Warren Place lies just beyond the wrought-iron gates on Warren Street and opens to one of Brooklyn's hidden jewels. Inspired by a British community in the late 1800s and built in 1878 by philanthropist Alfred Tredway White, this enclave of 34 English-style workingmen's cottages is one of Cobble Hill's most treasured landmarked addresses. Beyond the flowering courtyard and flowing fountain awaits 12 Warren Place, a single-family townhome offering Gothic charm and modern comfort with recent upgrades and renovations.
Spanning across three levels, the home features exposed brick, original beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and two decorative fireplaces. The entry level offers a welcoming sitting area with a decorative mantel and a sun-filled living room with custom built-ins and ample closet space. French glass doors provide privacy for the living room, which could also serve as a third bedroom. Upstairs, a skylit stairwell leads to two bright bedrooms with fully outfitted closets, a full bath, and a convenient washer/dryer.
The garden level reveals a thoughtfully designed cook's kitchen with a Bertazzoni range, new appliances, and open dining anchored by the second fireplace and exposed brick walls. A flexible office nook and additional full bathroom complete this floor.
Step outside to your private cobblestone patio and gardena which is a secluded retreat with mature trees, birdsong, and a touch of countryside magic. 12 Warren Place combines historic character with modern updates, remarkably low carrying costs, and a location in the heart of Cobble Hill.
Live just five minutes from world-class Brooklyn Bridge Park. Great restaurants, greengrocers, and boutiques line Henry Street, Atlantic Avenue, Court Street, and the Cobble Hill Waterfront District. 12 Warren Place is five to ten minutes from the Bergen Street stop on the F train, and a little farther to the express trains at Borough Hall. This home is zoned for PS 29.
I can confidently say you will love it on Warren Place... I live here too!
