22 Strong Place is a 6,600SF townhouse on one of Cobble Hill's most beloved blocks. This spectacular home, built 22 x 60 on five floors, is offered as a clean, blank slate and ready for a purchaser to finish to their specifications. This home has just received a brand-new roof and extensive repair after damage from a fire that was contained to the top floor, and will be delivered with landmark-approved plans for a complete restoration. A purchaser has the option of retaining a huge amount of custom millwork: closets, bookcases, kitchen cabinetry, bathroom cabinets, marble counters, and enormous marble-topped kitchen island, and high end appliances (Liebherr, Gaggenau, Viking). Wall studs are intact, and all plumbing, heat and electrical service are in good working order (including radiant heat in three of the bathrooms), and no structural work is needed. A 2011 complete renovation included installation of multi-zone heat and air conditioning systems, two new boilers, an elevator neatly tucked at the rear of the parlor through fourth floor, all new windows, the garden level transformed as a wonderful media/family/play room with radiant heat, garden and patio excavated with direct access from both parlor and garden floors, and a spectacular Ipe roof terrace with views to NY Harbor and Manhattan. The handsome brownstone faade was also redone in 2011. Unique features of this massive detached brownstone are its 24.5 x 109 foot lot size, the 60-foot depth on every floor, high ceilings throughout including 14-foot parlor floor ceilings and 12 feet on the top floor, and a center stair configuration on the upper floors with three large windows across on both the east and west sides. Each bathroom benefits from a window along the north wall. The massive west-facing backyard is graced by a magnificent Mulberry tree - the kind that tree house dreams are made of! This is one of Cobble Hill's largest homes in an ideal location - down the street from PS29, and near all the fantastic restaurants and shops this amazing neighborhood is known for. This is a rare opportunity to jump right in to the finishing stage of a renovation and make it your forever home.
