Built from the ground up with a concrete structure and brick facade, the home was designed by architect Brendan Coburn of The Brooklyn Studio and constructed by Interior Alterations. The solid construction creates an exceptionally quiet and private environment, while three exposures bring natural light throughout the home. A dramatic double height wall of glass overlooks the garden and anchors the main living space.
The parlor floor features elegant living and dining rooms along with a music room overlooking Henry and Kane Streets. On the garden level, the chef's kitchen includes premium appliances, a walk-in windowed pantry, and Caesarstone countertops. The kitchen opens to the family room where soaring ceilings, a two-story wall of glass, and a gas fireplace create a striking yet comfortable gathering space.
The primary suite occupies an entire level with two custom walk-in closets and a beautifully designed spa bath. Above are three additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a laundry room, and extensive storage. The top floor offers flexibility as an additional bedroom or living space with a full bath and access to a private roof terrace with sweeping views of the New York City skyline.
The landscaped garden provides a tranquil outdoor retreat, while the rear carriage house includes a guest suite with kitchenette and full bath above a private garage.
Located moments from Court and Clinton Streets, the home sits in the heart of Cobble Hill surrounded by some of Brooklyn's best restaurants, cafés, and boutiques. With easy access to Manhattan, 435 Henry Street offers a rare combination of scale, privacy, and modern design in one of Brooklyn's most coveted neighborhoods.
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.
