23 Melrose Street

Built in the 1870s in the Neo-Grec style, 23 Melrose Street is graced with high ceilings, lots of light, and a convenient location in a vibrant part of Bushwick. This 20-foot wide townhouse is a legal 2-family configured as two floor-through apartments and a high-ceilinged basement. Much of this homes historic detail remains intact, including its intricately carved front doors, wooden cornice, staircase, parquet floors and two stone fireplace mantels. The basement steps out to a large sunny backyard, which awaits your green thumb. Theres room for a lot of expansion here, thanks to 23 Melrose Streets R6 zoning, which allows for a total building size of over 3,900 square feet. The arts, cafes, shops, restaurants, and nightlife that have made Bushwick one of New York Citys most talked-about creative neighborhoods are close by, including Bizarre, Little Mo, Silent Barn, Little Skip and Happyfun Hideaway. Williamsburg is just a few blocks away, and the JMZ subway line, which is less than a block away, will bring you to Manhattans Delancey/Essex stop on the Lower East Side in under 15 minutes. Bring your architect and contractor and make this period gem your own. Delivered vacant.
