Welcome to 173 8th Street, a beautifully designed two-family townhouse offering a rare combination of thoughtful layout, modern updates, and outdoor serenity — all nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Gowanus. Spanning over three levels plus a finished basement, this 2600+ sqft residence features five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two powder rooms, and a private garden with an expansive patio ready to host any event.
The parlor level opens into a generously proportioned living and dining area that gracefully transitions into a chef’s kitchen designed for both form and function, featuring a premium suite of Thermador appliances. These include an integrated refrigerator and dishwasher, an induction cooktop and double oven, a microwave drawer, and an Azure wine cooler. With floor-to-ceiling glass doors leading onto a rear deck and a powder room, this floor offers seamless flow for both daily life and entertaining.
Upstairs, you will find three spacious bedrooms, including a tranquil rear-facing primary suite with ample closet space and treetop views. The upper floor also includes two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom as well as a washer/dryer closet.
The garden level offers a beautifully laid out two-bedroom apartment with its own private entrance — perfect for rental income, in-laws, or guests. This unit also enjoys access to the garden and features a large living/dining space, full kitchen, and in-unit washer and dryer.
The finished basement offers over 300 square feet of bonus space, including a powder room and large recreation room — ideal for a home gym or media room.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined Gowanus block just minutes from the F, G, and R trains, Whole Foods, Prospect Park, and a vibrant array of restaurants such as Cotra, Siempre, and Four & Twenty Blackbirds, 173 8th Street is a turnkey opportunity to own a flexible and stylish townhouse in one of Brooklyn’s most exciting neighborhoods.
