It has been occupied by the same owners for the last 24 years who constantly made improvements and updates over the last 2.5 decades. It is truly an oasis in Brooklyn. In a time when private outdoor space is one of the most sought-after amenities, 228 Powers delivers more than almost any property on the market today.
The 2-story home is positioned 60 feet back from the street. The front yard is over 1,500 square feet and includes plenty of room for parking. It is separated from the street by a 25 iron fence.

This building is incredibly solid. No creaking floors or stairs! There is central air conditioning and the boiler is only 3 years old. All of the front-facing windows are 6 tall and provide incredible amounts of natural light.
The first floor features a massive bright dining room, a customized oak & granite kitchen (including a dishwasher & alkaline water faucet), 2 full renovated bathrooms, and a large bedroom. Make your way up the solid oak staircase to the 2nd floor where you will find 3 more bedrooms and another full bathroom. There are massive closets all over the house and there is a central-vacuum system on each floor!
The finished basement is over 700SF and features a large office, full bathroom, kitchenette, boiler room, laundry room, plenty of storage, and exits to the front and back yards. The back yard is over 150SF. This place has it all. As a busy real estate agent in the area, Ive seen thousands of buildings. This home is a cut above the rest. You must see it with your own eyes to truly appreciate all of the work that was put into it. The sellers are motivated, and this property is priced to trade quickly.

East Williamsburg | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
East Williamsburg is a mixed industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn, with many working factories that make everything from beer and wontons to clothing and concrete. You are likely to hear screeching, pounding and the deep thump of industrial machinery throughout the day. East Williamsburg has become a haven for artists and musicians of every description, who are attracted to the large open loft spaces of the converted industrial buildings. The area has attracted a younger crowd of 20- and 30-somethings that are drawn by affordable rents and a generally lower cost of living.
There is a rich history of immigrants from Puerto Rico and Italy, and oddly enough, they chose to settle on opposite ends of Graham Avenue, with the Italians on the north and the Puerto Ricans on the south.
Housing in the area consists of mid-rise apartment buildings, row houses, and public housing complexes. There are also smaller multi-family apartment buildings available. Lofts are becoming more prevalent as the older, abandoned factory buildings come up for sale and are converted into residential properties.
East Williamsburgfairly pulses with a creative vibe. There are unique shopping venues, numerous tiny coffee shops, interesting restaurants, and cafes, along with food trucks that frequent the area. The grocery stores are affordable and carry a wide variety of goods that appeal to the eclectic tastes of the neighborhood residents.
There is a vibrant bar scene, where you will find mostly local residents imbibing, so it is easy to make friends among your neighbors if you stop in frequently at your favorite watering hole. There are many interesting shops, bars and restaurants tucked in amongst the warehouses and factories. Many do not invest in elaborate signage, so it can be difficult to find some of the best spots. Keep an eye out for hand-painted signs on the sides of buildings with arrows pointing to nondescript, nearly invisible entrances.
