Here is the perfect Brooklyn townhouse on Cobble Hill's most treasured block, across the street from Cobble Hill Park. This distinctive Queen Anne style home -- a landmarked brownstone with a gorgeous mansard roof and notable for its weathervane and terra cotta detail -- has been masterfully restored and expanded and offers four bedrooms, three full and one half bathroom, a garden and third floor terrace, along with a fantastic windowed lower level living room with a full bathroom, pantry storage and access out to the street or garden. The main floor, up a short stoop and through a double entry with gorgeous arched doors, has the ideal flow from the front living room lined with custom shelving to the gracious dining room and then to the open kitchen with walnut-topped island and glass French doors out to the garden. A rear staircase off the kitchen connects that floor to the windowed lower level of the home, configured with a front pantry/storage area, and a cozy family room/second living room. There is a full bathroom on this level, and a separate room houses mechanicals and storage. The house has a rarely seen three exposures, with a wall of west facing windows in addition to the south and north facing front and back of the home. One flight up are two large bedrooms, one with two exposures. A full bath and laundry are off the windowed hall, and the landing at the top of the stairs is perfect for an additional office space or reading nook. The top floor - added in a masterful expansion in 2010 - comprises the primary bedroom suite with dressing room and modern bathroom with a skylight and walk in shower, along with an additional bedroom or sitting room with doors out to a lovely terrace overlooking the garden. All systems, including four zone heat and multi zone central air conditioning, were installed in 2010. 147 Congress Street is perfectly located in Cobble Hill, moments to the most popular restaurants, bars, shops and parks, and with easy access to Borough Hall trains and the F train.
