Description

Why purchase a condo when you can own a multi-family brownstone, and offset your mortgage with rental income?! 690 Decatur is a 20ft wide and 45 ft deep 3 story 2 family brownstone with enormous curb appeal, and is situated on leafy Decatur Street in the Ocean Hill section of Bedford Stuyvesant. The original rod iron fencing frames this brownstone beautifully. Original shutters and several original decorative fireplaces throughout. Enter the garden apartment and you are greeted to a warm, open concept kitchen with exposed brick, granite counter tops, a modern deep sink, an island with an additional sink, stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry. This apartment has three bedrooms, 3 full baths, a finished basement with kitchenette, and double height office space replete with a massive south facing skylight. Rent this apartment for $3000/mo to offset your mortgage! Up the gorgeous rod iron railed stoop, you enter the light-filled parlor floor, with soaring ceiling height, decorative original mantels, shutters, and a full bath. The top floor has 3 generous sized bedrooms & a full bath. Put your own touches on this upper duplex. Enjoy the large, leafy & south facing garden with attractive red brick inlay. Separately metered. Nestled on a townhouse block. Grab a latte at Butch & Coco. Have some wine + pizza at Saraghina. Near the J/Z train that swoops you into Manhattan in a heartbeat. Or go West on Decatur, through beautiful Brownstone Brooklyn, to the A express at Utica Station, on Stuyvesant Ave (or the C train, a quick 7 minute stroll at Rockaway). This is not only a handsome & spacious place to call home, but a savvy investment that will appreciate in value tenfold over the next few years!
