SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY | PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL TO BOOK A SHOWING Rarely does a home of such substance and style come to the market in Cobble Hill. Embrace the convenience and comfort of living in a 5500 SF fully renovated South-facing historic townhouse of the highest quality imaginable, located on a quiet tree-lined block between Smith and Court Streets, seconds from the subway, world class restaurants, schools, and incredible amenities in every direction. Renovated from top-to-bottom in 2016 in a Brooklyn vernacular combining the best of the old and new, this Federal-era brick townhouse offers grand living with rustic modern appointments throughout. Expanded in the back, and up, and opened up on every floor, it has the breadth and openness of a much wider home that needs to be experienced in person to believe. The result is a revelatory light-filled home with high ceilings on every single floor, 2 gas fireplaces with custom mantels, a mahogany staircase, custom millwork throughout, built-out closets, wide plank oak floors, a new brick faade with brownstone details, new windows, reclaimed wood entry doors, video intercom, Wi-Fi controlled thermostats, new joists and soundproofing, and a top-of the line hydronic heating and cooling system supplemented with radiant floor heating.Currently configured as a 2-family with an upper owners triplex, and a lower duplex apartment, this home is easily used as a grand 1-family, or an extremely comfortable 2-family with incredible rental potential (currently rented for $6400/month but delivered vacant). The upper triplex offers an extra deep loft-like parlor floor with garden and deck access, a powder room, and room for formal dining, living, and enjoying a true eat-in chefs kitchen. Handsome slate-blue custom cabinetry is juxtaposed with Quartz countertops, a dramatic soapstone island, Sub-Zero appliances, a radiant heated marble floor, and a huge walk-in pantry. The contiguous garden has been fully landscaped with Bluestone pavers and an IPE patio and includes beautiful trees and plantings.Head upstairs to four massive bedrooms (easily could be five), a real laundry room (with oversized vented washer/dryer), extra office space, three spa-like bathrooms, a deck-area off the third floor, and a truly surprising full staircase to a roof with dazzling Manhattan views. Designer bathrooms feature striking Turkish-marble floors, Lefroy Brooks and Watermark fixtures, and custom vanities and storage. The rental unit offers two bedrooms, a finished recreation room space, three full baths, and a designer kitchen on par with the owners triplex. No detail was spared in either unit, and with a fully finished basement with extra-high ceilings, half for the rental unit, and half for the upper triplex, the possibilities for adding a wine cellar, a home gym, a media room, or even increasing your rental income is just a matter of personal choice, no extra work required!This is a rare opportunity to possess the historic home of your dreams with every customized luxury already in place and every structural element brand-new (including plumbing and electric), but the warmth of a turn-of-the century brownstone, in a charming and low-rise neighborhood just a few short subway stops from Manhattan. Super low taxes of only $6266 per YEAR!
