Set on a bucolic stretch of Henry Street in the heart of Cobble Hill, 479 Henry Street is a rarely available, turn-key single-family townhouse that seamlessly blends scale, light, and thoughtful design.

Originally built circa 1844 as part of one of Cobble Hill’s earliest townhouse rows, the home has evolved over time—from single-family to multi-family and, most recently, a full renovation in 2022—resulting in a property that balances historic character with a highly livable, modern layout.

At 22 feet wide, the sense of volume is immediate. Beyond the stoop and gated forecourt, the parlor level unfolds into a loft-like expanse where kitchen, living, and dining come together effortlessly. A full wall of glass anchors the space, drawing your eye out to the garden and filling the home with natural light from both eastern and western exposures throughout the day.

The current owners have made thoughtful upgrades with a clear focus on how the home lives day to day.

Custom millwork and built-ins run throughout, adding warmth, texture, and smart storage without ever feeling overdone. The material palette is consistent and elevated, with wide-plank oak flooring, refined stonework, and a clean, cohesive finish from floor to floor.

The garden level offers a more relaxed, flexible living space, with an additional bedroom, full bath, and a secondary lounge complete with a decorative fireplace—one of six in the home—and a wet bar. It opens directly to a beautifully landscaped, two-tiered garden, one of three outdoor spaces, surrounded by neighboring townhouse gardens for a rare sense of privacy.

Upstairs, the third floor features two generously sized bedrooms, a windowed full bath, and a dedicated laundry room with excellent storage. An additional home office with built-in bookcases completes the level.

The top floor is dedicated entirely to the primary suite—a true retreat. Vaulted ceilings create dramatic volume, complemented by a spa-like bath with double vanity, soaking tub, and separate shower. A private rear terrace completes the space, offering open sky views above the surrounding gardens.

The cellar provides substantial storage and includes a secondary laundry area with a side-by-side vented washer and dryer.

Positioned on a picturesque block just moments from Court and Smith Streets, 479 Henry Street offers a rare combination of width, light, outdoor space, and turnkey condition in one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
