Why this property will seduce you

  • Historic Location: Cobble Hill Historic District heart.
  • Grand Volumes: 14-foot ceilings, expansive windows.
  • Flexible Layout: Bonus room and adaptable loft office.
Originally built as Brooklyn Public School 78, this distinguished Victorian schoolhouse on Pacific Street in the heart of Cobble Hill’s Historic District reflects an era when Brooklyn was an independent city investing in grand public buildings. Now a residential co-op, the building provides a distinctive setting for this newly renovated home, featuring two bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, and a home office, blending historic character with modern design.

Soaring 14-foot ceilings and expansive west- and south-facing windows draw in natural light and frame views of the trees and townhouse rooftops that define the landmarked neighborhood. All windows face the quiet, tree-filled courtyard.

Anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, the generous living and dining area offers the flexibility to create a layout that feels distinctly your own, with room for a substantial dining table, comfortable seating, and evenings spent with friends by the fire. A sleek built-in cabinet provides storage and space to display favorite pieces. Just off the main living area, a bonus room can serve as a music room, reading retreat, or home office, adding flexibility for entertaining, unwinding, and working.

A windowed kitchen features Carrara marble countertops, a Wolf range, a Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher.

The primary bedroom is a quiet retreat with a custom-fitted walk-in closet. A custom folding staircase leads to an upper area that can serve as a home office and offers substantial storage for luggage, seasonal items, and sporting equipment. When not in use, the staircase tucks away to keep the bedroom open and uncluttered.

The full bathroom features a spacious tiled shower with a rainfall showerhead and a sleek vanity, while a powder room is conveniently situated just off the entry. Both are equipped with smart-flush toilets.

A sleek staircase leads to the lofted second bedroom above the main living area, where south-facing windows frame leafy views. This versatile space is ideal for a guest room, nursery, or home office. The loft also includes closets, an in-unit washer and dryer.

Located at 174 Pacific Street, this French Second Empire-style building has been part of the Cobble Hill Historic District since 1969. Its architectural heritage is complemented by proximity to Trader Joe’s, Atlantic Avenue’s boutiques and restaurants, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and convenient transportation, placing the best of one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhoods just outside your door.

Per the co-op, tenants are not permitted to have pets.
