102 Vanderbilt Ave

Welcome to 102 Vanderbilt Avenue, an impressive home in Brooklyn's most sought-after Fort Greene neighborhood. This well-cared-for property is 22 feet wide and was built in 1905. It has a glorious front porch flanked by columns topped with Egytoid capitals and wide plank wood floors throughout. In the early 1900s pattern makers who worked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard resided here. Today it is configured as a 3 family home and offers a unique opportunity for an owner to live in the beautifully appointed 3 bedroom duplex while collecting rent from the lower 2 units or for a savvy investor with a CAP rate of just under 5%. Occupying the top two floors of the home is an immaculate owner's duplex, where delicate natural light streams into each room, creating an enchanting quality throughout the entirety of the space. The first level of the duplex unit includes a chic, bright living room with adjoining office. Both rooms have been perfectly appointed with functional built-ins to optimize space and aesthetic. A farmhouse-inspired eat-in kitchen is a beautiful focal of the home and leads to a private, large deck off the kitchen, providing the perfect spot for al fresco dining and relaxation. This floor also includes an updated half bath with washer and dryer for added convenience. Ascending to the home's top floor, you'll discover two equally sized bedrooms with original details. A large, windowed dressing room towards the front of the residence is versatile and can be used as an additional bedroom or office space, and a large, tastefully updated full bathroom completes the top floor, adding a touch of modern elegance. A 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit occupies the parlor floor. This apartment features dramatic high ceilings, a large living room with a decorative fireplace, original pocket doors, a large, functional eat-in kitchen, and a king-sized bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and laundry. The bedroom leads directly to a deep backyard replete with stone pavers, a pergola and a built-in brick workspace where one could place a grill, store wood and utilize outdoor counter space to entertain. At approximately 900 square feet, this unit can be left as-is or combined with the owner's duplex for buyers interested in more living space. This unit is currently occupied and rented for $4,450 per/month. On the home's garden level, you will find a spacious nearly 900 SF, 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom apartment with a private entrance, dedicated laundry, and a large bonus room currently utilized as an office. Full-size windows allow light to flow into the unit and highlight the beautiful original wood flooring observed throughout the home.
