Located in a boutique 6-unit rental building completed in 2023, this north-facing 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom duplex overlooks a private backyard and features 13.5-foot ceilings and original exposed brick walls. Walk down the beautiful staircase to access your private backyard or continue to the lower duplex level, which is partially above grade and has a window.
The apartment features central air conditioning and an in-unit stacked washer/dryer. The open kitchen boasts a Samsung stainless steel appliance package (refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and gas range), a white tile backsplash, dark quartz countertops, and ample cabinet space. The home offers three closets, plus a generous storage closet on the lower level. Additional highlights include double-pane windows and access to a shared rooftop deck with sweeping neighborhood views.
Rich in Brooklyn history, 185 Chauncey Street was once home to the historic Boys Welcome Hall, whose name remains etched into the building's original stone facade.
Ideally located just one block from the Utica Avenue A/C station, and moments from the restaurants and cafes of Malcolm X Boulevard, Fulton Street shopping, and newly renovated public tennis courts across the street.
