Original details are preserved throughout, including fireplaces, crown moldings, and pocket doors. The layout can be reconfigured entirely to suit a buyer's own vision.
Delivered vacant, this property is ideal for an end user or investor ready to bring their own architect and design team to unlock its full potential.
The location puts you within reach of everything that makes this pocket of Brooklyn so sought-after. Nostrand and Bedford Avenues are lined with neighborhood coffee shops, bakeries, and some of Bed-Stuy's most talked-about restaurants and bars. Fitness and recreation are close by too, with the Bedford-Stuyvesant YMCA just a few blocks away. For transportation, you're well served by the G train at Bedford-Nostrand Avenues and the A/C at Nostrand Avenue, putting Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn within easy reach.
With generous proportions and classic prewar character still intact, 343 Gates Avenue is a true blank slate in a neighborhood defined by architectural charm and strong long-term value. This is a project for the buyer who sees potential where others see work. Bring your vision and make it your own.
Quick Profile
Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood.
Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue.
At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
