Currently configured as a three-family, this legal two-family home awaits a new owner ready to reimagine its spaces and infuse it with fresh life. Whether you choose to modernize the layout, restore its original charm, or craft something entirely new, the possibilities are as boundless as your creativity.
The garden level has been fully renovated into a sleek, modern one-bedroom apartment with a private garden entrance, offering an excellent opportunity for rental income. Photo's of kitchen and bathroom are of the garden rental. Meanwhile, the parlor floor, rich with original details, features a living room, dining room, pantry, den, bedroom, and a kitchen that leads to your private back deck. Paired with the second floor-with a similar layout and character-it forms the perfect foundation for a beautiful owner's duplex.
This is more than just a home-it's a canvas, rich with potential. The story of 1636 11th Avenue isn't finished yet, and perhaps the next chapter begins with you.
Quick Profile
The tiny, comma-shaped neighborhood of Windsor Terrace is bookended between two of Brooklyn’s largest green spaces, Prospect Park and the massive Green-Wood cemetery. Aside from the presence of the Prospect Park Expressway, which dissects the neighborhood in two, this residential community offers a suburban sensibility with its tree-lined streets, low volume traffic and the low height character of its streetscape.
Many homes in the area are low to the ground, lending a suburban feel to the neighborhood, and the area has been down-zoned to maintain its low-rise appeal and character. There are plentiful brick row houses that have very low turnover. If you are lucky enough to buy or rent one, you tend to hold on to it. There are also small apartment buildings, private homes, condos and multi-family homes in a wide price range
There is commercial development along Prospect Park West, Fort Hamilton Parkway and Prospect Avenue, but even these new stores and restaurants are mostly family-owned and operated, maintaining the small-town charm. The pace of life is slower. The schools are good, which is a big draw for families with young children. The people are friendly, which gives a real sense of neighborhood and community to Windsor Terrace.
