Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This semi-detached 4-family brick building is built on an oversized 30-by-100 lot with a 20-by-55 building footprint. The property includes a finished full basement and a built-in garage, along with a spacious side yard and backyard. A 10-foot private driveway provides on-site parking convenience.

The building is configured with a duplex on the first floor, a 3-bedroom apartment on the second floor, and two one-bedroom apartments on the third floor. Each unit has a separate living room, dining room, and kitchen. The site has mixed zoning designated as C1-3 and R6B, which can support flexibility for potential conversion of the building in whole or in part, subject to architect review and NYC approvals.

For buyers, investors, or owner-occupants, the current multi-unit layout offers multiple apartment sizes within one property, including two one-bedroom units plus larger configurations upstairs. The mixed zoning provides an added consideration for operators evaluating possible alternate uses, while the private driveway, garage, and finished basement add practical everyday space for residents or tenants.

Key Highlights

  • Semi‑detached 4‑family brick building built in 1905 with a finished full basement
