817 5th Avenue
Description
On the first floor is a convertible bedroom that feels more like a loft, offering enough space to carve out a lounge corner or workspace, and is comfortable, versatile, and instantly impressive, or it can be used as a living room altogether. The second floor is the heart of the house: a spacious chef’s kitchen with custom cabinetry, honed bluestone and walnut countertops, MosaicHouse mosaic tile accents, and a striking Smeg 5-burner range paired with Fisher & Paykel and Miele appliances. An oversized island anchors the space, flowing into a dining area wrapped in windows. With its mix of reclaimed flooring, exposed concrete, and tree-filled views, this level feels like a contemporary Aspen retreat, ideal for both lively dinner parties and quiet mornings. The third floor is a private sanctuary. Here, an ensuite bedroom features radiant-heated concrete floors and a spa-like bath where a deep tub sits against a dramatic brick wall, flanked by soaring windows. The effect is pure Parisian romance, right in Brooklyn. The top floor completes the house with another light-filled bedroom and access to a private terrace, a Scandinavian-inspired hideaway perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. The rec level sets the tone with radiant-heated concrete floors, a full bath, laundry/utility room, and an expansive flexible space, perfect for a studio, media room, or as you see fit.
Throughout the home, comfort is as carefully designed as style. A Mitsubishi City Multi AC System with concealed air handlers provides zoned climate control on every level. Convertible to 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 2 half baths, this home adapts effortlessly to modern life. The rare convenience of exclusive parking, the character of industrial design softened by artisanal finishes, and the global inspiration woven into each floor make 817 5th Avenue a true one-of-a-kind in Greenwood Heights, one of Brooklyn’s most quietly beloved neighborhoods. Known for its tree-lined streets, creative energy, and local charm, Greenwood Heights offers the best of both worlds: easy access to Prospect Park, Industry City, and the restaurants of Park Slope and Sunset Park, while still feeling like a tucked-away retreat. And when it’s time to head into Manhattan, the commute couldn’t be easier: multiple nearby subway lines, including the D, N, and R trains, get you downtown in about 20 minutes. Or take a local stroll to Industry City, which offers an ever-evolving mix of food halls, art studios, shopping, and waterfront views, making it the perfect destination right in your backyard
