Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This four-story brownstone, originally built in the 1860s and located in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, offers a versatile living arrangement. The building has a certificate of occupancy as a 4-family home, dated 2020. Updates were made in 2019, including new plumbing and electric across all four floors. The current configuration includes an owner’s triplex comprising the garden level, parlor floor, and half of the third floor, with easy access to a full cellar. A studio apartment, delivered vacant, occupies the other half of the third floor. The top floor contains two units sharing a hall bath; one will be delivered vacant, and the other with a rent-stabilized tenant. The owner’s triplex features an open kitchen with high ceilings and large windows, and a glass door opens to a terrace overlooking a 54-foot deep backyard. The property is zoned C4-4D G, allowing for construction of over 10,000 residential square feet. The building comes with a Certificate of No Harassment issued in 2025. Located at the crossroads of Boerum Hill, Park Slope, and Downtown Brooklyn, the property is close to restaurants, cafes, boutiques, music venues, and other amenities. The 2, 3, 4, 5, N, Q, R, B, and D trains, as well as the LIRR at Atlantic Terminal, provide convenient access to Manhattan and the rest of the city. With close to 90% of the building delivered vacant, there’s a path for conversion from SRO to free market.
