We love Brooklyn Heights carriage houses for their charm and aesthetic appeal, and also for their evocation of old New York. They allude to a now-gone city of cobblestone streets and horse drawn carriages. Brooklyn Heights, along with Clinton Hill and Cobble Hill, has quite a few. Above, Hunts Lane.

  1. 43 Love Lane was totally reconstructed and nothing but the shape of the original remains. There are also carriage houses on Middagh Street, Pineapple Street, Willow Street, and several together on Henry Street just south of Joralemon Street.

  2. Cate, your recollection about the sale is correct. A very wealthy individual bought it — in large part, I suspect, as a place to park their cars.

    It sat empty for about a year and then a gut renovation took place. The first floor is still parking for 4 to 6 cars in the front 2/3rds and a work space in the back 1/3rd.

    The 2nd floor, which was 2,000 square feet of relatively decrepit apartment was completely gutted into a generic 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath with the de-riguer kitchen/dining/living room great room across the front of the space. So basically, 4 rooms.

    It’s currently for rent for $10,000 a month. While the space is bland it does have 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, is bright, clean, new, has both a small back yard patio (10′ deep by 40′ wide — all flagstone), a private parking space, a washer/dryer and is one on of the most charming blocks of all of Brooklyn.

    And I saved the best for last — the horse stalls that were mentioned are all still there — untouch and as straight out of The Age of Innocence as ever. 🙂
