388 HENRY ST

Welcome to one of Cobble Hill’s most desirable blocks. On this beautiful, tree-lined, and sun-drenched street sits this statuesque and immaculately preserved, 19.17 ft wide, three-story plus garden level, two-family townhouse. This beautiful home has had only two owners in the last 100 years and is truly the picture of the classic Brooklyn Brownstone. Entering your stoop, a period-perfect foyer leads into a truly grand parlor level. East and west-facing windows that stretch floor to ceiling in this 11.5-tall space illuminate the impressive original detail. Two c.1919 custom brass chandeliers, original plaster crown molding, panel moldings, and framing details abound. Six stone mantle fireplaces and impressively well-kept inlaid wood floors highlight the incredible stewardship of the home's previous owners. On the garden level, you will find a formal dining room that could easily host the largest of dinner parties or family gatherings. A full eat-in kitchen lies in the rear looking out into a 47 ft private garden oasis with endless afternoon sun. Below the garden is a full-height cellar in incredible condition just waiting to be turned into your home's fitness center, wine cellar, or both! Upstairs, on the master suite level, there are two bright and spacious bedrooms one at the front and one at the rear. The rooms are separated by walk-in closets that offer abundant storage. This master suite level will not disappoint in ceiling height or window size either, and thanks to backing up against the Warren Place Mews – it offers the most remarkable views one could ask for in brownstone Brooklyn. Complete with its own kitchen and bath, the top floor unit makes an ideal ‘mother-in-law or ’au-pair’ quarters. With incredible harbor views, and two additional fireplaces, this space could easily be transitioned into additional sitting rooms, bedrooms, childrens play area, library, or anything your heart could desire. The building dimensions measure 19.17 ft x 40 ft, and it sits on a 100 ft deep lot. There appears to be build-able square footage (FAR) available. The property is conveniently in reach of all the amenities of both Atlantic Avenue and Court and Smith Streets. The recently completed Brooklyn Bridge Park, and its adorable and quaint counterpart Cobble Hill Park are just a short stroll away. Borough Hall for the 2/3/4/5/R is just a short walk, and the Bergen F/G station has a Warren Street entry just three short blocks away.
