Maligayang pagdating sa 96 Franklin Street — isang pambihirang pagkakataong minsan lang dumarating sa buhay upang magkaroon ng ganap na inayos na bahay para sa isang pamilya, isang obra maestra na walang katulad sa merkado, na may limang kuwarto, tatlo’t kalahating banyo, pribadong garahe, pribadong elevator, mga solar panel, cedar na hot tub para sa pagbababad, panlabas na kusina, at malalawak na tanawin ng Manhattan at East River. Ang pambihirang tahanang ito ay nasa Franklin at Oak Street sa pinakamagandang bahagi ng Greenpoint, dalawang bloke lamang mula sa East River at sa bagong tayong waterfront park. Kahanga-hanga ang lokasyon pa lamang.

Ang maluwang na tahanang ito ay may lawak na 4,346 square feet ng maingat na inayos na interior. Ngunit ang tunay na nagpapabihira sa bahay na ito ay ang lahat ng nasa loob at nasa ibabaw nito. May 900 square feet na rooftop na may walang harang na tanawin ng East River at Manhattan. Maraming panlabas na espasyo — isang pribadong hardin, isang terrace na may mga halaman, at isang sky deck na mararamdaman mong sarili mong mundo sa ibabaw ng lungsod.

Ganap na inayos ng kasalukuyang mga may-ari ang tahanang ito gamit ang pinakamataas na antas ng mga materyales at konstruksyong maiisip. Mula simula hanggang wakas, bawat detalye ay nilapitan nang may masusing pag-iingat at malinaw na layunin. Isa itong tahanang itinayong tumagal, at itinayong tirhan sa pinakamataas na antas ng kaginhawaan.

Dumaan sa maitim na ladrilyong harapan at pumasok sa isang mundong hitik sa liwanag at espasyo. Ang pasukan ay isang eskultural na hangganan — orihinal na pulang ladrilyo sa sahig, at pasadyang bakal at salamin na nagbabalangkas sa paglipat mula sa kalsada patungo sa isang pribadong kanlungan. Sa loob, isang kapansin-pansing skylight ang bumabagtas sa gitna ng bahay mula rooftop hanggang ground floor, na binabaha ng likas na liwanag ang lahat ng apat na palapag. Katabi nito ay umaakyat ang isang kurbadong hagdanan na may hawakang puting oak at balustradang yari sa maitim na bakal. Isang pribadong elevator ang nagdurugtong sa bawat antas.

Bukas ang unang palapag sa isang malawak na open-plan na kusina, dining area, at sala. May pasadyang kabinet na puting oak, isang sage-green na isla na may ibabaw na book-matched na puting marmol, at mga appliance na pang-propesyonal, kabilang ang six-burner na Wolf range at Sub-Zero refrigerator. Sa likuran, bumubukas ang salaming mula sahig hanggang kisame patungo sa isang pribadong harding oasis kung saan nagtatagpo ang flagstone at matatandang puno, isang lugar para tamasahin ang katahimikan at kapayapaan na lubos na sa iyo.

Nasa ikalawang palapag ang isang maluwang na sala na bumubukas patungo sa sarili nitong pribadong terrace. Dalawa pang kuwarto sa palapag na ito ang maliwanag at hitik sa likas na liwanag, bawat isa ay may maluwang na shelving at malalaking aparador.

Ang ikatlong palapag ay inilaan para sa pangunahing suite at dalawa pang kuwarto. Tampok sa pangunahing kuwarto ang isang ensuite na paliguan na parang spa, na may eskultural na lababo na yari sa pinukpok na tanso, warm-toned na zellige tile sa walk-in shower, mga organikong anyo sa buong espasyo, at isang freestanding soaking tub. Kumpleto ang pribadong kanlungang ito sa isang maluwang na walk-in closet. Ang dalawa pang kuwarto ay nakaharap sa kanluran, kapwa maliwanag at puno ng likas na liwanag, at bawat isa ay may maluwang na built-in shelving at saganang espasyo sa aparador.

Ang ibabang palapag ay may napakaluwang na recreation room na may matataas na kisame at bukas na espasyo — mainam bilang media room, gym, playroom, o home office. Narito rin ang full-size na washer at dryer. Maayos at tuluy-tuloy na nakakaugnay ang antas na ito sa iba pang bahagi ng tahanan.

At naroon naman ang rooftop. May 900 square feet ng pribadong panlabas na espasyo na may walang harang na tanawin ng East River at Manhattan. Isang cedar na hot tub para sa pagbababad ang nagsisilbing sentro ng open-air lounge. Isang pasadyang pergola na yari sa maitim na bakal ang nagbibigay ng silong sa panlabas na kusina na may professional grill at dining area, na nasa ibabaw nito ang mga integrated solar panel na lumilikha ng malinis na enerhiya para sa tahanan sa buong taon.

Welcome to 96 Franklin Street — a once in a lifetime opportunity to own this totally renovated single family masterpiece like nothing else on the market, with five bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a private garage, a private elevator, solar panels, a cedar soaking hot tub, an outdoor kitchen, and sweeping Manhattan and East River views. This rare home sits on Franklin and Oak Street in prime Greenpoint, just two blocks from the East River and the newly developed waterfront park. The location alone is extraordinary.

This expansive home spans 4,346 square feet of meticulously renovated interior space. But what makes this house truly rare is everything that lives inside and on top of it. 900 square feet of rooftop with unobstructed views of the East River and Manhattan. Multiple outdoor spaces — a private garden, a planted terrace, a sky deck that feels like your own world above the city.

This home was completely renovated by the current owners to the highest level of finishes and construction imaginable. From soup to nuts, every detail was approached with meticulous care and intention. This is a home built to last, built to be lived in at the absolute highest level.

Walk through the blackened brick facade and enter a world of light and space. The entry is a sculptural threshold — original red brick underfoot, custom steel and glass framing the transition from street to sanctuary. Inside, a dramatic skylight cuts through the center of the home from rooftop to ground, flooding all four floors with natural light. A curved staircase with white oak handrail and blackened steel balustrade rises beside it. A private elevator connects every level.

The first floor opens into a sweeping open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Custom white oak cabinetry, a sage-green island topped in book-matched white marble, professional-grade appliances including a six burner Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator. Floor-to-ceiling glass at the rear opens to a private garden oasis where flagstone meets mature trees, where you can enjoy quiet and peace, entirely your own.

The second floor holds a generous living room that opens onto its own private terrace. Two additional bedrooms on this floor are bright and filled with light, each with generous shelving and large closets.

The third floor is dedicated to the primary suite and two additional bedrooms. The primary bedroom features a spa-like ensuite with a sculptural hammered copper vessel sink, warm-toned zellige tile in the walk-in shower, organic forms throughout, and a freestanding soaking tub. A generous walk-in closet completes this private retreat. Two additional bedrooms face west, both bright and filled with natural light, each with generous built-in shelving and abundant closet space.

The lower level provides a sprawling recreation room with soaring ceilings and open space — ideal as a media room, gym, playroom, or home office. Full-size washer and dryer are located here. This level connects seamlessly to the rest of the home.

And then there is the roof. 900 square feet of private outdoor space with unobstructed views of the East River and Manhattan. A cedar soaking hot tub anchors the open-air lounge. A custom blackened steel pergola shelters an outdoor kitchen with professional grill and dining area, topped with integrated solar panels that generate clean energy for the home year-round.
