Property Description for 17 Dikeman Street

The offering at 17 Dikeman Street includes a 25 ft. wide, 2-bedroom (in it's current configuration), 2-bathroom single-family townhome with multiple outdoor spaces and a garage/studio plus the adjoining lot at 40 Otsego Street, which presents the opportunity to build an additional ~4,500 square feet of commercial studio space plus parking. Home to world-renowned curators and artists for the last decade, the Carriage House at 17 Dikeman Street is a discrete jewelbox and a classic Red Hook offering. Enter into the well-appointed foyer and be guided to the open living and dining spaces. Framed by southeast facing floor-to-ceiling retractable windows, the warmer seasons present the opportunity for sought-after indoor-to-outdoor living. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room inside, adjacent to which room enough for an eight-person dining table creates the perfect entertaining space. An open view of the 34' deep garden and pops of lovely Wisteria reinforce the magical feel of the space at large. The kitchen is replete with nearly 19' of counter and storage space plus high-end integrated appliances. A guest bathroom and a home studio or single-car garage are also located on this level. Upstairs, natural light flows down through two massive skylights negating any need for sub-natural light during the daytime. Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and could potentially be reconfigured to include a third bedroom if necessary. They each enjoy access to an abundance of cedar-lined closet space. The full bathroom on this level, with a skylight overhead, offers top-end fixtures, a deep soaking tub and a walk-in shower. A second stairwell leads to the roof, where the opportunity to easily add a roof deck exists. Central heating and cooling and an in-unit washer/dryer complete the home. Also included in the offering is an adjoined undeveloped lot at 40 Otsego Street. Consult with your architect to determine zoning specificities and building opportunities. Tucked away on a quiet Red Hook block, the properties at 17 Dikeman Street and 40 Otsego Street enjoy close proximity to Coffey Park, Red Hook Park, the Red Hook waterfront and the many wonderful shops and experiences on Van Brunt.

Red Hook | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Filled with quaint charm and picturesque views, Red Hook is a haven for those seeking a laid-back vibe. The community has weathered many storms both figurative and literal since its settlement in 1836 by Dutch colonists. From being one of the most bustling freight ports in the world in the 1920s to being named one of the worst neighborhoods in America for its crack epidemic in the 1990s, Red Hook has gone through many evolutions to become the dynamic neighborhood it is today. 

Rich with creativity, the area is home to many artists specializing in an array of crafts, ranging from furniture design to glassblowing to woodworking. With many art galleries and moderately priced studios and lofts, the neighborhood is teeming with talent attracted by the energy and live/work space concept. 

The overall sense of being among a close-knit community is further spurred on by annual events such as the Red Hook Waterfront Arts Festival, as well as a reading series co-hosted by BookCourt once a month at neighborhood staple Sunny’s Bar. The changing shape and infrastructure of Red Hook was thrown for a loop in 2012, with the damaging effects of Hurricane Sandy that left many buildings and businesses in need of repair during resulting closures. 

Since its post-Sandy revitalization, the neighborhood has continued to attract many visitors to its unique and eclectic ambience, with ferries from Pier 11 in Manhattan to IKEA that operate daily.
