A triplex apartment found inside a historic Brooklyn church has hit the market. The unique apartment is within the adaptive reuse development The Arches at Cobble Hill, which transformed the former St. Peter’s Church into condominiums in 2005. Now on the market asking $3,495,000 is a four-bedroom that boasts original details, like stained glass windows, wood beams, and the church’s steeple.
The Arches at Cobble Hill is a three-building complex that once held the 19th-century church, a rectory, and a nursing academy. Plans to gut renovate and convert the site into 60 high-end condominiums were approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 2002 and the project was completed in 2005.
The project incorporated original architectural elements, like vaulted ceilings, wood columns, exposed brick, wood trusses, and stained glass.
The available 3,000-square-foot condo features the bell tower, which allows for amazing views as well as a soaring atrium.
Upon entering the home’s lower level, you’ll find a kitchen that has wood and glass cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. The kitchen opens into the spacious living room, which flaunts tall ceilings and unique arches and columns. Three bedrooms, including one with built-in shelving, are also on this level.
The primary bedroom takes up the full floor of the upper level. The en-suite bath includes a bathtub, walk-in shower, and double vanity. An impressive open iron and beam staircase takes you to every level of the home.
The home’s two additional upper levels could readily act as a home office or art studio, with the top floor drenched in natural light and boasting 360-degree views of Brooklyn and Manhattan.
In addition to its location in one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhoods, The Arches also offers residents a live-in super, a package room, and a shared landscaped courtyard.
