As a landmark building, The Eagle Warehouse is a full service doorman building that dates back to the 1890s. Walt Whitman was an editor for the Brooklyn Eagle Newspaper when it is was housed in the warehouse. Townhouse G is one of the largest apartments in the building, boasting loft like living with soaring 14-foot ceilings in a 2,700-square-foot triplex space that is without question, impressive.
One could say it is a house within a building that has a doorman, a full service gym, bike storage and much more. The apartment can allow for 3-4 sleeping areas, a separate dining room, living room, den, office/studio/work space, and a cooks kitchen to die for. An ample island and counter space is there for a chef's spread. Townhouse G was previously owned by the renowned chef David Burke. The kitchen has quartz countertops with Bosch and Sub-Zero appliances. There are two newly renovated bathrooms, plus enormous walk in closets throughout the three levels.
