Cobble Hill Real Estate: Five-Bedroom Home Built In 1901 For $2.5 Million

COBBLE HILL, BROOKLYN — The perfect mix of old and new, this well-proportioned brick home, located at the intersection of Boerum Hill and Carroll Gardens, offers an inexpensive entry into townhouse living in one of Brooklyn's most charming and convenient neighborhoods.

Currently used as a three-family home, it can easily be converted into a one or two-family home, allowing the smart buyer the opportunity to live comfortably and collect a nice rent. The top two floor apartments could easily be converted into a sunny owner's duplex, and the lower level could remain as a rental.

Ground floor access to clean and dry basement which has washer and dryer. A huge backyard offers a garden paradise for the enterprising green thumb. Rustic and charming pre-war details include exposed brick, multiple decorative limestone fireplaces, beautiful hardwood floors, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

All of this and just 1.5 blocks from Smith and Court Streets, as well as easy subway access. Completely updated in 2004, the building has a new roof, a new boiler, updated electric and plumbing, and recently re-pointed facade.
