Description

Live the Dream in Brooklyn!

396 Franklin Avenue #2 is a boutique brownstone conversion offering the perfect blend of townhouse charm and condo ease. Enjoy a spacious layout, low monthly maintenance fees, and the tranquility of a tree-lined Brooklyn block.

This stunning duplex condo nestled between Bedford-Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill ticks all the boxes: large light filled rooms, custom built-ins throughout, a dedicated laundry area with built in shelving, basement storage and access to a private roof deck area.

Step inside this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condo that has been cleverly configured into a 3-bedroom layout, ideal for accommodating your lifestyle needs. The main level features an inviting living area with a cozy gas fireplace, framed by custom bookshelves. The updated eat in kitchen boasts marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample cabinet space.

Ascend to the upper level where you'll find a large primary bedroom with nearly 11 foot high ceilings and custom closets. This room is large enough to fit a king bed and a workspace.The second bedroom has been separated into two bedrooms; one currently being used as a nursery and the other a bedroom for a teenager. Keep this current configuration or restore it to one oversized bedroom.

The true gem of this home lies above-private rooftop access. Imagine sipping your morning coffee or hosting summer barbecues against the backdrop of classic Brooklyn townhouse views -- all you need to do is complete the decking. The entire roof was replaced in 2022.

The storage in the basement is shared with just one other unit and spans the entire length of the building.

Located in a vibrant and historic neighborhood, you'll have easy access to the best of Brooklyn living. The A, C and G trains are all easily accessible, as are vibrant cafes and eateries such as The Fly, The Franklin, Locanda Vini e Olii, Sisters, and Speedy Romeo. Take a leisurely stroll through tree-lined streets filled with brownstones and cultural and educational landmarks like Pratt University, BAM and the Brooklyn Museum.

Don't miss out on this opportunity!
