Calling all artists and buyers looking to live a creative lifestyle! Once in a lifetime opportunity to own your very own 41.5" wide secret hideaway WITH PARKING at the perfect intersection of historic Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill.

This special property has unlimited potential to either use as-is, or add an additional 6100 SF, depending on your needs. Currently configured with a charming 3-bedroom carriage house in back, an attached art studio with 14" ceilings in front, parking for multiple cars, and a secret courtyard garden that is visible from literally every room in both buildings. You have truly never seen anything quite like this and need to experience it in person to understand the unique feeling of having an urban getaway where the only sounds you will hear are the birds chirping, and the only thing you will see out your windows are trees, perennial plantings, rosebushes, and a perfectly aged bluestone patio.

The aged brick facade of both structures evokes a European villa, and when you enter, plan to be amazed by luminescent spaces bathed in light from a multitude of skylights and framed by massive timber beams that bring a timeless feel to all of the rooms. Enter from either the street-facing art studio, or through a gated front yard into the back carriage house with a large and picturesque parking area in front dripping in years" old vines and greenery. The front studio is a working art space with voluminous dimensions and its own private entrance, making it the perfect work-from-home space, music or art studio, or you can even incorporate it back into the carriage house for additional living space. Bounded by soaring ceilings with five skylights, it also features a powder room, laundry area, durable concrete floors, and great storage. A set of hand-made oversized barn doors leads you back into the secluded garden through which you can easily enter the back carriage house. The addition of one simple interior door easily connects both structures without having to go outside.

The carriage house lives like a country cottage that you will never want to leave. Defined by a central loft-like living room and kitchen with a mammoth skylight, a split layout offers privacy with one bedroom on the left and two larger bedrooms to the right. Spanish-style architectural elements throughout lend a rustic charm and include hand-carved doors, stained glass windows, terracotta backsplash and bathroom tiles, and distinctive exposed wood beams in the ceiling similar to those in the art studio space. The magical feeling you experience when you are inside the walls of this property is immeasurable, coupled with an unrivaled privacy and connection to nature.

Enjoy approximately 2200 SF of interior space already built-out for you to enjoy right away, plus a fully established garden that runs from the front to the back of the lot, offering greenspace galore and parking for multiple cars. The icing on the cake is the fact that this lot allows for a total of 8300 SF to be built, so if you need to build up or out, the FAR will allow for an additional 6100 SF, a true unicorn in brownstone Brooklyn. And while this is a picturesque historic block, it is NOT landmarked, giving the intrepid buyer an opportunity to maximize the benefits of a 41.5" wide lot with a buildable height of up to 50" high to realize their dreams. The opportunities are endless! Add up to three stories to the existing structure, or build wider. The choice is yours.

And all of this space, privacy, charm, greenspace and parking is just a stone's throw from the best amenities that brownstone Brooklyn has to offer. Enjoy a plethora of restaurants, boutiques, artisanal shops and grocers, and transportation options right outside your door on Smith Street, Court Street and Atlantic Ave. Manhattan is one subway stop away, not to mention schools, pocket parks, and Brooklyn Bridge Park just minutes from your doorstep. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not to be missed. Showings by appointment only.
