Description

A well positioned townhouse in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, offering a flexible layout and strong long term investment potential.

Generous proportions across multiple levels create an adaptable floor plan for a variety of living and investment strategies. Set on a tree lined residential block, the home is close to local shops, restaurants, parks, and public transportation, with convenient access to both Brooklyn and Manhattan. Industry City, the Brooklyn waterfront, and Sunset Park’s 24 acre namesake park are all nearby.
