204 Madison St, Brooklyn, NY 11216

Quaint wood frame home with a large South-facing rear yard awaiting your thoughtful upgrades. The lower duplex has direct access to the back yard, and to the cellar for storage. The yard is a full 20’ wide and stretches to the end of the South facing 100’ lot. A renovation option is to convert to a triplex over garden apartment layout where the garden apartment would get a small patio, and the triplex apartment could have a deck, and access to the back yard. The home is built 4 floors, 20’ x 40’ on a 100’ lot. City records indicate that there is 800 sqft of buildable area. The parlor floor is well-preserved with nice tall windows and shutters, pretty ceiling moldings and lots of original wood trim and shutters. The original detail in the stoop vestibule is largely intact, too, giving the upstairs tenants a nice entrance. In various parts of the home you will find original sub flooring and other original details. The home features a recent forced air heating system, recent hot water heater, upgraded electrical panels, and new steel beam and posts in the cellar. The cellar is dry. With some updates the home can offer you many years of reliable enjoyment. Be sure to bring a home inspector to suggest upgrades to some of the local plumbing in the cellar, and the roof. The tenants are on month to month free market occupancy, but of course they would love to stay. ALL SHOWINGS AND OPEN HOUSE APPOINTMENTS ARE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY!
