Description

Live or Invest! This Cobble Hill Grand Dame is the blank canvas that you have been waiting for. Built 25 wide by 55 deep on the first floor, and 25 x 45 on the upper floors, this house offers 5500 sq. ft. of living space to create the home of your dreams in Brooklyns most coveted neighborhood. Experience a loft-like living experience on the parlor floor with 14 ceilings and a grand staircase leading you upstairs. A wonderful garden also awaits your greenthumb. This Federal style brick townhouse is in need of a complete renovation, so please bring your architect and your contractor and explore the possibilities together. Stop spending money on other peoples taste and build the home that you have always wanted. Moments to every single subway line at Borough Hall, as well as Court and Smith Streets where the best amenities await your enjoyment. Brooklyn Bridge Park, Soul Cycle, Yogaworks, Equinox, Trader Joes, Barneys, Sahadis, and Colonie Restaurant, are just some of the treasures that await. This is a special opportunity for an enterprising buyer with design savvy to build a bigger and better house than any other home in the neighborhood, in the quiet and historic enclave of Cobble Hill, just a stones throw from the best that Brooklyn has to offer and only one subway stop from Manhattan. Delivered vacant.

Cobble Hill is a small, highly sought-after neighborhood known for its historic charm and walkable streetscape. The area is famous for its impeccably preserved 19th-century architecture and the busy shops and cafes along Court Street. The real estate market is dominated by beautiful brownstones and brick townhouses, alongside intimate boutique condominiums that offer modern luxury while respecting the neighborhood's low-rise, historic character.
