Property Description for 451 Decatur Street, TWH

Adorable Queen Anne townhouse with a porch framed by decorative columns and a front garden for sale in booming Bedford-Stuyvesant! This property was completely renovated 5 years ago and comes with 2 separate units: a garden rental apartment (1 bedroom + 1 bath) and an owner's upper duplex (3 bedrooms + 2 bathrooms). The garden rental apartment is in good condition and has direct access to the garden where you can sunbath, barbecue and relax. This unit has also direct access to the finished basement that could be used as a recreational room. The living room comes with floor to ceiling bay windows facing South and an exposed white brick wall . The kitchen is open on the living room and comes with granite countertops, gas stove and dishwasher. There is also an additional room behind the kitchen that could be used either as a dining room or an office. The windowed bathroom and bedroom are facing the quiet garden. The staircase leading to the owners' upper duplex allows the light to flood in. The kitchen with a white brick wall is open on the living room and comes with granite countertops, gas stove, dishwasher and washer and dryer. There are also 2 additional skylights in the living room allowing the light to flood the space and visually enhance the living room and kitchen turning it into a very pleasant living space. There is a full bathroom with a tub for your family and guests off the living room. The master bedroom is also on this floor with a closet and an ensuite bathroom with a shower. There are also 2 additional bright bedrooms with closets on the third floor. Last but not least, the garden is accessible through the walkway along the house. So if you live in the upper duplex you can also access and enjoy the garden! Both apartments are in good condition. Only cosmetic work such as painting and plastering are needed in both units. This house is the perfect investment for a first time buyer or someone who does not want to go through the lengthly and costly process of a complete renovation. This property is sold as is and is located between Patchen and Ralph Avenues 7 minutes away from the A or C trains at Utica Avenue or the C train at Ralph Avenue. The size of the house is 18 ft x 35 ft on a 20 ft x 100 ft lot. If you wish to expand the house, there is a substantial amount of FAR that can be built up. Check the numbers with your architect.

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.
