Description

Built in 1930, this pre-war 6-unit building is located in a prime Kensington location. Zoned R5, the extra wide 23.6' X 69' building is situated on desirable 23.6' X 125' lot, with a garden in back. The front and rear apartments are situated across 3 floors and are delivered as-is, with 2 free market units that had been thoughtfully gut renovated. Fully occupied. Kensington is in the center of Brooklyn, and due to its affordability and proximity to Prospect Park is quickly becoming a desirable neighborhood for residents and developers alike.

Kensington is a residential Brooklyn neighborhood bordered by Prospect Park to the north and the landmarked Green-Wood Cemetery to the west, with Ocean Parkway running through its center as one of the borough's signature tree-lined boulevards. The housing stock includes brick rowhouses, prewar co-op apartment buildings along Ocean Parkway and Coney Island Avenue, and detached Victorian homes on the side streets, served by the F and G trains at Fort Hamilton Parkway and Church Avenue. The B and Q express trains are accessible within a short walk, providing a 30-to-35-minute commute to Midtown Manhattan.
