Description

Welcome to the iconic Cobble Hill Towers! This condo with two-bedrooms plus windowed office is full of old school charm and modern convenience. Unique among these homes this one was renovated throughout for modern functionality with the visceral honesty of traditional materials and construction.

Upon entry the home exudes warmth and sanctuary... illuminated by sunny southern exposures through oversized windows, tempered by the exterior breezeway corridor.

The floor-through unit enjoys an open floor plan that maximizes the living space for modern living across the kitchen, dining and living areas. The kitchen has extensive counter space and additional storage below the bar peninsula, and stainless-steel appliances including the dishwasher. The renovated bathroom vibes prewar industrial with white subway tiles and black floor tiles paired with reclaimed stained wood.

The laundry closet on the hall houses stacked Bosch washer and dryer. Both bedrooms and converted windowed office (used as flex 3rd bedroom) overlook the lush, landscaped courtyard through the oversized windows facing north.

The lovely courtyard garden is well-equipped with seating areas and barbecue grills, and there is plenty of space for playing and lounging, and bicycle storage. Originally built in 1879, Cobble Hill Towers is comprised of nine architecturally unique 6-story buildings facing Warren, Hicks and Baltic Streets.

The buildings surround two large private courtyards for the exclusive use of residents and their guests. These buildings were among the first progressive developments in modern and healthier housing, as an affordable complex that gave urban workers in late 19th C. a measure of space, light, fresh air, and security.

Cobble Hill Towers is conveniently located near great eats and shops on Smith & Court Streets and Atlantic Ave, and F/G/2/3/4/5/R trains. Several playgrounds are nearby, including PS 29, Cobble Hill Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and Pier 6 with ferry to Governors Island.

No board approval, and pets are allowed.
