Rare opportunity to make this grand & historic 4-Story brownstone your own. Measuring 20' wide x 45' deep on a 100' deep lot. Impressive original details throughout, including gorgeous wood flooring, beautiful woodwork, plaster moldings, mantles, stately pier mirrors and a bay window on every floor. Currently used as a double-duplex. The existing layout allows for a well-appointed, spacious owner's 2-bedroom, 2 bathroom lower duplex and a massive upper 5-bedroom duplex with high rental income potential.

The garden floor has a large front bedroom with fabulous Victorian plasterwork. It is connected to a middle room that is currently used for storage. The eat-in-kitchen is on the rear of this floor.

The parlor level is a masterpiece in Victorian details with 3 pier mirrors and elaborate woodwork. The front parlor is extra deep, with plenty of room for entertaining with a living room and a full home office set up too. A set of oversized pocket doors open on to the master bedroom. It has a full bath en suite. The upper duplex consists of 5 bedrooms, 2 rooms that could be used as home offices, an open plan kitchen and living room, two full baths and an extra kitchenette. There is plenty of room for storage in the basement, which also houses the mechanicals. They were upgraded in 2004 which is when the home, including its electric and plumbing, was updated.

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.
