After 35 years of ownership, the seller is ready to part with his beautiful Cobble Hills townhouse.

Make this, your chance to become the next part of this desirable neighborhood’s history.

below are the historic notes regarding this row of townhomes from the Cobble HIll Historic District Designation Report 1969

“Two similar rows of brownstone houses built for their owner Finery M. Van Tassel, a grain merchant, who lived on Clinton Street on the block to the south. They were designed respectively in 1879 (Nos. 351A-357A) by Perkins & Green, architects, and in 1877 (Nos. 345-351) by the architect H. M. Tostevin. They are retardataire Italianate with some Neo-Grec decorative influence primarily at the roof cornices. The southern row has retained its balustrades and Neo-Grec pedimented doorways. The newel posts are interestingly different at Nos. 355A and 353A.”

This townhouse consists of 3 units. The lower duplex includes the backyard, plus the basement which is semi- finished. It is a 2 Bedroom with 1.5 baths. Much of the historic detailing is intact on the Parlor level with historic ceiling molding, flooring patterns, and wood shutters. Ceilings in the Parlor level are 11 feet, with the upper two floors having 9 feet 5 inch ceilings.

The upper two units are nicely refined and renovated as 1 bedroom apartments with ample closets, and an office area off the bedroom. The kitchens are spacious with excellent eastern sunlight. These two apartments are very popular and always have rented quickly.

Condition of the building has been well maintained over the years with updated stucco facade, up graded electrical, new plumbing main trunk, and the recently resurfaced rooftop. And soon to be added, a reconstruction of the historic gate, below the stoop.
