    What's special

    Large private backyardBrick construction
    FULLY VACANT LEGAL 3-FAMILY — 4,470 SQ FT OF USABLE INTERIOR SPACE — DIRECT FROM OWNER Rare opportunity to acquire a fully vacant legal 3-family brick property in Bedford-Stuyvesant. Built in 2007, the property offers approximately 4,470 sq ft of usable interior space, consisting of approximately 3,361 sq ft above grade plus a 1,109 sq ft fully finished basement. BUILDING LAYOUT: Two spacious 3-bedroom / 2-full-bath apartments and one 2-bedroom / 2-full-bath apartment, plus a large fully finished basement and a huge private backyard. The property will be delivered 100% vacant, giving the new owner immediate flexibility to occupy, lease, furnish, or establish market rents without inheriting existing tenants or leases. PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS • Legal 3-family • 8 bedrooms / 6 full bathrooms • Approximately 4,470 sq ft of usable interior space • Approximately 3,361 sq ft above grade • Approximately 1,109 sq ft fully finished basement • Two 3BR/2BA apartments • One 2BR/2BA apartment • Built in 2007 • Brick construction • Separate utilities for each apartment • Large private backyard • Delivered completely vacant • Professional photography available throughout the listing FLEXIBLE OWNER-OCCUPANT OR INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY The configuration provides multiple possibilities. An owner-occupant can enjoy substantial living space while generating income from the additional apartments, while an investor can lease all three units at current market rents. The large finished basement also provides substantial additional usable space and flexibility for the first-floor owner or occupant. Any change in use or configuration would, of course, be subject to applicable NYC requirements and approvals. Unlike many of Brooklyn's much older multifamily properties, this building was constructed in 2007, offering buyers a relatively modern building while retaining the flexibility and income potential of a traditional Brooklyn multifamily property. LOCATION Located on a residential block in Bedford-Stuyvesant bordering Clinton Hill and Williamsburg with convenient access to public transportation, neighborhood shopping, restaurants, schools and other Brooklyn amenities, with easy access to Manhattan and surrounding neighborhoods. FINANCIALS Annual Taxes: $8,894 Price/SF: $535 Price reduced $6K — seller motivated DIRECT OWNER SALE — NO LISTING AGENT The property is being offered directly by the owner, who has owned and managed the building for more than 20 years. Due to high Demand for showing, Proof of funds or mortgage pre-approval is required prior to scheduling a private showing. All private showings are conducted directly by the owner. Serious and qualified buyers are welcome to contact the owner directly with questions or to arrange a private showing.
    What the owner loves about this home
    After owning and managing this property for more than 20 years, what I appreciate most is its flexibility. Each apartment feels like a real home, with generous space, two full bathrooms, separate utilities and plenty of privacy. It's truly turnkey. Built in 2007, so there's none of the endless upkeep that comes with a century-old brownstone. It's solid, modern, and low-maintenance. It's completely empty. No tenants, no leases, no headaches. Whoever buys it gets to set their own rents from Day 1 — that flexibility is incredibly rare in this neighborhood. The space is enormous. 4,470 square feet total, including a huge finished basement that can be whatever you need — storage, a rec room, extra rental income, you name it. The backyard is a gem. Private outdoor space in Bed-Stuy is hard to find. It's perfect for morning coffee, summer dinners, or just having your own quiet spot in the city. The layout works for almost anyone. Three separate units means you can rent all three, live in one and rent the other two, or share it with family across separate floors. Utilities are separate. Each unit has its own gas and electric meter. That keeps overhead low and makes managing the property simple. The location is ideal. Quiet, tree-lined block, but minutes from the subway, hospitals, universities, and everything Manhattan has to offer. It has already proven itself. I've rented it both furnished and unfurnished with strong, consistent demand. The tenant pool here is excellent — young professionals, medical staff, grad students, corporate renters. Honestly, it's the kind of building that's hard to find and easy to hold onto.
