Description

location, location, location!! This well maintained three family home has been lovingly cared for by the same family for over four decades. Filled with original details, the building spans over 4300 square feet over a total of 4 floors.

Currently set up as a first floor duplex apartment with access to a lovely backyard and a second and third floor floor thru. Ceiling height tops off at 11 Feet on the parlour level, 10'5" on the second floor, 9'6" on the third floor, and a comfortable 7'9" on the lower basement level.

The spacious floor plans still retain some well preserved original details. Exposed brick, multiple marble fireplace mantles, inlaid hardwood floors, tin ceiling details, crown moldings, and a beautiful original staircase with perfectly preserved embossed wallpaper give the home incredible character. The good bones enable a multitude of design possibilities. Homeowners can create their dream home on over four floors for a magnificent single family and investors can seize the opportunity to update the current floorplan in one of the most valuable zip codes in all of Brooklyn.

Located on the cusp of Greenpoint and Williamsburg on a picturesque tree lined block this home is in the center of it all. A diverse selection of restaurants, cafes, and trendy retail stores are located moments from your doorstep. Mccarren park can be seen from the sidewalk and the G and L trains are both a very short distance making for a simple commute.

    "The dog park is pretty well maintained and friendly people and dogs mostly. Great pet supply stores and some shops have dog ice cream and dog beer. Always ask if a dog is friendly first and be a little bit more wary of people walking their dogs who are irresponsible and delusional about their dogs being aggressive. "
