216 Albany Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11213

A BROOKLYN STUNNER One block to Brower Park and close to multiple subway lines, situated on a tree-lined, sunny, and extra-wide street in energetic-yet-cozy Crown Heights, 216 Albany Avenue offers a lovingly updated single-family home with a warm façade, approximately 2,000 SF and a private backyard. The townhouse includes three generously proportioned floors with abundant historic details, five bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and approximately 650 SF of outdoor space. PARLOR + UPPER FLOOR + SEMI-FINISHED BASEMENT Past its exterior ironwork and atop a freshly restored stoop, enter 216 Albany Avenue’s vestibule with original tiles and wainscoting, welcoming you to the parlor floor with its high ceilings, new flooring, restored woodwork, original wood stairs to the upper floor, and streaming sunlight from the oversized windows and skylight. A spacious living room with handsome original mantles and pier mirror, dining room, and an inviting modern eat-in-kitchen—with a central island, Bosch oven/range and dishwasher with top utensil rack—complete the floor, along with a convenient powder room and access to the rear porch and sizable 15’ x 34’ garden perfect for enjoyment and entertaining. The upper level offers three bedrooms: a generously sized primary with three oversized windows that overlook Albany Avenue; a second bedroom with its west-facing window and large closet; adjacent is a cozy third bedroom or office that features a large skylight. A windowed full bathroom with a soaking tub completes the floor. The spacious basement provides ample storage, stainless steel shelving units, and top-of-the-line washing machine, pedestal washer, and gas dryer, new in 2020. The furnace, extra-large water heater, split-duct HVAC, and entire electrical system are also recent updates. GARDEN FLOOR Via original stairs from the parlor floor or through its own private, street-level front entrance, the garden floor has new hardwood flooring and is presently configured as two rooms with a full bathroom in between, a kitchen, as well as direct access to the garden with a picturesque tree. A legal single-family home, the property can be converted to a two-family, creating a private one-bedroom or studio rental to offset the monthly carry for the owner’s duplex above. NEIGHBORHOOD 216 Albany Avenue is situated close to the Brooklyn Children’s Museum, the recently renovated 4.5-acre Brower Park, St. John’s Park, and Prospect Park. Enjoy all that the neighborhood has to offer including the restaurants of Franklin Avenue and Kingston Avenue, the Weeksville Heritage Center, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, and Grand Army farmers market on the weekend. Public transportation includes the 2, 3, 4, 5, A, C subway lines & LIRR train making it an easy commute throughout all of New York City and beyond. Street parking is also ample.
