Hidden on a quiet, almost secret stretch of Brooklyn Heights, a carriage house that rarely sees the market has quietly popped up for nearly $5.8 million.<\/p>\n

On a secret street where homes seldom trade, a 125-year-old relic of New York\u2019s horse-and-buggy era is up for grabs.<\/p>\n

Nestled behind a tucked-away block that most New Yorkers don\u2019t know exists, a 19th-century carriage house in Brooklyn Heights has just landed on the market for $5.795 million.<\/p>\n

The property at 28 College Place sits on a private, landscaped mews just off Love Lane, a cobblestoned sliver of old New York that has barely changed since horse-drawn carriages were still a mode of transportation. It remains one of the few hidden streets that only houses carriage homes.<\/p>\n

\"Tucked<\/p>\n

Tucked along the cobblestone mews of College Place off Love Lane \u2014 a block where homes barely ever trade \u2014 No. 28 is a circa-1899 former stable. Compass<\/p>\n

Built around 1899, the two-story structure stretches 2,640 square feet and retains nearly everything original \u2014 tin ceilings, hardwood floors, cast iron radiators, hay doors, transoms, and ornate moldings that date to the building\u2019s working-stable days. This is not a gut renovation dressed up in vintage clothing.\u00a0The place is authentically, stubbornly old.<\/p>\n

Three bedrooms and 1.5 baths are spread across the two floors, with a full kitchen and dining area anchored by a center island. The ground floor is wide open and can serve as a garage, art studio, or whatever a buyer with imagination dreams up. Skylights and oversized windows flood the interior with natural light.<\/p>\n

The home last sold in 2005. Its most recent owner, Robert \u201cRob\u201d Iannucci \u2014 a retired New York attorney, motorsports figure and preservationist \u2014 passed away in December at 80.<\/p>\n

What sets it apart isn\u2019t just the address, but how much of it is still intact: original carriage and hay doors, tin ceilings, worn-in hardwood floors and cast-iron radiators that give it a true time-capsule feel. Compass<\/p>\n

\"Jack<\/p>\n

Jack Elliot Heard, who represents the listing, says the property is essentially \u201cfrozen in time.\u201d Compass<\/p>\n

College Place itself is the kind of address that rarely appears in any conversation, let alone a real estate listing. A landmarked cul-de-sac in the heart of Brooklyn Heights, it is lined with 19th-century carriage houses and anchored by the boutique Love Lane Mews condominium.<\/p>\n

According to Compass listing agent Jack Elliot Hear, \u201cCollege Place dates back to the mid-1800s as part of the Brooklyn Heights development as a major commuter town to Manhattan,\u201d he told The Post.<\/p>\n

The last carriage house to sell there was at 32 College Place, which sold in 2022 for $6.45 million. Prior, it had been held by the same owner since 2009.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe carriage houses were built to store stables, carriages and staff members. Being tucked away, hidden and becoming a Landmarked District in 1965, it is one of the enclaves of Brooklyn Heights that has frozen in time and is now home to some of the most special homes that not just Brooklyn, but New York City has to offer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"In<\/p>\n

In a neighborhood full of historic homes, this one leans all the way in \u2014 largely untouched and full of character \u2014 which is exactly why these properties rarely come up for sale. Google Maps<\/p>\n

The location punches above its quiet reputation. Brooklyn Bridge Park and the Promenade are nearby, Montague Street\u2019s shops and restaurants are a short walk, and the Clark and Court Street subway stations put midtown Manhattan a single stop away.<\/p>\n

Heard, who holds the listing alongside colleagues Heema Khedr and Scotty Brand, says the broader neighborhood has hit a new gear.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrooklyn Heights real estate has never been hotter. College Place is one of those addresses that locals talk about differently \u2014 the history, the privacy and the charm. It\u2019s what people dream about,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdd an 1800s carriage house to the conversation and it really is in a league of its own. Opportunities like this don\u2019t come up too often.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hidden on a quiet, almost secret stretch of Brooklyn Heights, a carriage house that rarely sees the market…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,11198,100,6748,99,82846,31819,82845,2383,82847,9,24,63,82848],"class_list":{"0":"post-208967","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brooklyn","8":"tag-brooklyn","9":"tag-brooklyn-bridge","10":"tag-brooklyn-headlines","11":"tag-brooklyn-heights","12":"tag-brooklyn-news","13":"tag-carriage-homes","14":"tag-carriage-house","15":"tag-college-place","16":"tag-compass","17":"tag-hardwood-floors","18":"tag-new-york","19":"tag-new-york-city","20":"tag-nyc","21":"tag-tin-ceilings"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
