House of the Day: 18 Douglass Street
Although it falls outside the historic district, this four-story brick house at 18 Douglass Street in Cobble Hill looks to us to be quite old, possibly from the first half of the 19th century. It’s extra wide (25 feet, according to PropertyShark), and appears to be in fairly decent shape with some nice details such as marble…
Although it falls outside the historic district, this four-story brick house at 18 Douglass Street in Cobble Hill looks to us to be quite old, possibly from the first half of the 19th century. It’s extra wide (25 feet, according to PropertyShark), and appears to be in fairly decent shape with some nice details such as marble fireplaces. In the bathroom pictured, we’d lose the tile and plumbing bump-out, but keep the claw foot tub.
It’s set up as two floor-through rentals over an owner’s duplex. Listed in October, it recently had a price cut and is now asking $3,300,000. There is an open house this weekend. Has anyone seen this in person? What do you think of it?

25 feet of frontage is not “extra wide” in older neighborhoods like Cobble Hill or Brooklyn Heights. It’s the standard lot width.
