Priced to sell - Beautiful vacant 4-story 3-unit brownstone located on one of the most sought after blocks in Bedford-Stuyvesant. This legal 3-family property comes with an owners' duplex featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and 2 floor through apartments on the second and third floors. All apartments are in good condition and come with wood floors, chef's kitchens, renovated bathrooms, washer and dryer in the unit, soaring ceilings on the parlor floor and tons of natural light. All exquisite original and architectural details have been preserved such as 5 decorative fireplaces, original staircase, crown moldings, shutters... Only cosmetic touches are needed as the entire property was completely renovated in 2010. Each apartment has its own gas boiler and water heater and is metered separately for gas and electric.

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
