Description

CONTRACT SIGNED This 3-family Renaissance Revival, built by Alvah Bosworth in 1909, features a full-height angled bay, Corinthian pilasters, and decorative cornice. The home is currently used as a single-family live/work residence and will be delivered vacant. Additionally, the home offers an office and guest apartment. Sitting on a 100' lot with a 20 x 55 footprint on three floors, you will certainly have plenty of room to spread out. Bring your designer/architect and re-imagine this house as a fabulous single-family home on a charming block in the Northern Historic Crown Heights District, or utilize it as a 3-family dwelling to appease that investor in you. The Parlor floor is configured as a two/three bedroom, one bath apartment with direct access to the lovely south-facing garden from the kitchen--a perfect set up for entertaining and backyard BBQs. The second floor features two apartments. The north-facing apartment is used as an office plus laundry room and features original fretwork as well as windowed bath with skylight. The south-facing apartment overlooking the garden is used as a guest suite and features original wood paneling and details, a separate kitchen, and a full bath. Completing this floor is a central windowed office which faces the street.

The Garden level is currently used as a large workshop and offers additional storage. Interior stairs connect the garden and parlor floors, allowing for an additional 1000 square feet of auxiliary space for a media room, home gym or office. The backyard is also accessed from this level through proper stairs and a hatch. The bonus of this property is having windows on three sides, allowing for center bedrooms. The addition of a skylight over the central staircase further enhances the already abundant natural light throughout the home. Current owners have upgraded the electrical and taken great care to save all original doors and moldings throughout the house. It doesn't get more Brooklyn than Crown Heights with local hotspots such as Mayfield, Franklin Park, Catfish, and Chavela's. The 3 @ Kingston Ave is right around the corner and the 2/5 President Street station is 4 blocks away. Prospect Park, Brooklyn Children's Museum, Brooklyn Botanic Garden, the farmers market at Grand Army Plaza, and Brooklyn Museum are all within 10 blocks.
