Presenting a rare and extraordinary opportunity to own the last remaining townhouse property on the coveted Columbia Street Waterfront-featuring unrivaled views spanning from the Statue of Liberty to Midtown Manhattan.

Set on a nearly 21-foot-wide lot, this building offers a blank canvas for a discerning investor, developer, or end-user to design a bespoke waterfront masterpiece in the heart of Prime Brownstone Brooklyn. The property is being offered vacant and as-is for $4.5m, with an option for delivery fully built (price dependent on configuration).

Currently configured at approximately 2,400 square feet, the structure boasts zoning potential for up to 4,800 square feet, making this a great opportunity to create your dream mansion on the waterfront.

Exceptional Location: Nestled on Columbia Street between Kane and Degraw, the property enjoys direct city and harbor views, and sits in the most desirable block of the Columbia Street Waterfront District-an enclave on the western edge of Cobble Hill- the hottest neighborhood in Brooklyn.

Enjoy proximity to local favorites like Alma, Laurel Bakery, Popina, and the world-renowned Lucali, as well as easy access to Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Carroll Street F train-all just moments away.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime offering to craft a waterfront home of rare character and pedigree in one of Brooklyn's most dynamic and charming neighborhoods.
