Grand Dame nestled on a coveted block on the Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens border, this stately townhouse provides classic brownstone charm and modern luxury.

With a lot size of 28' x 100' and a building size of 25' x 38' with a 19' extension on three floors, this residence is a rare find. The original horse's walk is still intact!

Designed by Baxt Ingui Architects, this townhouse seamlessly blends timeless elegance with contemporary comforts. The spacious layout spans two units, each a duplex plus a finished basement for the owner's unit, offering a total of seven bedrooms, two home offices, and an array of versatile spaces to suit your needs. This beauty features amenities such as central air conditioning and radiant heated floors for year-round comfort. Each unit offers private outdoor space and a vented washer/dryer, adding convenience to your daily routine.

The current owner's duplex boasts three bedrooms, a home office, two full baths and a powder room on the parlor floor, as well as a game room in the cellar, creating a perfect space for entertainment and relaxation. Outside, you'll find a serene garden oasis accessible via a sliding glass wall in the rear parlor as well as from the bedrooms downstairs, providing a tranquil escape from the city's hustle and bustle. The deck off the parlor is beautifully suited to alfresco dining. The upper duplex offers four bedrooms, a home office, a central playroom/library and a large terrace off the living area making it an ideal rental (can easily fetch $12,500 or more per month). The top floor has 11'6" high ceilings and is flooded with light.

For those seeking flexibility, this townhouse can be used to live and collect rental income, or can be seamlessly combined into a grand 25-foot wide single-family residence. Notably, there are no load-bearing walls on the parlor floor, allowing for loft-like living and customization to your liking.

Perfectly situated close to neighborhood favorites, such as Poppy's, La Vara, Fish Tails, and Cobble Hill Cinema, this home offers a lifestyle enriched by culinary delights and cultural experiences. Local grocers, charming boutiques, and cozy bars are just moments away, making it easy to enjoy the vibrant Cobble Hill-Carroll Gardens neighborhoods.

For your daily commute or leisurely explorations, the Bergen F/G trains (accessible via Warren Street) are conveniently nearby. Cyclists will appreciate the proximity to CitiBike stations just two blocks away, as well as easy access to the Brooklyn Greenway Bike Path. Outdoor enthusiasts can relish in the nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park, providing endless opportunities for recreation along the East River. This Greek Revival townhouse not only offers luxurious living but also immerses you in the vibrant culture and amenities of this coveted neighborhood and offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the best of city living right at your doorstep.
