Description

Dont miss this incredible opportunity for a live/work/invest opportunity in exciting Gowanus! This very cool brick mixed-use building situated on the unique and quiet Whitwell Place is a rare opportunity to be in the center of everything, but off the beaten path. Conveniently located between 3rd and 4th avenues, tucked between Carroll and President Streets, just a block from the subway and a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city streets. Enjoy the convenience of Whole Foods, and an exciting array of artisanal restaurants and shops in every direction.The property itself has been well maintained and is currently configured as a 20 x 90 fully built ground floor commercial space with a renovated duplex above built 20 x 45 on two floors that offers a loft-like open living and dining area with a massive roof terrace off the living room, and three bedrooms on the top floor. It is a unique opportunity to enjoy 1800 SF of commercial or artist studio space on the ground floor with an 1800 SF high-income rental or a primary residence above. Artists will love the ground floor for the easy access through a garage door and the high ceilings, or replace the garage door with storefront windows and create the office/store/restaurant or workspace of your dreams. The combination of commercial and residential zoning at the crossroads of so many great neighborhoods is what makes Gowanus, and this property, a win-win for any buyer. The added bonus of private and quiet outdoor space for the residential portion of the building only increases its desirability.With its brick faade and industrial casement windows and a 20 width, the scale and proportions of this building are the perfect blank canvas for a buyer looking to create a distinctive space above and beyond the norm. It is certainly rentable as-is, but with a little creativity, this property could be a true one-of-a-kind home on one of Brooklyns most extraordinary and hidden blocks.Showing by appointment only. House is currently vacant and will be delivered vacant. Projected rent for the storefront is $6000/month and recently vacated tenants for the upper duplex were paying $6500/month.

Style Prewar

Gowanus features a striking mix of 19th-century brick warehouses, Greek Revival rowhouses, and new glass-and-steel condominiums rising along the canal waterfront. The F, G, R, D, and N/W trains are accessible at nearby Smith-Ninth Streets and Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street stations, with Atlantic Terminal a short walk north. Washington Park and the Old Stone House landmark anchor the neighborhood's green space, while a major rezoning is bringing thousands of new residential units and waterfront parkland to the area.
