    What's special

    Three-story townhouseOpen-concept kitchen
    At the heart of the Gowanus renaissance, just moments from the iconic Gowanus Waterway, 478 President Street offers a rare blend of character, income potential, and exceptional flexibility in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after residential neighborhoods. Configured as a three-story townhouse with over 2,900 square feet and a 20' × 40' footprint, the property is currently utilized as a two-family residence but can effortlessly accommodate single-family, two-family, or three-family living arrangements. The turnkey owner's duplex is thoughtfully designed for modern living, featuring an open-concept kitchen overlooking a beautifully expansive private garden and backyard retreat. A spacious dining area comfortably seats eight, while generous proportions throughout create an atmosphere of comfort and ease. Complementing the owner's residence is a fully independent two-bedroom rental apartment, offering substantial income potential. Equipped with PVAC climate-control systems in both units, the home combines practicality with comfort. Rarely does a property offer this level of versatility, location, and investment potential in such a rapidly appreciating Brooklyn neighborhood. Surrounded by celebrated restaurants, neighborhood conveniences, lush parks, and excellent transportation options, 478 President Street represents an outstanding opportunity to own in one of Brooklyn's most exciting residential markets. Property will be delivered vacant.
