Grand scale four-story brownstone of charm and flexibility.
Historic brownstone displaying a total gut renovation.


An iconic Brooklyn brownstone forms the basis for this cleverly modernized and beautifully restored multi-family townhouse, showcasing a blend of timeless 1840s charm and smart style over four versatile levels. It makes an integral part of Boerum Hill's heritage streetscape and is perfectly located for lifestyle on a peaceful tree-lined block on the cusp of Park Slope with easy access to Brooklyn's finest lifestyle amenities.


Totally gut-renovated in 2010 and meticulously preserved throughout, the property's many enticing attributes include exposed brick walls, restored marble wood-burning fireplace, restored original front doors and three separate tenancies earning excellent rental income. A large two-story original extension makes the house above average in size and makes the duplex, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms with a balcony and backyard, the same size as a 3-story house.


Inside, the home is beautifully presented throughout with high ceilings, hardwood flooring and lots of traditional charm. It's currently configured as a three-family home, but is legal for four, and includes an owner's duplex on the parlor floor with a working fireplace, plus two renovated two-bedroom apartments on the upper levels, earning significant rental income. The top floor features super high ceilings that give an uplifting sense of space.


A major highlight of this property is the extra-deep 20' x 100' lot that comes with a private rear deck and garden that's perfect for escaping the fast pace of city life, or simply a quiet place to relax or entertain friends. There is also HVAC and central AC in all apartments and quality kitchens with granite countertops and glass tiled back-splash, plus internal access to a full basement level storage space with boiler room.

There are many real estate options here for homeowners, extended family groups or live-in landlords. The property offers a rare chance to own a slice of history in a highly sought-after Boerum Hill neighborhood. From here you can easily stroll to the Barclays Center, Dekalb Market Hall, Whole Foods Market, Fort Greene Park, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). As for transport, it's a short walk up to the 2,3,4,5 N,Q,R,W,D and LIRR subway lines at the Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center subway station.
