## Property Overview

Elegant Legal Three-Family Townhouse with Garden Apartment & Cellar

Nestled on one of Cobble Hill’s most picturesque, tree-lined streets, 138 Kane Street presents a rare opportunity to own a vacant, impeccably maintained townhouse rich in character, flexibility, and future potential.

This legal three-family townhouse, currently configured and used as a four-family, spans three full residential floors, a finished garden apartment, and a full cellar—ideal for end-users, investors, or multi-generational living. Thoughtfully cared for and in excellent condition, the home showcases classic pre-war details including high ceilings, hardwood floors, decorative mantels, and updated mechanicals, seamlessly blending timeless charm with modern comfort.

Current configuration:

Garden Apartment: One bedroom, kitchen, family room, and full bathroom
Second Floor: Bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom
Third Floor: Two bedrooms, living room, kitchen with pantry, and bathroom
Fourth Floor: Two bedrooms, living room, kitchen with pantry, and bathroom

A full cellar provides abundant storage and utility space, while the generous lot offers significant upside. With approximately 1,477 square feet of unused FAR and a maximum allowable buildable area of 6,073 square feet, the property presents excellent potential for future expansion or rooftop additions (subject to DOB approval).

Perfectly situated between Cheever Place and Henry Street, the home is moments from Cobble Hill Park, Court Street cafés and boutiques, and convenient subway access—set in one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhoods, celebrated for its historic beauty and vibrant community.

### How this price compares

- **This home**: $5,850,000
- **Median sold price**: $3,750,000

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sale-to-list price**: 99.1% (7 sales)

Based on house sales in Cobble Hill with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through August 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3003220029. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
