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.

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.
