Description

Located on a quiet tree lined block, nestled in the cozy neighborhood confines of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, this lovely 2 Story / 2 Family building has prestige and potential!
With deep yards, and southern exposure to the rear, experience the joy of Townhouse living, in one of Brooklyn?s most sought after neighborhoods.
The block still has the old world charm that evokes nostalgia of Brooklyn's yesteryear, with many residents still original having a deep rooted interest in keeping the "old neighborhood" a great place to live!
Currently the building square footage is less than half of what is allowed as per NYC Zoning Law. A maximum of 3880 SF is allowable, and New or Alteration Development is permitted due to the Non-Landmark Status of the location. The 20 x 97 Lot is the larger of the parcels on the block, and can be maximized to its potential.
Enjoy easy access to Smith Street's "Restaurant Row", the peaceful retreat of Carroll Park, the eclectic array of bakeries, coffee shops, and all local neighborhood services just a few blocks away!
F,G Trains one Block Away, 20 Min to Midtown Manhattan!!!
A great opportunity AS IS or for any investment / development considerations.
