New townhouses at 96-98 Degraw Street via Corcoran
As the Columbia Street Waterfront District experiences a renaissance, the neighborhood has eschewed soaring residential towers in favor of modern townhouses that nod to local history while incorporating contemporary luxuries and amenities. Prices at the recently completed Carroll Street Townhomes start at $3.4 million. A semi-attached row house at 94 DeGraw Street is listed for $2.995 million. And as construction winds down directly next door, sales have launched on a pair of three-story townhouses at 96-98 DeGraw Street with prices starting at $4.5 million.
Upon entering each four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath townhouse, a small gallery and a few steps lead to a light-filled chef’s kitchen outfitted with Miele appliances, marble countertops, and custom oak cabinetry. Large glass doors open to a south-facing deck and private backyard. Elsewhere in the apartment, a sculptural oak staircase leads to the living room, which has a gas fireplace, and the top-floor master suite with floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in closet, and double-vanity bath.

Both homes were developed and designed by Barrett Design to meet Passive House standards for ultimate energy efficiency. However, style was not sacrificed for the sake of sustainability: Polished concrete floors and extensive insulation keep the third-floor bedrooms quiet and comfortable, and triple-paned floor-to-ceiling windows fill the townhouses with natural light.
The townhouses are topped with roof decks that overlook panoramic views of New York Harbor, Governors Island, and Lower Manhattan. Additional perks include 11’ ceilings, radiant heating, skylights, and indoor and outdoor parking. The location allows for easy access to the Red Hook ferry stop, Cobble Hill Cinemas, and local favorites like Alma, Brooklyn Farmacy and Soda Fountain, and The Hop Shop.
