Isang bagong tahanan na townhouse ng ECKSTROM.

Sa isa sa mga pinaka-maganda at puno ng puno na kalye ng Cobble Hill, ang 487 Henry Street ay isang muling naisip na townhouse mula sa ika-19 na siglo—malinaw sa bisyon, pigil sa pagsasakatuparan.

Itinayo noong 1844 at 1845 ni Jacob Frost, ang tahanan ay muling binuo, pinagyaman, at dinisenyo ng ECKSTRØM kasabay ng General Assembly. Ang orihinal na hagdang-bato, sukat, at rhythmic façade ay nananatili, habang ang mga panloob ay naisip muli para sa makabagong pamumuhay, na nagsasama ng mga prinsipyo ng passive na disenyo upang mapahusay ang kahusayan sa enerhiya, ginhawa, at pagganap sa kapaligiran.

Sumasaklaw ng 6,271 square feet sa limang palapag, nag-aalok ang tahanan ng limang silid-tulugan, apat na buong banyo, at dalawang powder room, na pinasisigla ng 2,024 square feet ng pribadong panlabas na espasyo. Pinananatili ng bahay ang hirarkiya na nagtatakda ng klasikong pamumuhay sa townhouse, habang nagpapakilala ng mas bukas at konektadong layout.

Ang antas ng parlor ay sentro ng pakikisalamuha, na may maluluwag na taas ng kisame at natural na daloy sa pagitan ng sala at kainan. Sa ibaba, ang kusina ay direktang bukas sa pribadong hardin, na lumilikha ng mas impormal na kapaligiran para sa tahimik na ritwal ng pang-araw-araw na buhay.

Isang pinigil na palette ng mga materyales ang sumasaklaw sa buong tahanan, na itinatampok ng flat-sawn white oak na sahig at halo-halong marmol, walnut, at quartzite na countertop. Ang custom millwork at mga sculptural na elemento ay nagdadala ng init, habang ang mas malalaking arkitektural na hakbang ay nagtatakda ng karanasan ng espasyo. Ang hagdang-bato ay nagsisilbing pangunahing tampok, na itinayo ng isang sculptural mahogany railing na nag-uugnay sa bawat antas.

Kasama sa mga finishing ang Waterworks fixtures, bespoke cabinetry na may Blum hardware, at isang pinasining na Farrow & Ball palette, na pinapasigla ng limewashed na mga pader at millwork na inspirado ng mga panloob mula sa ika-19 na siglo.

Mayroon ding tampok ang tahanan ng isang pribadong wellness retreat na may fitness studio, sauna, at cold plunge.

Maraming family room, kasama ang dalawang outdoor na kusina at dalawang landscaped roof decks na may malawak na tanawin ng skyline, na sumusuporta sa parehong pang-araw-araw na pamumuhay at mas pribadong mga sandali sa loob ng bahay.

Isang pambihirang pagkakataon na magkaroon ng isang ginawang makasaysayang tahanan sa Cobble Hill—na binuo at pinagyaman ng ECKSTRØM, ang pangunahing atelier ng pag-unlad ng townhouse sa New York City.

A new townhouse residence by ECKSTROM.

On one of Cobble Hill’s most picturesque, tree-lined blocks, 487 Henry Street is a reimagined 19th-century townhouse—clear in vision, restrained in execution.

Built between 1844 and 1845 by Jacob Frost, the residence has been reimagined, developed, and designed by ECKSTRØM in collaboration with General Assembly. The original stoop, proportions, and rhythmic façade remain intact, while the interiors have been reconceived for present-day living, incorporating passive design principles to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and environmental performance.

Spanning 6,271 square feet across five floors, the home offers five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two powder rooms, complemented by 2,024 square feet of private outdoor space. The house retains the hierarchy that defines classic townhouse living, while introducing a more open, connected layout.

The parlor level is centered around entertaining, with generous ceiling heights and a natural flow between living and dining. Below, the kitchen opens directly to the private garden, creating a more informal setting for the quiet rituals of daily life.

A restrained palette of materials runs throughout, defined by flat-sawn white oak floors and a mix of marble, walnut, and quartzite countertops. Custom millwork and sculptural elements add warmth, while larger architectural moves define the experience of the space. The stair serves as a central feature, anchored by a sculptural mahogany railing that connects each level.

Finishes include Waterworks fixtures, bespoke cabinetry with Blum hardware, and a refined Farrow & Ball palette, complemented by limewashed walls and millwork inspired by 19th-century interiors.

The residence also features a private wellness retreat with a fitness studio, sauna, and cold plunge.

Multiple family rooms, along with two outdoor kitchens and two landscaped roof decks with sweeping skyline views, support both everyday living and more private moments within the home.

A rare opportunity to own a crafted historic residence in Cobble Hill—conceived and developed by ECKSTRØM, New York City’s premier townhouse development atelier.
