Property Description for 275 Skillman Street

On a classic tree-lined Brooklyn block, this four-story, pre-war house represents an incredible opportunity to possess a wonderful income-generating property, or the chance to craft a perfect dream home in one of the most vibrant, up-and-coming neighborhoods in the borough. The building is in estate condition and currently configured as five separate apartments. The garden floor is a spacious one-bedroom, one-bathroom flat with access to the generously proportioned backyard. It also includes a windowed kitchen along with an additional room that can be utilized as a second bedroom, den or home office. The first floor apartment—another one-bedroom, one-bathroom—features an entry foyer, large closet space, and a windowed kitchen of its own. The second floor consists of two complete studio apartments, while the top floor is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit with an entry foyer, walk-in closet, and two additional large closets. Spanning 3,100 square feet of living space, the rear of the house has southern exposures welcoming in natural light throughout the day. The backyard, laid with stone slate, contains a brick-lined garden and is perfect for sunbathing, a reading break, or a dinner with friends, family, and guests. There’s also a basement for additional storage. New owners are encouraged to explore the endless renovation possibilities. Update all five rentals, create an owner’s duplex with four additional units, or reconfigure the house into a gigantic single-family home. The property sits steps away from the best Brooklyn has to offer. There’s an eclectic, exciting mix of restaurants, cafes, bars, shopping and nightlife on nearby Myrtle Avenue, while the G train stops a block and a half away, providing quick access to the rest of the borough and beyond.

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn

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.
