    A once in a lifetime opportunity to restore and reimagine a magnificent Cobble Hill treasure. 159 Congress Street is a single family townhouse facing Cobble Hill Park with five floors as well as an unfinished attic. With over 4,000sf and tons of original detail intact, this is an incredible opportunity to design your dream home in Brooklyn. Gracious rooms with soaring ceilings are separated by the elegant center stair, with floor to ceiling parlor windows and French doors out to a lovely rear deck and planted garden. The space is here to accommodate 4-6 bedrooms and multiple living/entertaining spaces. There is no better location in this amazing neighborhood, with the park at your doorstep, and the incredible shops and restaurants of Cobble Hill moments away. 159 Congress Street has been home to one owner for the last 40 years, and is ready for its next chapter.
