174 Pacific St

A low-rise, four-story cooperative converted from a turn-of-the-century schoolhouse around 1901, this landmarked Cobble Hill property preserves historic character while offering modern apartment living. The building’s French Second Empire–inspired masonry and oversized windows announce its schoolhouse origins; interior units feature loft-like proportions with high ceilings, exposed beams and brick, hardwood floors, skylights, and occasional cupola or tower spaces. Residences commonly include three-bedroom layouts configured as duplexes or triplexes with private foyers, generous dining areas, pantries and built-in storage; many units incorporate wood-burning fireplaces, custom millwork, and in-unit washer/dryer hookups. Shared elements emphasize boutique scale: a gated garden and multiple private outdoor terraces, direct private entrances for select homes, bike storage, elevator access, on-site superintendent and deeded or gated parking spots. The co-op permits pets and flexible ownership arrangements such as co-purchasing and guarantors, and maintains relatively low monthly maintenance. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in the Historic Cobble Hill Landmark District, the building sits steps from Trader Joe’s, Smith and Court Street dining, Atlantic Avenue shops, Brooklyn Bridge Park and numerous subway lines, blending a residential streetscape with immediate neighborhood conveniences.
