    What's special

    Welcome to 253 Montgomery Street: A charming single-family semi-detached brick home on a quiet tree-lined street in Crown Heights just a few blocks from Prospect Park. This two-story home features a shared driveway, its own parking garage, a private backyard, and a semi-finished basement. Owned by the same family for over 50 years, this property is full of character and original detail, and with a little TLC can be the home of your dreams. Moreover, with R6 zoning and over 3200 square feet of unused floor-to-area ratio (FAR), it is prime for an investment opportunity! Enter on the parlor level where you will find a bright south-facing sunroom, a spacious living room with partially-exposed brick, a chandeliered dining room, a functional kitchen ready for a modern makeover, a multi-purpose room overlooking a quaint backyard, and original hardwood parquet floors and high ceilings throughout. Ascend the interior staircase to reach four spacious bedrooms and a full bathroom. Access the basement - equipped with half bath, kitchenette, and full-sized windows - via its own side entrance or through the parlor floor. Restore this home to its original grandeur or bring your architect to realize a new vision! Just minutes from Prospect Park, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch, Medgar Evers College, the 2/3/4/5/S subway lines and the B44/B49 buses, the location ideal. Properties in this coveted Crown Heights neighborhood don't come up for sale often. Don't let this opportunity pass you by!
