This historic Brooklyn townhouse at 219 Kane Street, mansion-priced at $11,000,000, is a manageable two-unit property with notable advantages. The renovated 1850s Greek Revival home has been thoroughly upgraded, with a carefully considered design highlighting well-preserved Italianate details. Located within the Cobble Hill Historic District, the townhouse is 22 feet wide with a two-story rear extension, a garage, and several outdoor spaces.

Though currently set up as a single-family dwelling, the home’s garden level is ready to be used as a separate apartment for rental income or guest accommodations. A lengthy renovation resulted in up-to-the-minute infrastructure, including zoned central heating and air-conditioning, smart home technology, radiant floor heat, and a gas fireplace (in addition to two wood-burning fireplaces).
