Description

It is a rare occurrence for homes to become available on the most coveted block in Red Hook. Even more uncommon is the opportunity to acquire one of the five distinguished 17-foot-wide residences on the south side of Coffey Street, nestled between Conover and Ferris. These homes boast expansive backyards and offer breathtaking views to the south, overlooking the majestic Upper Bay of New York Harbor. Among these treasures, 159 Coffey stands as the first to grace the market in over a decade. Currently configured as a beautiful proportioned duplex with multiple outdoor spaces complemented by a charming one-bedroom garden rental that exudes an almost tropical ambiance. A tasteful extension has been added to the bottom two floors, resulting in nearly 2,000 square feet of above-grade living space, along with an impressive 600 square foot stand-up cellar. The home's mechanical systems, electrical wiring, and plumbing have been modernized, leaving only cosmetic enhancements—if desired—for you to relish this gem, whether as a personal sanctuary or as a savvy investment. With tenants secured through October 2025, you have ample time to envision and plan your dream home while enjoying a steady income stream from this remarkable property.

Red Hook is a waterfront neighborhood defined by cobblestone lanes, repurposed brick warehouses, and low-rise residential buildings on a peninsula jutting into Upper New York Bay. No subway runs directly through the neighborhood; NYC Ferry's South Brooklyn route and the B61 bus provide primary transit connections to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan. Valentino Pier Park and the 58-acre Red Hook Recreation Area offer harbor-front green space, while the working cruise terminal at Pier 12 maintains the area's maritime heritage.
