Spanning approximately 2,150 square feet, this two-family property is currently configured with five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, offering a versatile layout suited for both end-users and investors. The home has been well maintained over the years and offers solid bones throughout, making it an ideal candidate for a thoughtful cosmetic renovation. Period charm is evident with five decorative fireplaces that anchor multiple living spaces, adding warmth and architectural interest. Generous room proportions allow for king-sized bedrooms and flexible living arrangements across both units. The basement is clean and expansive, currently unfinished but primed for conversion into a home office, recreation space, or additional storage depending on your needs. Above grade, the layout lends itself to multiple strategies-continue operating as a two-family with strong rental income, or explore reconfiguration into a higher-yield multi-unit investment (subject to approvals). Positioned literally on the corner of Rockaway Avenue, the C train at Rockaway Ave provides direct and efficient access into Manhattan & Broadway Junction, making commuting seamless. Flanked by Bed Stuy, the surrounding neighborhood continues to see steady growth, with increasing demand from renters and buyers alike drawn to its accessibility through value relative to neighboring areas. Whether you're looking to create a custom residence with income, capitalize on rental upside, or reposition the asset entirely, 1274 Herkimer Street offers the foundation to execute your vision.
