164 Coffey Street New York City, NY 11231

Planted on one of the Brooklyn waterfront’s most desirable retreats, 164 Coffey Street is quintessentially…Red Hook. This treasure of a home began life as a six unit apartment house during the early 1930’s as the cobblestoned block resisted the city’s urge to industrialize and fall to the whims of the almighty dollar. Somehow, it thrived and remains all at once bucolic, sunny, quiet with a yet-to-be discovered energy.

Unassuming yet impressively grand, number 164 has been lovingly transformed into an unexpected and charming home by the skilled design team at Hendricks Churchill. Its unique aesthetic could easily be found nestled among the rolling hills of Litchfield County or tucked away on a narrow street in Nantucket. Expertly designed with an ‘upside down’ layout commonly seen in these parts, you'll enter through the owner's foyer and ascend to the top floor great room. This space makes full use of the house's 25-foot width, boasting a cozy wood burning fireplace, bookshelves for miles, luxurious natural light throughout the day, and breathtaking views of New York's Upper Bay to the south. But the true standout feature is the carefully crafted kitchen - perfect for the chef in your house. With nearly 16 feet of counter space on two sides, a fully stocked pantry, and a chef's office looking out to the north where hints of lower Manhattan can be seen, this is truly a dream kitchen. Across from the kitchen is the dining area, comfortably seating 12 but able to accommodate up to 20 for a sit-down dinner. Tucked away in its own secluded corner is a spacious and bright creative space, perfect for a home office or den. Upstairs, the rooftop offers stunning views in all four directions with a full solar array and endless potential for creating your own personal oasis. Imagine watching summer sunsets behind the Statue of Liberty, sipping cocktails with the iconic Manhattan skyline as your backdrop, or spending sun-soaked afternoons making memories with loved ones on your private rooftop hideaway.

The second floor of this magnificent home is dedicated to resting and recharging. The spacious primary suite is flooded with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It features a well-planned walkthrough closet that leads into the luxurious bathroom complete with double sinks, a separate wet area for the shower, and a cast iron tub. As you continue through the second floor, there are three equally sized bedrooms that share a spacious bathroom with double sinks and a separate shower room. For added convenience, there is also a laundry room equipped with a large front-loading washer and dryer, utility sink, folding counter, and ample storage space. Descending to the high-ceilinged basement, which is part of the owner's private area, reveals a well-laid-out space consisting of a gym, playroom, more storage options, as well as a large and meticulously organized workshop and mechanical room. To top it off, the ground floor boasts a generously sized apartment with access to the huge backyard – perfect for accommodating in-laws, au pairs, or generating additional income. This versatile space could also serve as a creative suite for those seeking an inspiring workspace.
