Rare opportunity to remake this vast Cobble Hill townhouse WITH PARKING into the home of your dreams. 136 Kane Street is a Landmark corner townhouse built 25' wide x 40' deep on a huge 27.5' wide lot that is 100' deep. And - it has a Legal Curb Cut and PARKING SPACE on the property. It is flooded with light from 3 exposures offering many options to reconfigure to your needs. The home is now set up as a double duplex. The lower unit is vacant, and the upper unit is under lease until July 2024. This unique property offers an exceptional opportunity to expand and upgrade this home in any manner you may need. A current Architectural Review suggests that a Carriage House with parking and guest quarters could be added at the back of the lot, a 2 story extension could be added to the rear of the home, and the window plan along Cheever Place could be revised to bring in even more Western light. The Architectural Review also suggests that it may be possible to build a deck on the roof to take in sweeping views of the skyline and harbor. It's an amazing opportunity. Please contact the Listing Agent for access to the Architectural Review. The building is in very sound condition, and is built on brick arches in the cellar to lend another 150+ years of stability. The cellar is excavated to a comfortable height for a huge gym/media room. The large vault under the sidewalk will be perfect for your wine cellar. And there is plenty of dry cellar space left over for all the storage you would ever need. The home is in an ideal location to put down your roots and build your forever home. Cobble Hill is one of the most sought out locations in brownstone Brooklyn with a significant Landmark District stretching from Atlantic Avenue to DeGraw Street. This assures the continuity of the lovely brownstone streetscapes. Also nearby are the lovely Verandah Park, and the world class Brooklyn Bridge Park. There is great shopping dining and shopping on Atlantic Ave and Court Street plus easy access to the amenities of Brooklyn Heights and Carroll Gardens. There are many school alternatives in the area, and the local elementary school is visible from your stoop! Visit soon for the opportunity of a lifetime!

Get to Know Cobble Hill

Cobble Hill is a small, laid-back neighborhood comprising 40 blocks in northwest Brooklyn. It offers easy access to the water and sits adjacent to Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, and Carroll Gardens. Most of the action takes place on Court Street, the community’s main artery lined with hip cafes, restaurants and boutiques. The neighborhood was named after a conically shaped hill located at the present-day intersection of Atlantic Avenue, Pacific Street and Court Street. The incline was known as 'Ponkiesbergh' to early Dutch settlers, which directly translates to “Cobble Hill.” Today, Cobble Hill is considered the wealthiest area in Brooklyn, and is often listed alongside upscale Manhattan communities like the Upper East Side and Soho as one of the most desirable locations in the city. Thanks to its well-preserved 19th-century architecture, pristine brownstones and stunning row houses, Cobble Hill has been designated as a historic district.
