Property Description for 408 Classon Ave

Built in 1899, 408 Classon Avenue is a dreamy, sun filled home filled with historic charm such as original hard wood floors, crown moldings and fireplace mantles, mixed with the benefits of modern, architecturally designed kitchens and bathrooms. The 2 family, double duplex configuration spans just shy of 3000 square feet, and offers ideal shared access to the basement where you'll find ample room for storage, laundry and the building's new hot water heaters as well as egress to your private back yard garden. Homebuyers looking for the benefits of townhouse living as well as a multifamily investment will enjoy equal living space in both duplexes as well as convenient access to the manicured backyard and laundry/storage in the basement for either or both occupants. Choose to live in either and benefit from the high income of the second unit Come home up the stoop to a shared foyer where you'll find the entrance to the first of the two duplexes. The Parlor's high ceilings come in at whopping 10'10'' and a wide-open continuous flow between the living, dining and kitchen offer a loft like vibe. Tall windows at both ends of the property offer plenty of light all day. Head down the stairs to the two sizable bedrooms and large newly renovated full bathroom. The primary bedroom has immediate garden access. All bedrooms have ample closets. The second duplex starts with access on the parlor level and opens to a sky lit stairwell. This 3rd floor, and main level of the home with high 9'6'' ceilings consists of a large primary bedroom with home office space and 2 large closets. There is a second large, queen sized bedroom facing the backyard. A newly renovated full bathroom completes this floor. Upstairs at the top and most sun flooded level of the property is the large open kitchen with new 1/2 bath and living room with decorative fireplace. This smart separation of space allows you to live and entertain comfortably. 408 Classon Avenue is a one way, tree lined street with ample street parking ideally located between Quincy Street and Lexington Avenue in the Clinton Hill, District 13 section of Brooklyn. Close by are many restaurants like Speedy Romeo, Peaches, Clementine Bakery and of course Pratt Institute and access to the G train and neighbors Fort Greene and Bedford-Stuyvesant.

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn

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.
