44 Cheever Place, built as a schoolhouse in 1922, was converted to a 30-unit condominium in 1986 with various amenities. The Cobble Hill School Condo is conveniently located near parks, popular attractions, and public transportation options in Brooklyn.
The Cobble Hill School Condo at 44 Cheever Place (also known as 501 Hicks Street) is a landmarked former schoolhouse built in 1922 and converted into a 30-unit condominium in 1986. The building retains much of its original architectural character, with apartments featuring high ceilings ranging from 12 to 13 feet (some with vaulted or double-height configurations), oversized casement windows, exposed concrete beamed ceilings, and original maple wood flooring. The conversion preserved the schoolhouse aesthetic while creating loft like living spaces with open layouts and abundant natural light.
A standout feature across many units is the availability of deeded parking spots in the private gated lot where the school's playground once stood, a rare amenity in Brooklyn that owners can rent out for approximately $400 per month if not needed. Apartments commonly include open kitchens with high end appliances from brands like Bosch and Fisher & Paykel, in-unit washer/dryers, centralized HVAC systems, and assigned storage bins. The building's penthouse triplex is particularly notable, featuring a private deck, a bonus room in the sky with skylight, and sweeping views from downtown Brooklyn to the Verrazano Bridge to lower Manhattan. Several duplex units offer two to three bedrooms with dens, walk in closets, and multiple bathrooms with luxury finishes including Pietra Cardosa stone countertops and spa tubs.
Building amenities include an elevator, video intercom, bike storage throughout the building and parking lot, and a superintendent with porter on staff. A shared roof deck with harbor and Manhattan skyline views has been completed, offering residents additional outdoor space. The building is pet friendly and can be entered from either the Cheever Place parking lot or the Hicks Street entrance.
The Cobble Hill School Condo sits on a quiet "Place" block in Cobble Hill on the Carroll Gardens border, one block from highly regarded PS29. The location provides easy access to Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Waterfront Greenway, and Cobble Hill Park, with popular shopping and dining along Columbia, Court, Smith, and Atlantic Streets. Transportation options include express trains at Borough Hall (2, 3, 4, 5, N, R lines), F/G trains at Bergen Street, and nearby Citi Bike stations.
