36 Strong Place is one of the most exceptional properties anywhere in Brownstone Brooklyn. This 26' wide 1840s carriage house is fully detached and is built on an almost unheard-of 3470 square foot (28.5' X 122') lot on arguably the most desirable block in Cobble Hill. One of the most unique aspects of this home is that it is located at the rear of the lot with a tremendous front yard and private driveway for up to three cars. It is set approximately 90' feet off the street allowing for an unsurpassed level of privacy and tranquility, and the feel of a quiet country home. Mature trees and a beautiful front garden largely obscure the street from the house. It is in line with all the neighboring rear yards so every window from each of the four exposures overlooks a private garden. There is literally nothing else like it in Cobble Hill. In 2013, this home underwent a gorgeous custom renovation designed by award-winning architect Ben Baxt creating a synergy of historic detail with modern conveniences. On three levels, there are 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a magnificent custom chef's kitchen, living room, dining room, ample storage, and den. There are stunning exposed beams, multiple skylights, 14' pine floors, a wood-burning fireplace, zoned central AC and heat throughout, radiant heat in the den, and a dramatic architectural staircase of steel and wood connecting every level. There is a custom built barn door which opens up the entire living room to a wall of windows facing the garden. This property has a lot that is nearly double what is typical for a townhouse; because of this, there is tremendous expansion potential including perhaps building a front 28'-wide townhouse. Nestled on coveted tree-lined Strong Place, an incredibly desirable one-block street, your new home is in the middle of Cobble Hill, one of the most urbane neighborhoods in Brooklyn. World class shopping and dining (Brooklyn Fare, Trader Joes, Sahadis), schools, and culture (Brooklyn Bridge Park, Barclays Center, BAM) are at your fingertips. This home is singular in every way.
