Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This renovated four-story three-family brownstone offers three separate apartments within a classic Brooklyn building. The owner’s unit combines the first and second floors into one expansive space, and the owner is moving out. The third-floor apartment is currently vacant and includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom with a shower, a living room, and a kitchen. The fourth-floor apartment is tenant-occupied on a year-to-year lease. The entire property has been thoughtfully renovated inside and out, maintaining the brownstone character while providing updated finishes throughout. The home is offered for sale as-is, with no warranties or representations.
The property is located at 819 Union Street in Brooklyn, NY 11215, and is identified under zoning R6A. Public remarks note proximity to local shopping and dining, with convenient access to multiple subway options, including the R train at Union St, the B and Q trains at 7th Avenue, the 2 and 3 trains at Grand Army Plaza, and Atlantic Ave–Barclays Center for additional B and Q service. Viewings require appointment, and the fourth floor is currently occupied.
For buyers and investors seeking a renovated multi-family in a brownstone format, the mix of layouts provides flexibility, with one apartment vacant and ready for occupancy planning while another remains in place under a year-to-year lease. The combined first- and second-floor arrangement may also appeal to an owner-occupant looking for additional space across floors. Current conditions and the as-is sale should be factored into underwriting and any future updates.
