Property Description for 200 Congress Street, 2-A

Estate sale, priced to fly! THE UNIT: This bright corner one-bed, one-bath unit features one to two windows in every room and is priced to move. Your bedroom overlooks Cobble Hill Park across the street and the adjacent historic district. Your foyer doubles as a dining area. The windowed galley kitchen is a step saver, letting you effortlessly pivot to prep your meals, ceding space to other rooms where it is better used, for a grander, more sumptuous feel throughout the home. Host a book club or movie night in your 17’ wide living room (as wide as some townhouses). The interior hallway corridor provides a buffer between your bedroom sanctuary and the party room and is ideal for displaying 7 linear feet of artwork. The sweet spot in the foyer gives you a sightline through the hallway and bedroom to the west-facing window on Hicks Street. This estate sale unit is remarkably well preserved, freshly painted, and ready to move in as-is. Or personalize it with the cosmetic upgrades you deem necessary. Virtually staged to kickstart your mood board. THE BUILDING: This well-staffed elevator building features a live-in super and dedicated on-site porters. With landscaped grounds, Congress Gardens lives up to its name. Robust financials complement the curb appeal. Storage solutions include basement cages, bike and garage parking (fee and waitlist). Common elements include central laundry and backyard patio. Accommodative policies allow gifting, pied-a-terres, and parents purchasing for children. Subletting after two years case by case with board approval. Pet friendly. THE NABE: Stock your larders at Sahadi’s, Staubitz, Trader Joe's and Union Market. Don’t feel like cooking? Dine at nearby Dellapietras, Bar Tabac, La Vara, Long Island Bar, Joya, Henry Public, Chez Moi and Colonie. Local Subways: F/G/2/3/4/5/R/A/C. Or mix up your commute: Citibike (31 docks) across the street. Ferry service at nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park (ice cream and 85 acres of green space).

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.
