Built in 1872 and currently configured as a four-family residence in very good condition, this historic townhouse provides exceptional flexibility for its next chapter. It can be thoughtfully reimagined as a gracious single-family home, converted into a bespoke owner’s triplex with an income-producing garden floor apartment, or maintained as a multi-family investment. Bring your architect and imagination to unlock its full potential.
Rich in original architectural detail, the home features soaring ceilings — including approximately 11-foot ceilings on the parlor level — generous proportions throughout, a deep private garden, and a full basement. The garden level includes a 13-foot extension, naturally lending itself to the addition of a terrace off the parlor floor as part of a future redesign. With classic brownstone character and exceptional underlying bones, the property presents a compelling canvas for transformation now, or in the future.
Strong Place is widely regarded as one of the neighborhood’s most treasured blocks, admired for its tree-lined setting and historic residential charm. A playground at the end of the street offers a place for kids to run, and beloved local boutiques, cafés, and restaurants offer respite to adults. Live on a quiet street while still having easy access to the conveniences of Court and Smith Street and the F and G subway lines.
16 Strong Place represents a distinguished opportunity to create a custom residence in the heart of Cobble Hill. Will be delivered vacant.
