Cobble Hill: Federalist Townhouse in Landmark Brooklyn Neighborhood

All are invited to join us at one of our upcoming open houses!

Located at the junction of Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill, 479 Henry Street is a meticulously maintained, Federalist-style townhouse. As part of the Cobble Hill Historic District, which is recognized both municipally and federally, the property affords a buyer with the opportunity to blend historic and modern, and create a unique, dream home.

479 Henry Street’s history begins in c. 1844, when Jacob Frost commissioned the development of a series of homes and enlisted then-local carpenter and builder, Richard Whipple to construct them. After their construction, all the homes in the series bore adornments harking to the Greek Revival style. Over one and a half centuries later, 479 is one of the few to have the original, Greek-fret ironwork intact.

Today, the four-family home has over 4000 sq. ft. of livable space on a 2200 sq. ft. lot (22’ x 100’) and is comprised of a total of seven unattached-bedrooms and four full-bathrooms. The lower three levels are expanded upon, adding additional living space to each apartment. The garden and parlor apartments both connect to the split-level rear-garden, which has an upper and lower patio, with a large yard between them.
