CJ Hendry, the acclaimed artist known for her hyperrealistic drawings and co-creator of the popular NFT project Space Club, along with her husband Lewis Cook, have put their meticulously renovated Greenpoint townhouse on the market. The Brooklyn brownstone, described by the couple as “greige” — a sophisticated blend of gray and beige tones — is listed at $4.85 million. This sale highlights the ongoing appeal of North Brooklyn neighborhoods among creative professionals and affluent buyers seeking a blend of classic architecture and contemporary design.

The couple’s home has been transformed into a refined urban retreat, balancing modern minimalism with the historic charm that defines much of Greenpoint’s real estate inventory. Its listing comes at a time of heightened activity in Brooklyn’s residential market, where demand continues to outpace supply, particularly for well-appointed townhouses in prime locations.

Hendry’s profile as an artist and entrepreneur adds a unique cultural dimension to the property, attracting interest beyond typical residential buyers. Her success in the art world and the growing crossover between art and technology sectors, especially within New York City, reinforce the city’s reputation as a hub for innovation and creative investment. The pricing of the townhouse reflects both the neighborhood’s rising desirability and the premium placed on homes with distinctive design elements.

This transaction is emblematic of a broader trend where artists and creative entrepreneurs are shaping Brooklyn’s real estate landscape, blending lifestyle with investment. As Greenpoint continues to evolve, properties like Hendry and Cook’s home demonstrate the intersection of art, design, and real estate that is fueling Brooklyn’s market vitality. The sale will be closely watched by local brokers and buyers aiming to capitalize on the area’s momentum.
