Overview
Classic Brooklyn Three-Family Townhouse
Located where Ocean Hill meets Bedford Stuyvesant, 108 Rockaway Avenue is a meticulously maintained three-family brick townhouse on a tree-lined block. Constructed in 1920, this residence offers approximately 2,634 square feet of living space across three levels, plus a basement with a bathroom. The property features three full-floor apartments: two three-bedroom, one-bath units, and one two-bedroom, one-bath unit, all with high ceilings and natural light. The finished basement includes a half bath, laundry area, mechanicals, and storage space, suitable for recreation, office space, or a duplex expansion with the first-floor unit. The first-floor apartment has direct access to a private rear yard. The building is configured with four electric meters and three gas meters, allowing tenants to manage their own utilities. The property has been structurally maintained, providing a foundation for immediate occupancy and future upgrades. The location is near the C train at Rockaway Avenue, the J/Z lines at Chauncey Street, and the Broadway Junction hub connecting to the A, C, J, Z, and L trains, providing access to Downtown Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, and JFK Airport. The surrounding neighborhood features local cafés, eateries, and businesses such as Daily Press Coffee, Cuts & Slices, Lady Moo Moo Ice Cream, Sonora, and Brooklyn Blend. Nearby parks and community gardens include Marion Hopkinson Playground and Ralph Community Garden. The property offers potential for strong cash flow, owner-occupancy with rental income, and increased yield through cosmetic updates, enhanced finishes, or a first-floor duplex conversion.
