194 Warren St - Cobble Hill, New York

On one of Cobble Hills most desirable blocks, this four-story, two unit brownstone has been lived in and lovingly maintained by the same family for over 40 years. It is one of eight row houses built together between 1853 and 1855. The parlor has the generous proportions of the late Federal era and the historic detail associated with the period is all intact. It is flooded with light from the floor to ceiling windows. French doors separate the front parlor from the formal dining room and a south facing kitchen extension, which in turn opens to a dining terrace with retractable awning overlooking a beautifully planted mature garden complete with azaleas and fruit bearing blueberry bushes.

The second floor is used as a master bedroom suite with a large central dressing area and private office or home work space in the rear (currently used as an artists studio) which opens to a south facing terrace. The top floor has three additional bedrooms as well as a skylit center room suitable for use as home office or playroom. The garden floor is currently a one bedroom apartment which can be delivered vacant.

All of the structural and mechanical systems have been carefully maintained and upgraded as necessary over the years. The fa ade, stoop and wrought-iron railings were all recently redone with care to replicate the detailing that is consistent with other townhouses on this lovely landmark block. Some of the other improvements include a new furnace, new skylights and new windows. All that remains is to add a personal signature to the bathrooms and kitchen to make this special house your new home.
