Property Description for 156 Nevins Street
Built in the late 1860’s in the Greek Revival style, 156 Nevins Street sits in the middle of a tree-lined landmarked block in the heart of Boerum Hill. This sun-filled 2-family brick townhouse is configured as a single-family home with two full baths and three bedrooms, and the potential for a fourth large bedroom. The garden floor features an open plan kitchen and dining area which steps out to a sunny backyard, with a bucolic view down the center of the block. A convenient pantry off the kitchen artfully conceals stairs to a full cellar. Upstairs, the parlor floor is open and lofty with a wood burning fireplace, oak floors, and the original staircase. The top floor features two bedrooms, a full bath, an office, and two more fireplaces.
156 Nevins Street sits at the crossroads of several great Brooklyn neighborhoods. The shops, restaurants and attractions of Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Park Slope and Downtown Brooklyn are all within just a few blocks. For transportation to Manhattan and the rest of the city this location cannot be beat! The B65 bus stops at the corner. The 2, 3, 4, 5 trains are nearby at Nevins and Flatbush, and Atlantic Terminal provides access to the B, D, N, R, Q and LIRR trains just a few blocks away. The F and G subways are three blocks away on Smith Street. The A and C trains are also close by at Hoyt – Schermerhorn.

Boerum Hill | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill.
Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.
The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
