Introducing 253 Troy Avenue, a legal three-family townhouse in Weeksville, bordering Crown Heights and ideally positioned between Lincoln Place and Saint Johns Place, less than 500 feet from Eastern Parkway. Delivered fully vacant at closing, the approximately 3,300-square-foot property comprises three spacious two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments, each occupying a full floor. The first-floor residence features distinct living and dining areas, a windowed kitchen, generous ceiling heights of approximately 10 feet, and direct access to a private rear yard measuring approximately 20 feet by 33 feet. The second- and third-floor apartments offer expansive front and rear bedrooms, open living and dining areas, windowed kitchens, ample closet space, and ceiling heights approaching 10 feet. A full-footprint basement provides substantial storage and mechanical space, while the third floor includes access to the roof. Renovated approximately 15 years ago and maintained in good, functional condition, the property is being sold as-is and could benefit from cosmetic upgrading to meet today’s design and rental standards. A proper Certificate of Occupancy confirms its legal three-family use, providing investors and end-users with confidence in the existing configuration. Sited on a 20-foot-by-89-foot lot with building dimensions of approximately 20 feet by 55 feet, 253 Troy Avenue also presents meaningful long-term development potential. The property is located within an R6/C1-3 zoning district, with a residential FAR of 3.0, a current FAR of approximately 1.85, and an estimated 2,047 square feet of additional buildable area, subject to independent architectural and zoning verification.
