Description
STUNNING INCOME-PRODUCING TOWNHOUSE WITH GARDEN UNIT IN PRIME BROOKLYN LOCATION
Nestled in the heart of Brooklyn, 681 Saint Marks Avenue beckons with an air of timeless sophistication and contemporary allure. This meticulously maintained Crown Heights townhouse, built in 1931, spans four floors, featuring a triplex plus a garden apartment that presents an exciting income-producing opportunity. The garden unit, which can be delivered ready-to-rent and fully furnished, has the potential to command $3800 per month.
The property boasts a generous 20-foot width, a 20’ by 95’ lot, and received a new Certificate of Occupancy in 2023, affirming its status as a 2-family residence. The interior, spanning 3,466 square feet (excluding the finished basement), reveals a seamless blend of historical charm and modern amenities. With six bedrooms and seven bathrooms, including a primary bath with a free-standing tub, the living spaces exude a sense of luxury and comfort. A wood-burning fireplace graces the living room, adding warmth and character.
The kitchen, a culinary haven, showcases white oak floors, Quartzite countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances. A large open kitchen/dining/living space invites gatherings, complemented by ample cabinet space.
In addition to the full gut renovation completed in 2022 by the previous developer, the current owner also further optimized the property in 2023. These enhancements, including the installation of Daikin HVAC, a new wall-length glass door, meticulous landscaping by Field Form, and the noteworthy fact that the appraisal in 2022 exceeds the current asking price, not only enhance the townhouse's charm but also reflect its exceptional value. This underscores the commitment to maintaining the highest standards of living and solidifies its position as an outstanding investment opportunity.
Venture outdoors to discover a professionally landscaped garden, a serene retreat bathed in sunlight. The south-facing house offers stunning views of the street and neighborhood, while the cellar, finished with tile, serves as a versatile space for storage or leisure.
Noteworthy extras include a 30-year warranty on the Brooklyn Solar Works solar system, which was installed in October 2023, providing both environmental sustainability and significant savings. Custom-built features, such as floor-to-ceiling bookshelves by Edward Orloff/Rift Cabinetry in the office, add a personalized touch.
Embrace the epitome of Brooklyn living at 681 Saint Marks Avenue—a home that seamlessly marries elegance, functionality, and the unique character of its historic surroundings.
