About this House

CONTRACT SIGNED
Options Abound in the South Slope
A rare opportunity to purchase one of 8th Avenue's quaint former shopkeeper's homes. Built in the 1890's and owned by the same family for 67 years, this home needs just about everything but the reward will be well worth the effort! Use your vision to make this home your own rather than paying for someone else's vision--perhaps not to your taste. Bring your contractor/architect.

1208 8th Ave, and the six others in this row of homes, were built with little thought to detail or charm, as live/work spaces with the shop on the ground floor and a back stair to the upper two floors where the shopkeeper and family lived. Most have been turned into charming single family residences. Currently configured as a three family home, this can be used as: an office with one or two apartments above; three apartments; or even a single family home. 1 block to Prospect Park, Bartel Pritchard Farmer's market, surrounded by great restaurants, 1 block to 7th Ave shopping and dining. Three easy blocks to the F/G trains.
1208 8th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215 is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,080 sqft multi-family in Park Slope, built in 1899. It last sold for $1,670,000 on Apr 25, 2017. More recently, it was listed as a rental in June 2024 with an asking price of $4,200 per month. That rental listing was removed on July 5, 2024. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $2,734,000, with a rent estimate of $6,291/month.
