Located on a quiet tree-lined block in the Cobble Hill Historic District, 217 Warren Street is a stately four-story two-family brownstone with a stoop and front garden that mirrors its neighbors. This well-maintained home features exposed brick, custom built-ins and a large patio and garden, perfect for cookouts or camp-outs.

It is currently configured with a spacious five-bedroom, three-bath owner’s triplex with an elegant contemporary steel and wood custom staircase connecting the garden, parlor and third floors. The top floor features a five-room high-income rental apartment, reached by using the original (rebuilt) staircase.

In the triplex, stone counters and sleek white cabinetry brighten the architect-designed cook’s kitchen, which opens to a large dining room with exposed brick walls. The space has an easy flow to the adjacent living room and beyond to a charming patio and garden, perfect for entertaining.

The parlor floor has two sunny bedrooms, while the third floor has two large bedrooms plus a central flex space built out as an office or playroom. An extra side room can serve as a fifth bedroom. There is a renovated bathroom on each floor.

A full basement offers extensive storage and a large workshop, all served by stairs from the front and a hatch from the garden.

With a commanding brownstone facade, stoop and stellar location, this is the perfect home to use as is or to reconfigure into a fabulous single-family home.

The neighborhood is one of the most charming in Brooklyn, with parks, shopping, cafes and restaurants nearby on Court and Smith streets and beautiful Cobble Hill Park a block away.

The ask is 3.795 million; Martha Ellman and Myrel Glick of Douglas Elliman have the listing.
