Property Description for 401 Hicks Street, B-1F

Enter this expansive 2-bedroom (CURRENTLY CONFIGURED AS A 2BR BUT EASILY CONVERTS TO A 3BR. SEE FLOOR PLAN!) ) 3-bathroom duplex oasis through your front door off the beautifully landscaped courtyard. Feeling more like a townhouse than condo, this maisonette is located within The Arches at Cobble Hill, formerly St. Peter's Church and Academy, built in 1858 and converted into luxury condos in 2005.
Superior finishes abound throughout the serene home, where every inch has been thoughtfully considered and no detail has been overlooked, including oversized windows, custom lighting, dual-zoned central heat and A/C, hardwood floors, and a W/D in its own walk-in closet.
Enjoy meals in your spacious cook's kitchen—featuring granite countertops, Wolf, Bosch and LG stainless appliances—or dine al fresco on your private patio just off the kitchen. Delight in views of the meticulously landscaped courtyard from numerous south-facing windows. Upstairs within the expansive master suite, the luxurious bathroom beckons with limestone tiling, a Zuma soaking tub, separate glass shower, double sinks, and Kohler fixtures. An oversized second bedroom and additional full bath complete the private quarters.
The building, with live-in super and full-time porter, is minutes from the shopping and dining scenes on Henry, Smith and Court Streets and Atlantic Avenue. Also close: the recreation of Brooklyn Bridge, Van Voorhees, and Cobble Hill Parks. The Arches is pet-friendly, zoned for P.S. 29 and accessed by the F/G, 2/3, 4/5 and R trains.
A crown jewel of The Arches, this nearly 1900 square foot condo is one of the largest, most unique 2BR homes currently on the market in Cobble Hill and simply must be seen to be fully appreciated.

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.
