Why You’ll Love It…
One of the most impressive things about this home is the sheer amount of windows it has throughout, which in total face three different directions. Two windows in the living room face west toward Manhattan, while a large bay window faces north to the leafy street. This bay window also offers a large sill, perfect for plants or other items you want to show off.
Throughout the unit, you’ll find white oak hardwood floors and exposed brick for a timeless look. Many aspects of the unit have been renovated, including the kitchen, which features a full-size fridge, oven, and dishwasher! There’s also a mounted microwave, lots of white cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and Caesarstone countertops. The custom-built table featured in the listing photos also comes with the unit, and can be used as a kitchen island or a dining table (or both!).
Like the living room, the bedroom has three windows facing two different directions, though in this room they face north and east. There’s more than enough space in this room for a home office setup in addition to a bed. Plus, two double-door closets provide ample storage space. The bathroom is also windowed, and includes a soaking tub with a glass door and rainfall showerhead. The stacked washer and dryer is tucked away in a closet just outside the bathroom.
The unit is part of a nine-building co-op that includes two private gardens exclusive to residents, as well as bike storage and a communal laundry room. Transit options abound with the F, G, R, 2, 3, 4, and 5 trains within half a mile, in addition to the Atlantic Avenue ferry terminal with service to Governor’s Island, Wall Street, and the Lower East Side. Brooklyn Bridge Park and Cobble Hill Park are both nearby, as well as Cobble Hill Cinemas, Trader Joe’s, and eateries like Lemongrass Brooklyn and Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain.
…And Why You Might Not
The building doesn’t have an elevator and is located next to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, meaning it might get noisy at times. But never fear — the surrounding area is full of the brownstones and tree-lined streets the neighborhood is known for. So if you’re looking to buy in Cobble Hill, be sure to shortlist this one!
