45 Duffield Street

These special homes rarely come on the market! Live and/or invest on one of Brooklyns quietest and most charming blocks, nestled away on a historic and tree-lined block in Vinegar Hill, easy access to Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, Boerum Hill, Fort Greene, and the Navy Yard. Sitting at 22 wide on a 100 deep lot, this extra wide and super charming brick townhouse is perfect as-is, with three money-making rentals, OR move yourself into a floor or two and collect rent. If you are feeling enterprising, there is also an estimated additional 2000 sq. ft. of buildable square footage, so the possibilities are endless! Nicely maintained by the current owner, the units have been upgraded over the years with the ground floor tenants paying $2500, middle floor paying $2600 and the top floor paying $2900. The house will be delivered vacant (if you want to keep any of the tenants they will happily remain). Market rent for the ground floor is really $3000 as it has a huge garden and an extension. As is, the house will collect an estimated $8500/month of rent. Add upgrades and additional sq. footage and the investment potential will be significantly higher. There are few buildings left with the charm of this home, including wood floors, a brick faade and cornice, and a huge yard with endless gardening potential. The 2nd floor has a deck, and a roofdeck could also be added as well for increased rents. Upgrades throughout include charming and clean kitchens and baths, and a clawfoot tub. There is also a full cellar for storage. The convenient location of this home cannot be rivaledat the base of the Manhattan Bridge it is an easy commute by subway to Manhattan, or by car or foot to every location imaginable including great shopping and restaurants in every direction and an easy onramp to the BQE. Parking is a dream as there are 4 garages within one block, all with monthly spaces available if you decide to call 45 Duffield your new home. Dont miss this very unique opportunity to experience old historic Brooklyn just a stones throw from Manhattan.
