Polhemus Residences, 100 Amity Street

Condo located in Cobble Hill, between Amity Street & Congress Street

Description of Polhemus Residences at 100 Amity Street

100 Amity Street was erected as the Polhemus Memorial Clinic in 1897 and converted to Polhemus Residences, a 17-unit luxury condominium, in 2019. The clinic was famous for housing one of the first-ever X-ray machines; during the conversion, its French Renaissance limestone and iron-spot brick façade was restored to its former glory. All units feature loft-like, contextually sensitive interiors with windows up to 11 feet tall, voluminous ceilings, bespoke finishes, custom millwork, Gaggenau appliances in the kitchen, and spa-like baths.

Select units have private terraces, and all residents have access to a two-level amenity suite. This includes a wood-paneled billiards library with a fireplace, a state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga studio, and rooftop terrace with brownstone and New York Harbor views.
