About This Property
30 Bergen Street sits at the nexus of the ever-popular Cobble Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn. You are surrounded by the history and vibrancy of this neighborhood that many treasure as home. The Greek Revival home was built circa 1850 and, with just over 3,600 square feet, this twenty-two-foot-wide home was gut-renovated to bring the mechanicals and overall building structure into the modern era. The handsome facade was updated with a beautiful cornice in keeping with the character of the surrounding enduring clapboard homes.
Reimagine this property as a fantastic single-family home with the possibility of additional square footage. One option is to add an extension to the third floor to create an impressive primary suite along with a terrace just above the parlor level. Alternatively, adding a fifth-floor sunroom/den for rooftop entertaining could be your heart's desire. At just shy of 800 additional square feet for a 22-foot-wide home, there are many ways to configure your trophy home in this storied neighborhood.
Currently configured as a three-family, there is an owner's duplex with an entertaining floor comprised of a kitchen, living room, dining room and half bath on the garden level, and two bedrooms with a study and full bathroom on the parlor floor. Above the owner's duplex are two one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments earning premium rental income. Each unit has split HVAC systems, in-unit laundry and an all-electric kitchen.
Step out your stoop into one of the most desirable neighborhoods in all of New York City. Restaurants, shops and all that is quintessential Brooklyn are nearby on Court Street, Smith Street, Atlantic Avenue and beyond. Cobble Hill Park, Carroll Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park are your nearest green spaces. Brooklyn Heights, Boerum Hill, Carroll Gardens and Downtown Brooklyn are all within easy reach. With close proximity to Manhattan and multiple subway lines at your disposal, leaving this beautiful Brooklyn enclave is always an option — should you wish.
30 Bergen Street is your perfect opportunity to call Cobble Hill home.
