Residence 3A at The Standish is an elegantly appointed 856 SF one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home within one of Brooklyns most sought-after and recognizable boutique condominium buildings.

Defined by elevated ceilings and a striking bay window, the living space is filled with natural light and offers a sense of volume and quiet sophistication. The layout is both gracious and efficient, designed for comfortable everyday living while maintaining a polished aesthetic throughout.

The open chefs kitchen is beautifully finished with Italian Carrara marble countertops and a sculptural center island, complemented by custom-designed cabinetry. A suite of premium Bertazzoni and Bosch appliances is paired with natural brass Fantini fixtures, creating a warm, understated palette of materials.

The primary bath is designed as a spa-like retreat, featuring a rain shower, natural brass fixtures, and a curated mix of travertine and mosaic tile. A well-placed powder room adds both convenience and a level of refinement rarely found in homes of this size. Wide-plank Austrian white oak flooring runs throughout, anchoring the interiors with a timeless finish.

Originally conceived as a boutique collection of just 28 residences, The Standish has quickly established itself as a standout address in Brooklyn Heights, known for its scale, design, and level of service. Residents enjoy a full-service lifestyle with 24-hour doorman and concierge, a fitness studio, playroom, and a beautifully landscaped rooftop terrace with sweeping harbor views.

Set in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, this is a home that quietly delivers both character and modern luxury.
