  A Masterpiece in Cobble Hill: Exquisitely Renovated Six-Story Townhouse Perched on one of Cobble Hill's most coveted tree-lined streets, this extraordinary single-family townhouse spans six impeccably designed levels, including a state-of-the-art finished basement. Every inch of this residence has been masterfully reimagined through a meticulous gut renovation, seamlessly marrying historic charm with modern luxury. Ascend the stately stoop and step inside, where a gracious entry hall leads to a breathtaking formal living room featuring soaring ceilings nearly 12' tall, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a striking fireplace. The spacious floor is finished with a sophisticated formal dining room, offering dramatic views through a full wall of windows, overlooking the serene garden below - an entertainer's dream. On the garden level, discover an exceptional culinary experience. The immaculate chef's kitchen is equipped with a spacious pantry, custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, a dumbwaiter, and a cozy dining nook. This level also includes a well-appointed guest bedroom with a full en-suite bath and private front entry, perfect for visitors.

This level includes a sleek home theater, a professional-grade yoga studio or fitness room, a full bath with luxurious sauna, and thoughtfully concealed storage. It is a sanctuary of wellness and leisure unlike any other. The third-floor features two generous guest bedrooms, each with en-suite baths and spacious closets, a light-filled office, and a large laundry room. Above, the entire fourth floor is devoted to a magnificent primary suite: a serene bedroom retreat with a luminous spa-like bathroom, two expansive walk-in closets, and a private den or sitting room designed for quiet mornings or peaceful evenings. The top floor is yet another oasis - a sun-drenched lounge level complete with a full kitchen, additional living room crowned by a dramatic skylight, full bathroom, and a stylish den with terrace access. Whether hosting on the terrace or relaxing under the skylight, this floor is a showstopper. A second laundry room completes the convenience of this level. This is not just a home - it's a lifestyle.
