Description
Welcome to 2611 Avenue J, a distinguished semi-detached two-family residence offering an exceptional combination of space, flexibility, and long-term potential. Set on an impressive 35' 100' lot along a wide Brooklyn street, the property offers approximately 1,908 square feet of interior space with six bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a private driveway, front and rear outdoor space, and a full basement. The property is situated within an R4 zoning district, where current regulations permit a range of residential building types, subject to applicable zoning and site-specific requirements. Thoughtfully configured as two generously proportioned three-bedroom residences, the home presents tremendous versatility for an end user, multigenerational household, or investor. Its semi-detached configuration welcomes abundant natural light, while the oversized lot and private driveway provide conveniences increasingly difficult to find in Brooklyn. The expansive basement features its own private exterior exit, adding valuable flexibility for recreation, a home office, storage, or other permitted uses. At the heart of this offering is its exceptional location within a well-established and vibrant community, surrounded by numerous houses of worship, private schools, and community institutions. Shopping, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, and everyday conveniences are all close at hand, complemented by convenient access to the 2 and 5 trains at Flatbush Avenue-Brooklyn College, the B and Q trains at Avenue J, and multiple nearby bus routes. Adding to its long-term appeal, the property benefits from R4 zoning and the broader framework established under New York City's City of Yes for Housing Opportunity, which updated regulations in lower-density residential districts and created additional housing opportunities in qualifying locations. Buyers, investors, architects, and developers should independently verify the property's specific development potential and all applicable zoning provisions. Whether envisioned as a primary residence with supplemental income, a multigenerational home, or a long-term investment, 2611 Avenue J offers a compelling combination of an oversized lot, private parking, two-family flexibility, R4 zoning, and an exceptional Brooklyn location. Select listing photos have been virtually staged to illustrate the potential use and layout of the space.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
