Property Description for 176 10th Street
Welcome to 176 10th street, Brooklyn NY !
A Rare Gowanus Townhouse with Original Brooklyn Character & an Exceptional Backyard. Behind a classic Brooklyn facade on a quiet, one-way stretch of 10th Street, this charming three-bedroom single-family townhouse offers something increasingly rare: a home of your own, rich with original character, an exceptionally deep lot, and a backyard that feels like a true urban escape.
Located between 2nd and 3rd Avenues in the heart of Gowanus, the home offers approximately 1,160 square feet of interior living space, plus an additional approximately 520-square-foot basement, all set on an impressive 100-foot-deep lot.
Inside, original tin ceilings lend warmth, texture, and unmistakable Brooklyn charm throughout the home. The entry level unfolds through a series of distinct and inviting spaces, beginning with the living room and continuing into a separate dining room, mudroom, and kitchen - a wonderfully traditional layout that allows each room to have its own sense of place.
At the rear, the kitchen is equipped with a gas cooktop/range and Frigidaire Gallery French-door refrigerator, but its greatest feature may be what lies just beyond it. Step directly outside to an extraordinary two-tiered backyard offering approximately 628 square feet of private outdoor space. Generous in scale and full of possibility, the yard is made for long summer dinners, weekend gatherings, gardening, lounging, and entertaining. Create an outdoor dining room just off the kitchen, a lush garden retreat beyond, or simply enjoy the luxury of having this much private open space in the middle of Brooklyn.
Upstairs, the home's three bedrooms are thoughtfully removed from the entertaining level below, creating a private and peaceful retreat. Two windowed bathrooms bring in natural light, while a classic pedestal sink adds another note of vintage character. Multiple exposures invite sunlight from different directions throughout the day, giving the interiors a bright, warm quality and reinforcing the feeling of a true standalone home. The approximately 520-square-foot basement adds another layer of functionality, offering substantial additional space along with the convenience of an in-home washing machine.
And then there is Gowanus itself. Perfectly positioned between the creative energy of Gowanus and the enduring charm of neighboring Park Slope, this 10th Street home puts some of Brooklyn's best dining, shopping, culture, and neighborhood conveniences within easy reach - while still offering the privacy and breathing room of townhouse living.
Original tin ceilings. Three bedrooms. Two windowed baths. A 100-foot-deep lot. An oversized two-tiered backyard. Multiple exposures. And an entire single-family home in one of Brooklyn's most exciting neighborhoods.
Not simply an apartment with outdoor space, but a true Brooklyn house - full of character, possibility, and room to make it entirely your own.

Gowanus | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Gowanus is a colorful neighborhood with an industrial aesthetic, tree-lined streets, historic structures, as well as luxury condos and rental buildings. It has a great art scene, fantastic eateries and bars and a 1.8-mile canal that snakes through most of the neighborhood. The variety of elements make it a desirable place to live.
The neighborhood is on the crest of a major change due to a recently passed rezoning plan that will allow more residential construction. Especially around the Gowanus Canal where construction was once prohibited. The plan will bring new jobs, affordable housing, and create a neighborhood with walkable green spaces and amenities. It’s safe to say that change is coming to Gowanus.
Gowanus is bounded by Hoyt Street to the west, 4th Avenue to the east, Warren Street, Baltic Street and Wycoff Street to the north, and Gowanus Expressway to the south.
The neighborhood is named after Gouwane, a chief in the Canarsie Indian tribe. His name, according to the history books, translates to “the sleeper.” Other historic accounts say that the Gowanus name comes from the Dutch word gouwee, which translates to the word bay. Based on early New York History surrounding Dutch settlers and native tribes, both accounts seem plausible.
Gowanus began development as far back as the 1630s when the Dutch arrived. They began building farms and soon realized the marshy lands they settled were not the best for growing crops and farming. They began damming up certain areas of the land with hopes of creating better soil and powering their windmills. This was the beginning of the formation of the Gowanus canal.
The natural estuary was once brimming with oysters and fish. But in the 1800s, the canal was turned into an industrial and transportation waterway. In the mid 1900’s, industrial factories like manufactured gas plants, paper mills, and other businesses opened along the canal and casually polluted the water. It’s cleanup efforts have come a long way but there is still much work to be done.
The newly approved Gowanus rezoning plan has caused lots of buzz this year. Mayor Bill DeBlasio's plan will rezone 82 blocks which will pave the way for an estimated 8,500 new apartments, 3,000 of which would be offered to low and moderate-income New Yorkers. The plan includes major improvements to the local infrastructure. Although the rezoning plan might not create a housing boom today or tomorrow, proponents say the rezoning sets the stage for major growth in Gowanus in the decades to come.
The F, G, D, N, R, and W subway lines service the Gowanus neighborhood.
