    What's special

    Priced to sell - Beautiful vacant 4-story 3-unit brownstone located on one of the most sought after blocks in Bedford-Stuyvesant. This legal 3-family property comes with an owners' duplex featuring 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and 2 floor through apartments on the second and third floors. All apartments are in good condition and come with wood floors, chef's kitchens, renovated bathrooms, washer and dryer in the unit, soaring ceilings on the parlor floor and tons of natural light. All exquisite original and architectural details have been preserved such as 5 decorative fireplaces, original staircase, crown moldings, shutters... Only cosmetic touches are needed as the entire property was completely renovated in 2010. Each apartment has its own gas boiler and water heater and is metered separately for gas and electric. This property is ideal for someone who wants to do only cosmetic work and needs the income of 2 rental apartments that are both in very good condition. This brownstone is located on a landmark and picturesque block, the epicenter of Bedford-Stuyvesant's most vibrant neighborhood with all your local favorite restaurants, eateries and coffee shops nearby: Saraghina, Peaches, Tepache, George-Andre Vintage Cafe, l'Antagoniste, Beso Therapy Wine Bar, Eugene and Co. just to name a few. This property is built 20 x 42 ft on a 100 ft lot and comes with about 3,360 square feet not including the South facing garden and basement. This brownstone is sold as is, and is an excellent choice for a future owner-occupant or an investor. Last but not least, this property is located less than a 10-minute walk to the A and C trains at Utica, just 20 minutes away from midtown Manhattan.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
