Property Description for 136 Kane Street
Rare opportunity to remake this vast Cobble Hill townhouse WITH PARKING into the home of your dreams.
136 Kane Street is a Landmark corner townhouse built 25' wide x 40' deep on a huge 27.5' wide lot that is 100' deep. And - it has a Legal Curb Cut and PARKING SPACE on the property. It is flooded with light from 3 exposures offering many options to reconfigure to your needs. The home is now set
up as a double duplex. The lower unit is vacant, and the upper unit is under lease until July 2024.
This unique property offers an exceptional opportunity to expand and upgrade this home in any manner you may need. A current Architectural Review suggests that a Carriage House with parking and guest quarters could be added at the back of the lot, a 2 story extension could be added to the rear of the home, and the window plan along Cheever Place could be revised to bring in even more Western light. The Architectural Review also suggests that it may be possible to build
a deck on the roof to take in sweeping views of the skyline and harbor. It's an amazing opportunity.
Please contact the Listing Agent for access to the Architectural Review.
The building is in very sound condition, and is built on brick arches in the cellar to lend another 150+ years of stability. The cellar is excavated to a
comfortable height for a huge gym/media room. The large vault under the sidewalk will be perfect for your wine cellar. And there is plenty of dry cellar space left over for all the storage you would ever need.
The home is in an ideal location to put down your roots and build your forever home. Cobble Hill is one of the most sought out
locations in brownstone Brooklyn with a significant Landmark District stretching from Atlantic Avenue to DeGraw Street. This assures the continuity of the
lovely brownstone streetscapes. Also nearby are the lovely Verandah Park, and the world class Brooklyn Bridge Park. There is great shopping dining and shopping on Atlantic Ave and Court Street plus easy access to the amenities of Brooklyn Heights and Carroll Gardens. There are many school alternatives in the
area, and the local elementary school is visible from your stoop!
Visit soon for the opportunity of a lifetime!

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.
