251 Pacific St

Built in 1913, this low-rise five-story prewar cooperative contains roughly 25 residences split between one- and two-bedroom layouts. The façade and scale reflect early-20th-century Brooklyn tenement and brownstone fabric; interiors combine original details—high ceilings, hardwood floors, tall windows—with a range of modern upgrades performed unit-by-unit. Common areas are modest but well maintained: a staffed lobby, a recently refreshed stairwell and planned interior lobby improvements. Shared amenities focus on practical urban living — a planted and furnished roof deck one flight up with panoramic views, a basement bike room, rentable storage cages, and card-operated laundry. Operationally the co-op reports sound finances, reasonable common charges that typically include heat and hot water, and a managing super. Policies are relatively flexible for a prewar building: pets are allowed, pieds-à-terre, guarantors, and co-purchasing are possible; subletting is typically permitted after two years subject to board approval. The building offers no elevator and minimal on-site parking; street parking and public transportation are the primary options. Located at the junction of Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill, the property sits steps from Smith and Court Street retail, Trader Joe’s, restaurants, gyms and multiple subway lines, positioning it for an active neighborhood lifestyle.
