Property Description for 681 Saint Marks Ave
STUNNING INCOME-PRODUCING TOWNHOUSE WITH GARDEN UNIT IN PRIME BROOKLYN LOCATION
Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn, 681 Saint Marks Avenue beckons with an air of timeless sophistication and contemporary allure. This meticulously maintained Crown Heights townhouse, built in 1931, spans four floors, featuring a triplex plus a garden apartment that presents an exciting income-producing opportunity. The garden unit, which can be delivered ready-to-rent and fully furnished, has the potential to command $3800 per month.
The property boasts a generous 20-foot width, a 20’ by 95’ lot, and received a new Certificate of Occupancy in 2023, affirming its status as a 2-family residence. The interior, spanning 3,466 square feet (excluding the finished basement), reveals a seamless blend of historical charm and modern amenities. With six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, including a primary bath with a free-standing tub, the living spaces exude a sense of luxury and comfort. A wood-burning fireplace graces the living room, adding warmth and character.
The kitchen, a culinary haven, showcases white oak floors, Quartzite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. A large open kitchen/dining/living space invites gatherings, complemented by ample cabinet space.
In addition to the full gut renovation completed in 2022 by the previous developer, the current owner also further optimized the property in 2023. These enhancements, including the installation of Daikin HVAC, a new wall-length glass door, meticulous landscaping by Field Form, and the noteworthy fact that the appraisal in 2022 exceeds the current asking price, not only enhance the townhouse's charm but also reflect its exceptional value. This underscores the commitment to maintaining the highest standards of living and solidifies its position as an outstanding investment opportunity.
Venture outdoors to discover a professionally landscaped garden, a serene retreat bathed in sunlight. The south-facing house offers stunning views of the street and neighborhood, while the cellar, finished with tile, serves as a versatile space for storage or leisure.
Noteworthy extras include a 30-year warranty on the Brooklyn Solar Works solar system, which was installed in October 2023, providing both environmental sustainability and significant savings. Custom-built features, such as floor-to-ceiling bookshelves by Edward Orloff/Rift Cabinetry in the office, add a personalized touch.

Quick Profile
Originally known as Crown Hill by the Lenape Indians that lived there, Crown Heights has evolved into a diverse neighborhood, occupied primarily by Hasidic Jews and one of the largest Caribbean populations to be found anywhere outside of the West Indies.
Head over to Nostrand Avenue, one of the main West Indian commercial areas in the neighborhood, which is lined with stores that have been in those exact same places for generations, providing their goods and services to area residents. Kingston Avenue has similar commercial activities that support the Jewish community, and Franklin Avenue shows the most signs of change and gentrification, with an ever-expanding mix of yoga studios, coffee shops, and organic grocery stores that serve the influx of young professionals. No matter which of these areas you visit, you will find an interesting mix of businesses that you wouldn’t normally picture as existing side-by-side. It is all part of the cultural diversity of Crown Heights.
The neighborhood is bisected, from east to west, by Eastern Parkway, which is a beautiful, 3-mile-long boulevard lined with mature trees. This leafy oasis was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, famed designer of Central Park, the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, and the U. S. Capitol in Washington, D. C.
You will find a mix of low-rise apartment buildings, large middle-class elevator buildings, brownstones, and some luxury buildings. Century-old architecture stands next to modern residential developments in a visually interesting mix of styles, much as the diversity of the residents exists. People who would not normally meet and mix are forging new pathways to cultural understanding by working, living, and playing together in the same neighborhood.
