Property Description for 35 Melrose Street
Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, 35 Melrose Street presents a rare opportunity to own a two-story Brooklyn residence with generous proportions, original architectural details, and substantial outdoor space.
Built in 1899 and held by the same owners since 1971, the property offers approximately 1,725 square feet of above-grade interior space across two floors, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two kitchens, living and dining rooms, and additional flexible room space. High ceilings, hardwood floors, decorative moldings, a decorative fireplace, and period details throughout reflect the home's original character, while a full basement provides approximately 750 additional square feet of excluded area.
The home sits on a 20' x 95' lot totaling approximately 1,900 square feet, with a deep rear yard and patio providing considerable private outdoor space. Recent improvements include a roof and electrical system, both approximately five years old.
Transportation options are close at hand including the nearby Myrtle Avenue JMZ station, providing direct subway service into Manhattan.
The property is zoned R6 and currently utilizes a 0.84 FAR, compared with a residential FAR of 2.2 and facility FAR of 4.8. Please note: buyers interested in the property's development or expansion potential should independently verify zoning, allowable floor area, and permitted uses with their architect and appropriate professionals.
Annual real estate taxes are approximately $1,885 before any applicable abatements.
The property will be delivered vacant.

Bushwick | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
As one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York, Bushwick offers a perfect snapshot of just how multicultural the city is. Long-established as an amalgam of cultures and ethnicities, a wave of varying types of immigrants trickled in from the seventeenth to twentieth centuries, with Bushwick largely becoming a home to Hispanics of Puerto Rican and Dominican backgrounds by the latter part of the twentieth century.
With the Bushwick Initiative of the mid-00s that aided in revitalization, it became an attractive area to young professionals and artists. And even now, Bushwick has sustained affordable rent prices where other North Brooklyn counterparts, like Williamsburg and Greenpoint, have become more expensive. Priding itself on the weird and the wacky, numerous art collectives thrive in this part of Brooklyn, once famously named the seventh coolest neighborhood in the world by Vogue.
Though it has drawn in many tourists in recent years (there’s even a graffiti tour you can take from the Bushwick Collective), the neighborhood remains very much community-oriented, and has not been subject to quite the same sort of corporate infiltration phenomenon of its nearby Williamsburg environs.
But yes, of course, Bushwick has come a very long way from its 80s and 90s reputation as being “The Well,” a nickname given to it for its free-flowing and widely available amount of drugs (quantity over quality being the cliche applied here).
