Overview of 157 Kane Street

157 Kane Street is a distinctive prewar co-op built in 1910, featuring just four units spread across four stories in a 22-foot wide brownstone on one of Cobble Hill's most picturesque blocks. Located between Cheever Place and Henry Street, this intimate building sits within a landmarked area surrounded by 19th century Federal style townhouses and carriage houses. The self managed, financially healthy co-op offers residents an authentic Brooklyn brownstone experience with modern conveniences.

The building's apartments consistently feature wood burning fireplaces with original marble surrounds, beautiful hardwood floors, and soaring 9'6 to 10 foot plus ceilings that enhance the prewar character. Most units offer multiple exposures providing exceptional natural light, with layouts ranging from two to three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Private roof deck access is a standout amenity, offering sweeping views of downtown Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New York Harbor, making it a coveted feature for entertaining and relaxation.

Practical amenities include in unit washer and dryer installations, generous basement storage spaces, and beautifully maintained garden areas that provide serene backyard views for many apartments. The building's kitchens have been thoughtfully updated with modern appliances and sleek finishes, while maintaining the classic brownstone charm through original architectural details and moldings.

The location places residents in the heart of Cobble Hill within the highly sought after PS 29 school district, with easy access to the vibrant dining and shopping along Court Street, Smith Street, and Atlantic Avenue. The building's proximity to Brooklyn Bridge Park, excellent public transportation, and the Brooklyn waterfront makes it an ideal choice for those seeking authentic brownstone living with urban convenience.

Sales History

Price/Room (Est)

Why are we displaying the estimated price per room?

For some co-ops, instead of price per square foot, we use an estimate of the number of rooms for each sold apartment to chart price changes over time. This is because many co-op listings do not include square footage information, and this makes it challenging to calculate accurate square-foot averages.

By displaying the price per estimated room count, we are able to provide a more reliable and consistent metric for comparing sales in the building. While we hope that this gives you a clearer sense of price trends in the building, all data should be independently verified. All data provided are only estimates and should not be used to make any purchase or sale decision.
