No. 68 Greenpoint - A Penthouse Retreat Above It All

On a quiet, tree-lined block along Brooklyn's East River waterfront, No. 68 rises as a rare boutique residence where townhouse privacy meets penthouse scale. Here, historic Greenpoint charm merges with refined, contemporary design to create a home unlike any other.

The Penthouse is a sanctuary of light and volume. Across nearly 2,300 square feet, natural sunlight pours in from three exposures and two dramatic skylights with sculptural cove ceilings. The full-floor Great Room stretches beneath 12-foot ceilings and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, framing uninterrupted skyline views and filling the space with a feeling of openness and calm.

At its heart, a chef's kitchen is both functional and poetic. Custom lacquer cabinetry is paired with Fior di Bosco stone, and a full suite of Miele appliances-including French-door refrigerator, induction cooktop, and smart wall oven-anchor the space. A pot filler adds convenience for everyday cooking. Bathed in southern and eastern exposures, the kitchen is constantly awash in natural light and opens seamlessly onto a private east-facing terrace, ideal for breakfast in the sun or casual gatherings.

On the west side, a second terrace offers a different mood-a perfect spot for sunsets, a quiet book, and a cup of tea or a glass of wine. Together, the terraces create a daily rhythm of light, air, and connection to the city beyond.

The private primary suite is a retreat within a retreat. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring in soft morning light, while walnut floors ground the space with warmth. The ensuite bathroom is an ode to craftsmanship: Levanto Verde marble, a sculptural clay soaking tub by Studio Loho, spa shower, and a custom walnut vanity crowned with a hand-cut marble sink sourced from Evia Island, Greece. Secondary baths are wrapped in American-made fire clay tile, while the jewel-box powder room dazzles with Calacatta Monet marble, a Viola marble vanity, and a green marble lapidary mosaic by Cle Tile. Every fixture throughout is by Phylrich-an elevated detail that speaks to the level of finish.

Above it all, a private full-floor rooftop oasis transforms daily living into something cinematic. Brazilian hardwood decking and fencing embrace a built-in grill, outdoor shower, and multiple seating areas. Here, 360-degree skyline views stretch across Manhattan, Long Island City, and the East River. This rooftop isn't just for lounging-it is a place to make memories, celebrate milestones, and gather your favorite people for the moments that matter most.

From the walnut floors underfoot to the sculptural details overhead, every inch of the Penthouse at No. 68 has been designed with intent. A private elevator, multiple outdoor spaces, and boutique-scaled construction ensure intimacy without sacrificing scale.

And beyond your front door, Greenpoint offers the best of Brooklyn living-boutiques and vintage shops, Michelin-rated restaurants, artisanal cafes, and a soon-to-open waterfront park that will redefine the neighborhood's landscape.

No. 68 is more than a home. It is a statement of design, a rare intersection of privacy, craftsmanship, and lifestyle in one of New York's most dynamic neighborhoods.
