Fully Renovated Four-Family Investment Opportunity with Strong Income Potential

FLOORPLANS + 3D VIRTUAL TOURS OF ALL UNITS AVAILABLE.

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a meticulously renovated four-family brick building offering the perfect combination of immediate cash flow, low maintenance ownership, and long-term investment potential. Every apartment has been thoughtfully updated with modern finishes, allowing a new owner to enjoy a turnkey asset with minimal capital improvements required.

The property consists of four beautifully renovated apartments, featuring a desirable unit mix of two spacious three-bedroom residences on the upper floors and two well-appointed two-bedroom residences on the lower floors. One of the two-bedroom apartments is currently vacant, providing the ideal opportunity for immediate owner occupancy or the ability to lease at current market rents.

Each residence showcases a consistent, contemporary design with:

Recently renovated modern kitchens featuring updated cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures
Stylish renovated bathrooms with contemporary finishes
Beautiful wood flooring throughout
Energy-efficient mini-split heating and air conditioning systems in every apartment
Bright, functional layouts designed for comfortable everyday living

In addition to the residential units, the building offers a partially finished basement with a separate entrance, providing valuable bonus space with excellent flexibility for storage, recreation, workspace, or future possibilities (subject to local regulations and approvals).

The property is further enhanced by an enclosed front yard, creating an attractive buffer from the street while adding curb appeal and a welcoming entrance for residents.

My children also commute back and forth on the trains and buses to get to school, activities and even on the weekends to spend time with tripwire families. "

    "Brownsville/East New York is Changing for the better!!! Buyers are now realizing that you can buy a big, beautiful older home, usually with parking, driveway/garage and still be close to the 3/4 train for easy access to north Brooklyn or Manhattan. Many of the homes also have balconies, rare finds in Brooklyn. I live in Manhattan for years and decided to buy a home here. I highly recommend looking in Brownsville/ENY area. "
