225 Wyckoff Street

A Landmarked Townhouse, Configured as a Three-Bedroom Single Residence

Built in 1899 and impeccably renovated, this townhouse occupies a charming, historically landmarked block in the heart of Boerum Hill — a 17 × 100 ft lot in one of Brooklyn's most prized landmark districts. Offered at $4,200,000, it is a legal two-family currently configured as a three-bedroom single-family home: a rare combination of the space, ceiling heights and flow of a full one-family residence on a landmark-district block, with the flexibility of a two-family certificate intact behind it.

The home was taken back to the studs in a complete gut renovation in 2018 — roof, mechanicals, windows and electric all replaced — with the kitchen receiving a full renovation in 2024 and the wood floors refinished that same year. Everything a buyer would otherwise budget for in the coming years has already been done, and the most-used room in the house was updated within the last two years.

The Parlor Floor

The parlor floor is the heart of the home: a spacious living and dining room, opening to an open chef's kitchen appointed with custom cabinetry and professional-grade appliances. Two decorative fireplaces on this floor preserve the home's 1899 character. A deck off the kitchen overlooks the garden — a spacious 46 × 17 ft private backyard, covered in plush artificial turf, that extends the entertaining space for most of the year.

Upper Floor

Upstairs, the primary suite is generously proportioned, with an en-suite bathroom featuring a double vanity and a large walk-in shower. A second bedroom and a second full bathroom complete the upper floor.

Garden Floor

The garden floor was originally a separate apartment within the legal two-family layout and now opens into the residence as part of the single-family home. It offers a spacious children's playroom and home office, a bedroom, and a full bathroom — a self-contained suite that works equally well for guests, an au pair, or extended family.

Lower Level

The fully finished basement adds another full floor of living space — currently configured as a home gym and media room — with a half bath for convenience, along with a full-size washer and vented dryer. It also offers terrific additional storage space, a rare commodity in a townhouse of this vintage.

Two-Family Flexibility

The home previously included a second kitchen, since removed to open the residence into the single-family layout it enjoys today. The plumbing and layout remain in place, so a two-family configuration can be restored — a meaningful option for a buyer weighing income potential, an au pair or in-law suite, or both.
