Property Description for 120 Congress Street
Instant Gratification
This 25-foot-wide brick townhouse is set on beautiful and landmarked Congress Street in prestigious Cobble Hill. Close to fabulous restaurants, shopping, and parks, this home is convenient to both Manhattan and other parts of Brooklyn. Only three years old, this house combines the best of old and new: the facade is in keeping with the 19th century houses that surround it, but inside there are all of the conveniences of new plumbing, wiring, insulation, soundproofing, central AC and modern heating. Oversized casement windows allow light to stream into each room of the house. There are four outdoor spaces to utilize: a deck off the kitchen, a patio off the family room, and two terraces on the top floor, one intimate for a glass of wine, and another with spectacular views of the Harbor and Lower Manhattan. The eat-in kitchen has custom Italian cabinetry, top appliances, and Calcatta counters. The baths are finished in elegant and neutral stone and tile. The modern construction allows for versatility in the floor plan not found in many townhouses. One can have an abundance of large public spaces, or as many as six proper bedrooms. Why spend years involved in a stressful and expensive renovation when you can move right into a 25-foot-wide house built to exacting standards and in excellent taste? 120 Congress Street offers both instant gratification and a home for many generations.

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.
