Property Description for 223 Chauncey Street

Offer accepted. Dating from 1901, this complete gut-renovated two-family Federal brick home features high-end finishes, split level cooling and heating, exposed brick throughout, and beautiful white oak flooring. 223 Chauncey offers a spacious owner's triplex with a studio apartment and is 19 feet wide by almost 48 feet long. It features in total 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a powder room, and a light-filled backyard. The renovation has been careful and focused, preserving a nod to the past with exposed brick highlighting the original fireplaces, while allowing all of the conveniences, such as efficient Navien tankless water heaters and split level systems, expected from today's living. The sizeable vestibule allows a common space for shoes and coats, with the studio apartment to the left. Continuing to the owner's triplex, the parlor floor has 10.5' ceilings which allow light to radiate from the central stairway skylight throughout. The open floor plan features a modern kitchen, separate dining area, and a living space, as well as a powder room and coat closet added for convenience. The thoughtfully designed kitchen has custom cabinetry, Carrara quartz countertops, and high-end appliances including a Smart refrigerator, five-burner stove, and Bosch dishwasher. Climbing the stairs, you will find three bedrooms and two full baths, again with 10' high ceilings. The elegant master bedroom overlooks the peaceful backyard garden and has three windows for abundant natural light, as well as an ample walk-in closet. The master bath is adorned with slate-colored porcelain tiled floors, a large sink, and a glass-enclosed shower with hexagon flooring. As you head down the hall you will pass the beautiful second bathroom inlaid with large oxide iron matte tiles and a closet for W/D hookup. At the front of the house lie the two remaining bedrooms which also have beautiful exposed brick and optional furniture closet systems. The separate parlor floor studio has a modern kitchen with a dishwasher and large bathroom. It can serve as an income-producing rental unit, guest quarters, or family in-law apartment. The English private basement can be conveniently accessed through an interior staircase or from under the front stoop, and is nicely finished with exposed white brick walls and poured concrete with an industrial finish. This bonus space can easily be transformed into a media room, home office, and additional storage space with an optional W/D hookup. The house also has additional usable FAR of 2,220sf! 223 Chauncey lies on a pretty, tree-lined street in the heart of Stuyvesant Heights. It is an easy 5-minute walk to the A express train at Utica, taking one to Lower Manhattan in 15 minutes. It is also around the corner from cafes such as Milk & Pull and restaurant favorites like Chez Oscar; Trad Room; L'Antagoniste; and Nana Ramen; Halsey Trader's Market (grocery); Brooklyn-renowned Saraghina and Peaches; and The Wilky Bar and Blink Fitness. Saratoga Park is a short walk, and JFK Airport is a quick 20min drive. Come make this turnkey home yours today! Note: first-time buyers may qualify for a $5,000 closing credit if financing with certain lenders.

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.
