Set on a tree-lined street in one of Brooklyn’s most vibrant neighborhoods, this redbrick pre-war townhouse is a dream New York home, complete with a deck and spacious backyard picnic area. Outstanding original details run throughout this dramatic two-story abode. There are gorgeous hardwood floors, high ceilings with classic crown molding, and finely carved Victorian-style door and window frames.
Currently, this property is set up as a great income-generating two-family building with a one-bedroom apartment on the first floor, a two-bedroom upstairs, and a finished basement set up as a full-sized studio connected to the first floor, complete with its own bathroom and kitchen. If desired, the home can easily be converted into a very generously proportioned single-family house spanning more than 3,000 square feet of living space and an incredible amount of storage.
The one-bedroom apartment contains a living room, den, and a dining room adjacent to the oversized chef’s kitchen, which features an enormous amount of counter space, a farmer’s sink, washer/dryer unit, and commercial appliances including a hooded stove. The home’s deck is accessed through the kitchen here, leading down to the leafy private backyard, while the atrium-like master bedroom sports three southeast exposures ushering in a deluge of natural light throughout the day. The luxurious bathroom has a marble countertop vanity, elegant tiling and a stand-in shower.

There’s a full kitchen, an office with an arched window, spacious living/dining room, and the master bedroom. Finally, the basement space is a large open-plan room with direct access to the magnificent backyard.
