Property Description for 18 Cheever Place

Coveted block in Prime Cobble Hill offers a 4-story, brownstone / red federal brick townhome, with abundant curb appeal that derives from the quiet of a single-block-long enclave, discreetly embellished by mature trees and surrounding homes of varied architecture. Currently, garden floor vacant now and others imminent in coming months. MOTIVATED SELLER TO INCENTIVISE BUYERS AND BROKERS FOR DEAL MADE THIS MONTH. Your architect & designer may be commissioned to transform this near-"blank slate" into a 4-5 bedroom quadraplex for you & yours. Or perhaps, you will opt to keep this as an income-producing property, yielding a spacious owner duplex, plus floor- through apartments above. It's your call: 1-family; double-duplex; multiple family. No matter what, this home of 3300-plus square feet will delight you from the private yard at rear and the tiered front garden area. Beyond the square footage noted, you will have a cellar for storage or that wine collection you've been dreaming about. (170 square feet of F.A.R. can also give you an added extension or crow's nest.) This period home is lightly sprinkled with detail: tin ceilings; Italianate mouldings; mantels; varied window shapes and sizes; stairwell that curves gracefully amidst its wooden spindles. Floors are mixed woods and constructed. Tiled baths and kitchens have been modernized, so you need not fret about finding this home user-friendly, while you are awaiting the kick-off of a larger- scale renovation/restoration. A few blocks from the F-train, there's also the luxury of transit choices at the Borough Hall station. Bus service and bike lanes are ample in this friendly neighborhood. Schooling can't be beat, whether you opt for public or private. Street parking here is easier than throughout most of Cobble Hill. Nevertheless, you might look into a garage spot or two at some of the condo/co-op facilities within a few blocks of this residence. Neighborhood green space is delicious: Brooklyn Bridge Park and Cobble Hill Park beckon. And for shopping, dining, fitness & wellness, you have hit the jackpot: Barney's; Rag & Bone; Trader Joe's; Sahadi for eclectic foods; Staubitz butcher; Union Market; Lobo Mexican cafe; Buttermilk Channel for artisanal dining; Congress bar; Equinox; Yogaworks; Soul Cycle. Come see this townhouse this spring, and make opportunity knock for you!

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.
