One of the first brick houses built in this historic brownstone district in 1855. Amidst wood houses and remnants of remaining farmlands that was originally settled by the Dutch. Fast forward to present day; this home retains its country pedigree with a lush, garden oasis in the tranquil backyard and serene front garden; both with relaxing water fountains! Although constructed more than 160 years ago, the property has undergone many modern upgraded infrastructural elements in its electricals and plumbing. It has even moved into the 21st century with a greening effort with solar panels on the roof; greatly offsetting the energy bills of the owner duplex. Another very important offset in expenses is the 2 income earning rentals that will continuously support your mortgage payments; as well as the very low tax bracket that is enjoyed with houses that are 3 units or less. Whole house is vacant and ready for immediate move in. No upgrading in the owner's duplex needed; only some for the tenant one bedroom floor-throughs. Best used by owner occupant who could benefit from the rental income to cover some of the mortgage. (Each unit can get $2500 in the market today; more with a little bit of up-grading.) Taxes already very low and solar panels really brings down the cost of electrical use. Can also work well for family seeking to convert into one-family occupancy. Lot size is 20.17 x 100 feet, the building is 20 x 38 feet. Taxes only $6,000+ a year. Tenant apartments can rent of $2400 a month each (helps with the mortgage and the bank will use 75% fo this rent roll as part of your income.) Duplex will rent for $4500 a month, if you choose to occupy on of the floor throughs yourself. Solar panels reduces electric bill for the duplex substantially. Heating costs for the whole building minimal also. This is best used for owner occupant. Perfect for young family starting out. Not suitable for development or condo conversion. This is truly the last little gem in Boerum Hill. Literally everything you could want in neighborhood amenities is within a 5 block radius of this address. 12 train lines plus the Long Island Railroad provide a 10 minute ride into Manhattan from here. Shops, restaurants and grocery stores abound as well as world-class entertainment at the Barclay Center and the Brooklyn Academy of Music. The block is beautiful all year round with its pretty front gardens in front of every home on that block. No need to put your car in a garage as parking is easy on this block. Floor plans can be sent to you privately on request. Additional photos and floor plans can be sent on request. Private appointments to visit can be made outside the open house schedule.
