Property Description for 404 Van Brunt Street

Rare opportunity to build the home of your dreams on everyone's favorite block in Red Hook! This unique 25' wide lot is situated at the corner of Van Brunt and picturesque Coffey Street, offering the lucky buyer or developer the opportunity to build a custom home with three exposures, a private garage, and multiple outdoor spaces including a roofdeck with views. Come home to Brooklyn's best kept secret, a creative waterfront community just a stone's throw from Manhattan, and yet a world away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

This unique corner offers the charm of a cobblestone street, amazing light in a low-rise neighborhood, and convenience to all of the best offerings for which the neighborhood has become so beloved including Red Hook Tavern, Pioneer Works, Baked, Fort Defiance, the Crab Shack, and Basis School, to name just a few. The B61 bus is outside your door, as is Valentino Pier Park for daily dog walks, and a host of artists' studios just a stone's throw away at the end of Van Brunt Street.

The special zoning for this lot offers the discerning buyer an opportunity to build a residential property with a commercial overlay that includes the possibility of a storefront or community space facing Van Brunt Street, and a personal residence above. Given the breadth of the 25' wide lot, a creative buyer can realize the dream of an extra-wide townhouse with a private GARAGE and an office/gallery/art studio/non-profit/ on the ground floor, plus a customized personal residence above. The low-rise nature of Red Hook promises fresh air and great views from whatever private outdoor space you can imagine including a roofdeck, terraces, and gardens. This charming neighborhood is undergoing a daily renovation Renaissance of both boutique condominiums and private homes. It is exactly the place you want to be when you build your new residence in Brooklyn. It's even more perfect for the buyer that wants to build a custom home that includes the energy efficient benefits of Solar Panels or a Passive design made even better by a neighborhood flooded in natural light.

Bring both your architect and your passion for design and good living and swing by for a look at Red Hook's most desirable corner! Under the current zoning, you can build up to approx. 5500 SF including a space for your car. Call for more details.

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.
