home in the most coveted Brooklyn neighborhood.
