Spanning the entire second floor of one of a very few prewar condos in landmarked Cobble Hill, this exceedingly special three bedroom, two bathroom home is everything one hopes for when they imagine life in Brownstone Brooklyn. Exposed brick, a wood burning fireplace, gorgeous hardwood floors, a sparkling kitchen and beautifully renovated master bathroom, views of townhouse gardens awash in afternoon sunshine from three exposures, a stunning, quiet treelined block...it's all here, and then some.
Enter this 1450 square foot home to find a living room and dining area that is as practical as it is romantic. The extra-wide space is bathed in sunlight from its three Warren street-facing windows, and the space allows for multiple configuration options, each providing room for dedicated dining and living spaces. The centerpiece of the space is the wood-burning fireplace flanked by elegant whitewashed exposed brick, just beyond which is the lovely kitchen whose south-facing window illuminates the entire front of the home late in the day.
Follow the pristine hardwood floors down the winding hallway to find closet space-galore, an in-unit washer/dryer, along with the first two bedrooms and full bathroom. The master bedroom is at the end of the hall and has both western and southern exposures, a perfectly renovated windowed en suite master bathroom and views of townhouse gardens. The sense of solace and quiet in the rear of this home is so rare, you'll forget you're in New York.
240 Warren Street is an intimate 5-unit prewar CONDO with exceptionally low monthlies and a community vibe that is noticeably absent in all of Brooklyn's new developments. Shopping and restaurant options abound on Court Street, Smith Street and beyond, and the F/G trains are just a block and a half walk, while the 2/3/4/5/R trains are a mere 10 minute walk to Borough Hall. Pets, unfortunately, are not allowed.
This is a genuinely rare home in as highly sought-after a neighborhood and as wonderful a block as there is in all of New York City. Showings begin at the first open house on Sunday, November 10th.
