Property Description for 494 Warren Street
494 Warren - a grand, 20-foot-wide Greek Revival-period townhouse on a leafy, tree-lined street in historic Boerum Hill with a lush, enchanting backyard with peach and cherry trees, grape vines, and blueberry and raspberry bushes.
This stately legal 4-unit residence, currently configured as a 3-unit home, features an owner’s triplex with central air that spans the finished basement, garden-level and parlor floors. The inviting parlor features high ceilings, built-in shelving, and a bright, airy floor plan ideal for entertaining and spacious living with large, open living and dining rooms, one bathroom and a windowed kitchen. Dine, barbecue or just enjoy some respite on the spacious deck which leads down to the gardens. The backyard is also host to a large, weather-proof vaulted walk-in shed that can be used for additional storage. The garden level contains a second bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and separate shower, 2 bedrooms and a small bonus room, while the finished basement features a large recreational room and a spacious laundry and ironing room.
The top two floors each feature full-floor, spacious, separately metered Junior-4 apartments, with side rooms that can alternatively serve as a nursery, study, walk-in closet or spare bedroom.
The property is an ideal investment for a developer or home owner that may wish to expand, as it has an additional 1,721 of unused buildable square feet with R6 zoning according to city records (subject to building codes and restrictions).
Close to the vibrant and trendy restaurant and shopping district on Smith Street and the Barclays Center, this quiet one-block stretch of Warren Street remains isolated from noise and traffic and maintains a wonderful sense of community. It has close proximity to the F & G subway lines at the Bergen Street station and the 2,3,4,5,N,Q,R,D,B lines at the Atlantic Barclays Center station entrance on 4th Avenue and Pacific.
While this classical residence – reminiscent of old Brooklyn – has been tenderly cared for by its owners, the future of 494 Warren beckons as it continues its journey through time into the borough's 21st century renaissance.

Boerum Hill | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill.
Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.
The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
