A True One-Of-A-Kind Townhouse in Brooklyn Heights

There are many lovely townhouses in Brooklyn Heights, often constructed by the same builder in the late 1800's, side by side in groupings of 3 or 4 or 5 in a row. 10 Pineapple stands out amongst its peers because it is a one-of-a-kind, 27.25' wide, wooden-framed, single family house like no others. Perched high in the quiet and private North Brooklyn Heights, 10 Pineapple is steps away from the Promenade - you can even see the East River from a top floor bedroom and from a reading nook on the 3rd floor. Spread over four floors, this home offers five bedrooms, four and a half baths, a home office, a library, wine cellar and three wood burning fireplaces.

LAYOUT
Parlor Floor
Steps that are privately fenced off from the sidewalk lead you up to the Parlor Floor. The living and dining rooms can only be described as elegant and timeless. The rare width of the house provides generous and pleasing proportions to these rooms. There is also a kitchen with a lovely sun room for a morning cup of coffee or an intimate meal. Sliding glass doors open up to a sophisticated sculptural garden which can also be accessed via French doors off the dining room. This floor has easy flow for grand entertaining. A half bath is also located on this floor.

Third Floor
The main staircase brings you to a landing where you will find a unique library that is both private and accessible. This room has a dramatic arched, wooden ceiling and light streams in from the back windows. Up a short few more steps is another landing which is a perfect reading nook where you can look out onto Pineapple Street. This floor also holds the primary bedroom, large bath with steam shower and a deep soaking tub. There is a dressing room with thoughtfully designed closets, built in drawers and loads of cabinet space.

Fourth Floor
The top floor has 4 large bedrooms plus 2 full baths. All the bedrooms open onto a center communal area where a skylight above brings in lots of light. The bathrooms also have skylights and one bathroom holds the washer and dryer.

First Floor
The First Floor was previously used as an office with its own separate entrance, a waiting room and a full bath. This floor could be turned into a media room, rec room or another bedroom for visiting guests. Mechanicals and a storage room are also on this floor.

10 Pineapple is a truly unique townhouse that has to be seen to be appreciated. Convenient to the A/C, 2/3 lines and also close by are the R and 4/5. The Brooklyn Bridge Park is down the hill and shops and restaurants are located on nearby Montague Street.
