Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Set behind a front yard, this unusually wide three-story brownstone offers a flexible two-family configuration with substantial indoor and outdoor space. The home features six bedrooms and three baths, a windowed basement with approximately 8'8" ceiling heights, central air, hardwood floors, and decorative fireplaces. A skylit staircase connects the levels, and the second and third floors include oversized north- and south-facing windows, high ceilings, built-ins, and generous closet space. The home’s first floor is currently arranged as a large one-bedroom apartment, with a front bedroom, large living room, formal dining room, full bath, and an extended rear kitchen measuring over 24 feet. That kitchen, with three exposures, opens to a deck and garden beyond. The upper level includes an eat-in kitchen opening to an expansive roof terrace with wood decking, fencing, and a pergola. The third floor offers three bedrooms, a windowed laundry room, a full bath, and a separate office connected to the rear bedroom, supporting flexible use.

While legally a two-family, the layout can also be reimagined as a substantial single-family residence. Located about one block from Prospect Park West and within close reach of Grand Army Plaza and major Park Slope area amenities, the home places you near 7th Avenue shopping and dining, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and Brooklyn Public Library. WalkScore 94, BikeScore 89, and transitScore 100 indicate strong walk, bike, and transit access.
