16 Strong Place, Brooklyn, NY 11231

Built in 1872 and currently configured as a four-family residence in very good condition, this historic brownstone offers a rare chance to create something distinctly your own. Set up with rich original architectural detail, the home features soaring ceilings, including approximately 11-foot ceilings on the parlor level, generous interior proportions, a full basement, and a deep private garden. The garden level includes a 13-foot extension, which naturally supports thoughtful redesign possibilities, including the potential for a terrace off the parlor floor as part of a future renovation.

Located on Strong Place, widely regarded as one of the area’s most treasured, picturesque blocks, the setting is known for its tree-lined character and historic residential charm. A playground at the end of the street adds family-friendly appeal, while nearby conveniences at Court and Smith Streets help balance neighborhood quiet with everyday access. The F and G subway lines are also described as providing easy access.

With its exceptional underlying bones and flexible current configuration, the property can be reimagined in multiple ways. Consider converting it into a single-family home, building an owner’s triplex with an income-producing garden floor apartment, or maintaining it as a multi-family investment. Delivered vacant, it is ready for the next owner to bring a clear plan and bring the home’s potential into focus.
