442 50th Street

Built in 1901, this classic three-story, 20' wide two-family Brooklyn brownstone is in excellent condition and offers serene living in the vibrant neighborhood of Sunset Park. Its flexibility is one of its finest features. Currently used as an income-producing two family, it can be lived in comfortably as is, or easily converted to a large single-family home. This impressive townhouse sits on a 20'x100' lot and has a spacious garden duplex for the owner and a high income rental apartment on the top floor. The ceilings are high, the light is lovely, and the 40' south garden, with its beautiful magnolia tree, has plenty of room for gardening and relaxing. The house still has many of its original turn-of the-century details including a gorgeous decorative fireplace, handsome pocket doors, and detailed plaster ceilings. The basement offers very usable space, and is the full footprint of the house with good ceiling height.
