Description

Abundantly charming cottage by the sea located on a lovely cobblestone street in prime Red Hook! Steeped in history, the owners say this jewel box gem dates back to 1810 and is the oldest home in the neighborhood. This red brick is a single-family (classified as 2-family) and has undergone a significant renovation in recent months -- boasting new kitchen, baths, wood flooring and mechanical -- and has been freshly painted throughout. The first floor features original tin ceilings, a sweet living room with decorative fireplace that leads to an open kitchen/dining room, and half bath. The upper level has 2.5 BRs, windowed full bath, and laundry as well as a spiral staircase leading to a sun swept bonus room that could serve as an artists' loft or studio space/home office. From there, you have straight access to the roof, a perfect canvas for creating a striking roof deck with expansive harbor and skyline views. The lower level has an additional living space and houses the property's mechanical and work shop area. A landscaped rear yard accessed through a greenhouse complete the picture. Nearby to Fairway, noted local restaurants, Chelsea Garden Center, and waterfront parks.

Building Information

Style Prewar

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.
