About This Property
Penthouse G at Court Street Lofts is a truly distinctive two-bedroom, two-bathroom condominium in prime Carroll Gardens, offering 1,097 square feet with dramatic vaulted ceilings soaring over 17 feet. Housed within the former Doehler Die Casting Factory, this one-of-a-kind residence combines authentic industrial character with an open, loft-inspired layout, abundant natural light, and sweeping southwestern views encompassing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and the waters of Gowanus Bay.
Oversized south-facing windows draw natural light deep into the residence throughout the day, while the impressive ceiling heights create an extraordinary sense of scale. Exposed concrete flooring, structural beams, and columns express the industrial character of the space, and the expansive southern exposure and open views provide a striking backdrop throughout the main living space. The open living and dining areas offer ample flexibility for entertaining. The chic open kitchen is tucked off to the side, and features a full suite of GE Café appliances, including a double-oven gas convection range and hood, French-door refrigerator with freezer, and Bosch dishwasher.
An oversized primary bedroom occupies the upper-level mezzanine, which is open to the living room below, offering generous proportions for a king-sized bed on one end and a separate seating area at the other. Three overhead skylights bring additional natural light into the space, creating a bright and airy setting. The second bedroom offers exceptional flexibility and can function as a guest bedroom, den, or home office. A custom-built ladder leads to a dedicated upper sleeping loft, complete with a peek-a-boo window. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated.
Additional highlights include ample closet space throughout, hardwood flooring, Serena by Lutron automated smart shades on all windows, integrated Philips Hue lighting in the kitchen and upper-level primary bedroom, and UV-protective window film to help protect furnishings and interior finishes from sun exposure.
Court Street Lofts is a distinctive 124-unit condominium housed within the former Doehler Die Casting Factory, a historic Brooklyn industrial building dating back to the early 20th century. Originally constructed for manufacturing, the property was converted into residential condominium ownership between 2005 and 2007. Today, the building retains much of its authentic industrial character, with loft-style residences distinguished by oversized windows, impressive ceiling heights, exposed concrete elements, and generously proportioned living spaces. Residents enjoy a full-service lifestyle with a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, landscaped private courtyard, and bicycle storage. Situated in Carroll Gardens the building is surrounded by neighborhood cafés, acclaimed restaurants, local boutiques, and the area's signature tree-lined streets. The F and G subway station is nearby, providing convenient access to Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn, and other Brooklyn neighborhoods. The vibrant dining and shopping corridors of Court Street and Smith Street, along with the neighboring communities of Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, and Gowanus, are all within easy reach.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The building at 505 Court Street has a concierge, an elevator, a gym, a courtyard, a garden, a bike room and storage, and this penthouse sits within it with 1,097 square feet across two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
The main room is the big draw. The ceilings are over 17 feet, which gives the living space a lot of volume and more room to arrange furniture, though height alone doesn't make a layout work. The oversized south-facing windows carry most of the light into the room. South windows can be very bright, but what you actually get depends on obstructions and the season. With an open horizon, a south-facing window gets about 8.5 hours of direct sun on the winter solstice, from about 7:41 AM to 4:07 PM, and about 10 hours at the equinoxes. Nearby buildings can block it.
The kitchen is tucked to one side and has a gas cooktop, a gas oven, a refrigerator and a Bosch dishwasher. The layout is open, so cooking and everyday living share the same space, which is worth weighing if you cook often. The primary bedroom sits on a mezzanine above the living room, and the second bedroom can work as a guest room, den or home office.
Hardwood floors and exposed concrete give the home its character. Smith-9 Sts station on the F and G is about 5 minutes on foot, and Prospect Market is about the same, so everyday errands stay close. Carroll Park is about 11 minutes away.
