House: 286 De Graw Street

286 DeGraw Street is truly a one of a kind offering – a renovated, 30’-wide with double-height 17’ ceilings on two floors. Designed and renovated by renowned architecture firm Baxt Ingui, this stunning single-family home is flooded with light on all floors and features luxurious proportions rarely found in all of New York City.

Upon walking through the stoop entry, you’ll be greeted by a grand steel staircase and the foyer with nearly 13’ ceilings. The gracious parlor sitting room features a wood-burning fireplace and overlooks the double-height kitchen and dining space below. And the powder room pays respect to this home’s historic charm with original wide plank flooring.

Steps down from the parlor is the enormous and luxurious chef’s kitchen and dining area, with 17’+ ceiling heights. Sunlight flows into this incredible space through a wall of windows and french doors that look out to the garden. The open layout kitchen features custom cabinetry, an oversized island, commercial grade appliances, and abundant pantry space. The 30’-wide garden has ample space for outdoor dining and a grass lawn reminiscent of suburban backyards.

Steps down from the kitchen and dining room are the den, guest suite, and full bath. This cozy space can be separated for privacy with a sliding wall or left open to the space above. Outfitted with custom cabinetry and shelving, this floor connects seamlessly to complete this home’s entertainment spaces.

The third floor features a full-width master bedroom suite, with master bath and two oversized walk-in closets. The gracious floorplate also allows for a bedroom, laundry room, full bath, and office/bedroom. Above, the lofty fourth floor features 17’6" ceiling heights and an enormous recreation space. Two bedrooms sit adjacent, along with a full bath and a terrace with city views.

Set on a tree-lined block of townhouses, Number 286 offers a quiet oasis only steps from the bustling retail along Court and Smith Streets. At the nexus of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill, this location offers convenient access to the best of Brownstone Brooklyn. Traverse the tranquil streets and discover local bakeries and butchers, charming coffee shops, fine and casual dining, schools, Carroll Park, and public transit.

30’-wide townhouses are a rarity; finding a renovated one is nearly impossible.
