Description

DON'T MISS this unique opportunity to invest in an income producing apartment building in the burgeoning section of Crown Heights, just one block from the Utica 3/4 subway and 1 stop from thriving Franklin Avenue. This pre-war rental building is approximately 9744 sq. ft. and is comprised of eight 3BR apartments, with great ceiling height, views and light. Six of the units are already vacant. Although this is an 'as is' property in need of a gut renovation, the seller has already replaced the boiler, water tanks and kitchen stacks. The basement is spacious with good ceiling height and can be viewed along with the vacant units. The property will be delivered with 6 vacant apartments and two rent stabilized tenants: apt 1 for $933.55 and apt 7 for $979.67. Crown Heights, which is often compared to Bedford Stuyvesant is in full-blown development. This building is a rare find and a phenomenal investment opportunity.

Building Information
