16 Verandah Place is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a recently restored, architecturally stunning carriage house owned by a prestigious international musical artist.
This 28 ft wide carriage house is perfectly situated on Cobble Hill''s Verandah Place - a quiet mews, landmarked lane and one of the most sought after blocks in Brooklyn. To top it off, Cobble Hill Park, a semi-secret and idyllic neighborhood park sits right across the quiet, tucked away street that is rarely driven down. A beautiful oasis of a block filled with history, charm and calm.
Enter into this stunning carriage house and be greeted by the large vestibule, big enough to store bikes, carts, strollers and coats. Pass by the glass block wall and you are greeted with more wonderful mid-century design choices: exposed bricks and wood and metal beams, floor to ceiling windows that artfully frame the trees in the the back yard and oversized windows that stream in light from the north and south. The living room takes over the majority of the first floor, with a wood burning fireplace, a balcony terrace facing the backyard and views of townhouses.
The house just glows!
Two sets of stairs connect the house- an open, split level stair that cascades down to the garden level and a stunning spiral staircase that winds itself around a sturdy two story timber beam. A giant, building height, vertical window creates an open feeling filled with light and green from the back yard. The first floor up this amazing stair is the primary suite with a sun kissed, full depth bedroom, cross-breezes and a new en suite bath with two person shower and double sink complete this floor.
The top floor offers two bedrooms, and an option for a third. The larger one, that extends the depth of the house, was a recording studio and has been converted into a double sized, shared bedroom. This room is easily converted back to two separate bedrooms. The other bedroom is adjacent. All with leafy views. The added sound proof flooring in the larger room remains, cushioning the master bedroom on the floor below from any noise. The top floor also contains an updated hall bath with a great tub, laundry room, expansive, built in bookshelves and easy access to the roof through the new, hydraulic roof hatch.
Down the stairs off the living room is access to the backyard as well as the garden level with an open, newly renovated kitchen, dining space for ten people and a cozy sitting area. There is a second wood burning fireplace that even has a built in bread oven for all your sourdough needs! A powder room, a secret (shhhh!) room/pantry and amazing double dutch doors that open directly out onto the patio further bless this level with convenience, cool, class and old world charm.
The arbored yard has a brick patio as well as a koi pond, multiple planting areas and a row of conifers.
Please note that this architecturally astute and respectfully restored home comes with a long list of improvements that we would love to share.
