For the first time, Williamsburg’s ‘House on a Roof’ hits the market for $3M

May 11, 2018

Offered by the original owners, this truly one-of-a-kind penthouse atop Williamsburg’s Mill Building has been dubbed the “House on the Roof,” but it could easily be mistaken as a luxurious mountaintop chalet. The red-roofed two-bedroom penthouse is wrapped in glass that opens to a massive rooftop terrace complete with a full kitchen setup. And it’s now asking $2.85 million.

The open layout is currently designed as a two-bedroom with a large living area, dining room and state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen, but it could easily be changed to be more loft-like with one bedroom and additional open space.

House on the Roof, 85 North 3rd Street, Mill Building

The dramatic great room opens directly onto a massive south- and west-facing deck with a folding wall of glass. The almost 1,500-square foot-outdoor space has a brand new fully equipped outdoor kitchen and grill, large elevated dining area, and a lounge area.

A large underground parking space with an elevator to your private floor is available to buy with the unit. The Mill building has a 24-hour doorman and offers convenient access to stores like Whole Foods, the Apple Store, and a soon-to-open Trader Joe’s.

Perfume Heiress Pauline Rochas Lists Trés Chic Williambsburg Loft for $2.6M

By Michelle Cohen

Perfume and fashion heiress Pauline Rochas and partner Carole Beaupré, the impossibly chic and creative photographer couple who currently own this 2,082-square-foot, one-bedroom-plus-office in Williamsburg’s Mill Building at 85 North Third Street, have listed the fashionably renovated loft for $2.585 million. Ms. Rochas is the granddaughter of the late Hélène Rochas, stylish socialite, perfumer and wife of couturier Marcel Rochas; she and Ms. Beaupré run a photography studio, Coolife, that specializes in shooting still-life beauty images for brands like Chanel and Ralph Lauren, and collaborated on a line of perfumes (h/t LLNYC). The pair purchased the home for $940,000 in 2007 and have since elevated it to a level of polished north Brooklyn cool befitting their lifestyle as well as their neighborhood.
