Property Description for 287 Sackett Street
The home of your dreams is finally available! This charming two-family brownstone is rich in historic detail, perfectly located between Court and Clinton streets, and offers the opportunity to own a four-story townhouse that offers an owner's triplex with four bedrooms and rental income, or take the entire home for yourself and indulge your desire for 5-6 bedrooms!
Already built out with an extension on the bottom two floors, with an elegant center staircase, this home lives much larger than you would imagine. The center staircase allows generous rooms on every floor with no sacrifices, and the already-built extension promises a gracious parlor floor for everyday living AND a rental income much greater than you would think. You must walk this home in person to truly understand its charms and scale. Situated just a few doors in from Court street, you will get to enjoy all the amenities of Court street and all the charm of Clinton Street, but feel miles away from the hustle and bustle of urban life. This leafy green block promises daily peace and quiet but with every amenity at your doorstep. Enjoy a menagerie of daily groceries from Union Market, plus artisanal butchers, bakers, greenmarkets, Michelin-rated restaurants, neighborhood cafes and cocktail bars, pilates, barre, yoga, and public and private schools in every direction. And don't miss Carroll Park and the F/G trains only one block away. This home is the complete package!
While this property is ready for its next owner to do some important upgrades, all the amazing original bones are still in place, and you can be assured that you will still enjoy the warmth of history while planning for a comfortable future. Original details abound and include perfectly preserved hardwood floors with mahogany inlay, high ceilings, oversized windows, decorative ironwork, original shutters, a stunning staircase with decorative newel post and banisters, plus crown, ceiling and base moldings. A generous stoop welcomes you home every day into a light-filled extra-deep parlor floor, perfect to accommodate a spacious chef's kitchen, formal dining, and a living room in the back that flows perfectly to the garden. The upper two floors easily accommodate four VERY generous bedrooms with tree-lined and garden views, two to three full bathrooms, and a capacious laundry area. Your primary suite can overlook the extension on the bottom two floors and affords the perfect terrace space for your morning coffee break. The garden level is large enough for either a money-making two-bedroom rental OR better yet, transform it into a spacious guest suite plus a family room right off the garden level. There is even a full cellar that offers great ceiling height, making it perfect for storage or even a home gym or recreation room for the entire family.
If you are not afraid of a little work, you literally CAN have it all. This wonderful property has never been stripped of its period details and offers light and space and a location that is truly unrivaled anywhere in brownstone Brooklyn. Delivered vacant and with all the details still intact, it awaits the visionary buyer that wants to create a custom home in THE best location that accommodates family, friends, and an enviable lifestyle for years to come. We can't wait to show you this property. The charm is immeasurable, and we know that you will feel the same way.

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.
