Property Description for 200 Congress Street, 2-F

Even in the quiet neighborhood of Cobble Hill, the tranquility of Congress Gardens stands out. Inside #2F, you will find that this corner one-bedroom faces both south and east for stunning sunlight and treetop views. Both the large living room and king-sized bedroom are pin-drop quiet as they look over the charming carriage houses of Verandah Place, a 19th Century mews with no through traffic. Both rooms feature ceiling fans and recently stained wood floors, and the living room includes a natural dining area. The renovated kitchen features a breakfast bar with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances including dishwasher. With four closets (two of which have custom California Closet organizers), storage is abundant, and additional storage is available in the basement. Outside, the coop is comprised of three brick buildings set in an impeccably maintained garden surrounded by a wrought iron fence. The buildings feature elevators, laundry, bicycle storage, a live-in super, and parking (with a waitlist). The coop is pet-friendly and permits pied-a-terres, co-purchasing and parents buying for children. Located within the Cobble Hill Historic District, 200 Congress lies across the street from Cobble Hill Park and is surrounded by some of the finest brownstone blocks in Brooklyn. While Congress itself is quiet, you are just around the corner from the commercial hubs of Court Street and Atlantic Avenue, which include Trader Joe’s, Barneys Co-Op, Sahadis, as well as local restaurant favorites like La Vara, Long Island Bar, Henry Public, Elsa, and Colonie. With all this at your doorstep, you may never want to leave the neighborhood. But if you must, Citibike is at the gate, the F,G at Bergen Street are seconds away, and the 2/3/4/5/6 at Borough Hall A,C at Jay Street and R at Court Street are a few minutes further. Call today and call Cobble Hill home.

Cobble Hill | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

The neighborhood now known as Cobble Hill was originally settled by Dutch farmers in the mid-1600s. Tucked along the East River, in the heart of Brooklyn, Cobble Hill is known for its welcoming, leafy streets, independent mom-and-pop shops, and 19th century brownstones.

Most of Cobble Hill lies within an historic landmark district, and building heights are restricted to 50 feet, which helps maintain its 19th century atmosphere. Building owners will often split the use of their four- or five-story buildings, occupying several of the top floors and renting out the ground floor as apartments or, conversely, occupying one or more of the lower floors and renting out the top floors. New construction and alterations to existing buildings in the historic district require approval by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, which helps maintain the historic character of the Cobble Hill neighborhood.

Although most housing in Cobble Hill consists of traditional brownstones and brick townhouses,, you will also find churches that have been converted to condos, carriage houses that have become luxury apartments and Victorian school houses that have been converted into lofts.

Court Street and Atlantic Avenue are the main commercial streets in the neighborhood. You will find popular Middle Eastern restaurants on Atlantic Avenue. Court Street is home to casual restaurants, many with outdoor seating, relaxed cafes and hip bars.

Many young professionals and families live in the brownstones, townhouses, and single-family homes that line the leafy streets. Cobble Hill is a great place to live if you work on Wall Street, as you can walk over the Brooklyn Bridge to work.
