Description

Three residences. Endless possibilities. One exceptional Windsor Terrace opportunity. Welcome to 221 Vanderbilt Street, a beautifully renovated, semi-detached brick three-family home offering an ideal combination of space, flexibility, and income potential in one of Brooklyn's most beloved neighborhoods. Situated on a generous 25' x 100' lot, this substantial property is currently configured as an owner's duplex plus two additional three-bedroom rental apartments. With over 1,000 square feet on each floor, the home offers a rare amount of space across all three residences, making it equally compelling for an owner-occupant seeking rental income or an investor looking for a turnkey multifamily property. Live beautifully. Earn intelligently. The owner's duplex provides the comfort and scale of a true home, while the two spacious three-bedroom apartments offer the opportunity to generate meaningful rental income. Whether you're looking to offset your monthly carrying costs, accommodate changing needs over time, or add a strong multifamily asset to your portfolio, 221 Vanderbilt Street offers remarkable versatility. And the appeal goes far beyond the layout. The property underwent a comprehensive gut renovation in 2017, including new plumbing, electrical systems, windows, and mechanicals. All three residences have been renovated within the last several years, offering updated interiors and the peace of mind that comes with extensive capital improvements. The building is equipped with a highly efficient Weil-McLain pumped hot-water heating system, and each apartment enjoys the convenience of its own washer and dryer. These are the kinds of thoughtful, substantial upgrades that make a difference for both residents and property owners. The semi-detached construction adds to the home's appeal, offering a sense of openness that's not always easy to find in Brooklyn multifamily living. A location you'll love coming home to. Set in the heart of Windsor Terrace, 221 Vanderbilt Street puts you in a neighborhood celebrated for its welcoming community, beautiful residential streets, independent businesses, and easy access to the best of Brooklyn. It's the kind of place where people put down roots and stay for years. For the buyer who wants a home that works as hard as they do, this is a particularly exciting opportunity: a substantial brick property, three renovated residences, modernized building systems, and the ability to enjoy the benefits of homeownership alongside the potential for two income-producing apartments. 221 Vanderbilt Street isn't simply a place to live. It's an opportunity to build your future in Windsor Terrace.

The F and G trains stop at 15th Street-Prospect Park and Fort Hamilton Parkway, providing connections to Downtown Brooklyn and Manhattan.

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
