Property Summary
Description
Charming and rare ~18' wide Gowanus Townhouse! Nestled on a lovely, tree-lined block (previously named "Greenest Block in Brooklyn" by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden) among a row of classic red brick townhouses, this three-story home is not to be missed. With a beautifully maintained brick facade and meticulously cared for interiors, it exudes timeless charm and character. This beloved ~2100 sf townhouse hasn’t been on the market in almost 20 years, offering a rare opportunity to join the vibrant Gowanus community. Step outside to your private, park-like oasis, complete with authentic park benches from Union Square Park and a gorgeous mature oak tree, just perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, classic details abound, including three decorative marble fireplaces that add elegance and historic character to the home. This property offers exceptional flexibility for modern living: move right into this charming single-family, or take advantage of its legal two-family status or substantial FAR to create an owner’s duplex while generating rental income. The options are limitless. With its prime location, classic architectural details, and ample potential, this townhouse combines elegance, warmth, and the unbeatable appeal of one of Brooklyn’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Enjoy all the amenities that Gowanus has to offer - from acclaimed dining and local cafés to close proximity to Washington Park, the Sunday farmer's market, Whole Foods and more. Minutes to the city and beyond with the F, G, and R subway lines just one block away. Schedule a showing today to begin your next chapter!
