Property Description for 453 Henry Street
453 Henry Street is a stunning, mint condition townhouse nestled in the heart of Cobble Hill. This beautiful home is currently configured as an owner's triplex and a garden level apartment, but can easily be converted to a single family home.
Set mid block on a beautiful tree-lined street, 453 Henry Street was gut renovated in 2016, with new mechanical systems, plumbing, electric, refacing the rear brick facade, excavating the cellar and a new roof.
Behind the grand stoop is a lovely, open floor plan parlor with gracious ceiling heights. The inviting front living area with gorgeous original marble mantel flows seamlessly into the dining and kitchen areas, essential for today’s modern living. The large chef's kitchen is outfitted with custom floor to ceiling cabinetry and beautiful Calacatta Gold marble counters and backsplashes. Appliances include a 5-burner Wolf cooktop, Wolf double wall oven and steam oven, and SubZero refrigerator. A powder room is also conveniently located on this level.
An inviting deck and serene garden is accessed from the kitchen through enormous floor-to-ceiling glass doors. The private back garden has planted beds and majestic White Birch trees, creating a tranquil outdoor space for al fresco dining and relaxation.
The second floor features two secondary bedrooms with a shared bath and full size laundry. The luxurious primary suite occupies the entire top floor. The bedroom sits in the rear and overlooks the garden below. An enormous walk-in closet and dressing room leads to a stunning ensuite bath that spans the full width of the house, with double windows, gorgeous mosaic herringbone tiled walk-in shower, and separate soaking tub.
The garden floor apartment is ideal for use as an income-producing rental, live in nanny quarters or guest/in-law suite, or can be incorporated into the home. This one bedroom unit offers a full bathroom with laundry and a bright open-concept living and kitchen area, with separate street level access and access to the rear yard.
This is Cobble Hill townhouse living at its best - a rare, turnkey brownstone on one of the neighborhood's most beloved blocks, moments from subway lines at Bergen Street, restaurants, cafes and the incredible waterfront at Brooklyn Bridge Park.

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.
