This is big news that can’t wait for next week’s Biggest Sales post…A unique, roughly 100-by-200-foot property at the corner of Henry and Kane Streets in Cobble Hill has just changed hands for $5,400,000. In addition to 200-foot deep side yard (with a large parking lot on Strong Place) the plot includes two double-wide brick townhouses that, according to the LPC report, were most likely built in 1848. When we stopped by, we couldn’t exactly tell what was up with the property. The buildings, which are architecturally gorgeous, seem to be in decent structural shape, but still look a bit shabby with some of the windows broken. The buyers live in the neighborhood, at 27 Strong Place, and there doesn’t appear to be any sort of development company involved. Anyone know the history of these two properties? Looks like a pretty good investment to us. Update: Lost City has done previous detective work and confirms the site was once a convent. See here for a post about the wall surrounding the lot, and here for a picture of the backyard inside it. GMAP
