Welcome to 64 Cheever Place

A thoughtful dialogue between Brooklyn tradition and contemporary design defines this exceptional five-bedroom, five-full-bathroom and two-powder-room townhouse. Across five beautifully realized levels, classic brownstone architecture is paired with an extraordinary collection of natural materials, custom millwork and globally sourced finishes.

Conceived with a deep respect for the enduring appeal of Brooklyn's historic townhouses, the residence draws inspiration from multiple eras of design, with subtle Art Deco and mid-century influences woven throughout. Original plaster walls, rich walnut, expressive stone, handcrafted tile and a considered mix of vintage and contemporary lighting create interiors that feel collected rather than prescribed. The result is sophisticated yet warm-a home where craftsmanship and livability take center stage.

The parlor level establishes the tone with an expansive living and dining room stretching nearly 25 feet in length. Beyond, the kitchen is a statement in craftsmanship, featuring solid walnut cabinetry with stainless-steel hardware and dramatic, one-of-a-kind quartzite selected for both its beauty and durability. A powder room completes the level.

At the rear, the kitchen opens directly onto a deck finished in honed Italian travertine, with stairs descending to the landscaped garden. Evergreens, perennials and climbing vines have been thoughtfully composed to mature over time, creating an increasingly lush and private outdoor retreat.

One level below, the garden floor offers a generously proportioned family room with wet bar and direct access to the garden. A bedroom with walk-in closet and en-suite bath provides an ideal guest suite, while an additional powder room completes the floor.

The third floor is devoted entirely to the primary suite, offering exceptional privacy and scale. The nearly 19-foot-wide bedroom is joined by an oversized walk-in dressing room and a spectacular primary bathroom, where a shower clad in rare Onice Traveronyx-a striking natural combination of onyx and travertine-is complemented by a freestanding soaking tub and private sauna.

Three additional bedrooms occupy the fourth floor, joined by two full bathrooms, laundry and a dedicated dressing area, thoughtfully separating the home's private sleeping quarters from the entertaining spaces below.

The cellar adds another dimension to the home with an approximately 25-foot-long recreation room, full bathroom and laundry. Mid-century-inspired wood paneling and richly textured avocado leather-finished quartzite give this level its own distinctive character.

Exceptional materials continue throughout the residence, including Calacatta white-and-gold marble, hand-cut glazed ceramic tile, burlwood veneers with a piano finish, African zebra ebony and walnut. A custom stainless-steel arch reinterprets a classical architectural form through an unexpected industrial material-one of the home's most memorable design gestures.

Lighting has been treated with equal consideration, pairing historic Italian and Danish sconces with contemporary fixtures and iconic designs, including pieces by Isamu Noguchi. Original plaster walls throughout key areas of the home further contribute to its depth, texture and sense of craftsmanship.

The setting is equally exceptional. Tucked away on Cheever Place, one of Cobble Hill's rare "Place" blocks, the home enjoys a distinctly residential atmosphere removed from the neighborhood's busier thoroughfares. With limited through traffic and a sense that those walking the block are largely neighbors and residents, Cheever Place feels intimate, peaceful and remarkably private, while remaining moments from the shops, restaurants and cafes that make Cobble Hill one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods. Nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park and the waterfront provide acres of green space and recreation, while convenient subway access offers an easy connection to Manhattan.

With five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two powder rooms, a full-floor primary suite with sauna, multiple living and entertaining spaces, and a beautifully designed garden, 64 Cheever Place presents a singular interpretation of contemporary Brooklyn townhouse living-rooted in tradition, yet unmistakably of the present.

The possibilities in this location are endless. In its current configuration and immaculate condition, it can continue to operate perfectly as a rental. Alternatively, it presents the potential to be converted into a very high-end single-family home on one of Brooklyn's great blocks. Currently configured as a garden/basement duplex with floor-through units above, it would command approximately $18K per month in rental income its current state. Renovated single-family homes of this size in this location routinely trade for $8 to $9 million. Or it could easily be converted into high-end condominium homes which typically command $1800 to north of $2000 per foot. Significant improvements have been made to the apartments by the current owner. It is in wonderful condition and not in need of any improvements for the investor who simply wishes to invest in an A+ building in an A+ location. Along with Tompkins and Strong Place, Cheever is one of the only three single-street blocks in the area and offers a level of tranquility and privacy that is extremely rare.
