Description

An opportunity unlike any other currently offered on the market: This spacious first-floor two-bedroom duplex (currently configured as a three bedroom + home office) offers maximum flexibility and a unique characteristic: this is a unit that grows with you. Have your choice of a two-bedroom with two offices and a rec room plus laundry room and half bath in the lower level, a four-bedroom 1.5 bath, or any permutation in between. You can tailor the ample space this unit has to suit your needs.

The location cannot be beat: on the border of Park Slope and Prospect Heights and near Downtown Brooklyn and Crown Heights. Close to schools, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Grand Army Plaza (and the Greenmarket that's there every Saturday, year-round) in addition to some of the best shops and restaurants Brooklyn has to offer. A few blocks away from the Grand Army Plaza Station on the 2/3 subway line and the 7th Ave Station on the B/Q line.
