Sculptor John Mosler has decided to put his impressive Brooklyn residence on the market, and it’s listed for a hefty $7.88 million, according to insider sources. Situated in the vibrant Carrol Gardens/Gowanus area, this townhouse spans an impressive 5,700 square feet and has served as a live/work studio for Mosler. The property has flexibly fulfilled multiple purposes, functioning as a high-tech home, an artist’s studio, a workshop, and an exhibition space.
The renowned Marvel Architects and Maum Design were responsible for the architectural design of this intriguing studio, which features a striking purple brick facade and an eye-catching pink door that contributes to its overall grand industrial warehouse aesthetic. Nestled at 47 Fourth St., the interiors boast a modern and sleek appearance, incorporating elements of the neighborhood’s rich industrial history.
Mosler’s journey was featured in a 2015 profile by The New York Times, revealing how he left his demanding job on Wall Street to pursue his true passion for art. He strategically transitioned to less time-consuming, high-level finance positions, allowing him to save millions of dollars and ultimately build and operate his own studio and gallery. This shift in focus enabled him to create art on his own terms for the rest of his life.
This live-in/work studio proudly showcases its purple brick facade and pink doors, adding a distinctive touch to its overall appeal. The Corcoran Group kindly shared images of the studio’s open floor plan, which is characterized by its high ceilings and ample natural light. The property features sliding doors that seamlessly merge the indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for entertaining al fresco.
Dubbed as “Number 47” after its address, Mosler joined forces with his wife, Jean Won Mosler, owner of Maum Design, to transform the space into a functional and inspiring environment where he could work, live, and showcase his art all under one roof. The ground floor encompasses a generous 90 feet of space with soaring 17-foot ceilings, creating an open and versatile layout. A striking 30-foot glass atrium acts as the heart of the building, offering a hidden oasis that connects the two warehouses seamlessly.
One side of the property houses a captivating gallery, as well as an entertainment and living space complete with a 12-foot glass folding wall, a 6-foot linear gas fireplace, and an office/guest room. The art studio itself is a sight to behold, with its own unique charm. The kitchen exudes style and elegance, offering a picturesque view of the atrium. Additional features of this remarkable property include an office space, a primary suite with a terrace on the upper penthouse level, and a state-of-the-art studio, workshop, and gallery on the other side. The latter boasts expansive skylights, exposed wood beams, a mezzanine, a full bathroom, radiant heat, and a remote-controlled garage car door with an added security gate.
To top it all off, the property even includes a garage and an indoor basketball court, making it a true haven for art and sports enthusiasts alike. It comes as no surprise that the listing has generated significant buzz in the real estate market, with many considering it to be one of the most unique offerings in New York City. The listing agents, Danny Davis at Corcoran and Matthew Lesser of Leslie J. Garfield, are excited to present this turnkey property to potential buyers, highlighting the opportunity for residential and mixed-use expansion given the property’s vast 13,500 to 16,200 square footage.
