PRIME COBBLE HILL TOWNHOUSE WITH A GARAGE This distinctive 1850 Greek Revival with Italianate detail restored to a high standard with fine materials, exquisite fixtures and thoughtful design is 22 feet wide on a 100-foot lot with a 2-story extension in a prime Cobble Hill Historic District location. North, south and west exposures deliver glorious light year-round and lush seasonal green views. The location is quiet and tranquil and the views and outdoor spaces provide a country in the city feel. With high ceilings throughout, the desirable layout starts with an open parlor floor and a large luxe cook's kitchen in the extension, a primary suite with huge terrace, dressing room, spa bath and laundry room and a top floor with 3 bedrooms and a bath. Lived in as a luxurious single family, the garden floor is enjoyed now as a space in which to spread out but could be a separate apartment or guest area with one or two bedrooms, living room, galley kitchen and separate laundry. This is the epitome of serene Brooklyn townhouse living, with two wood-burning fireplaces and one gas fireplace, custom millwork, cabinetry and closets throughout, and a full dry cellar with massive storage space. Every inch of this renovated 3800 sf home is well-planned, useable space, 50 feet deep on the garden and parlor level and 36' deep on the two upper bedroom floors. Square footage does not include cellar or garage. Added after the home was purchased in 2019, the garage accommodates a mid-size SUV and is ready for a charging station. The curb cut in front of the garage is available for all but 90 minutes a week to allow for street sweeping. A few of the many details of the years-long Interior Alterations total renovation, a value equivalent to $1,800 psf, include restoration of the original staircase, wide board floors, marble fireplace surrounds, a high-quality brownstone facade and stoop, custom Loewen windows, multi-zoned central heating and air-conditioning, smart home technology, radiant floor heat in several areas. Garden and deck plantings have expert irrigation systems. This special townhouse must be seen to be appreciated. In addition to a deed, all you will need are a set of keys to move right in.
