211 HALSEY Street

211 Halsey Street, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY 11216
A rare opportunity in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant. This charming 2-story frame townhouse sits on an 18.75 x 100 ft lot and offers 2,025 sq ft of living space plus a full basement - all in one of Brooklyn's most coveted neighborhoods.
Currently configured as a two-family, this property is "on paper" a single family, now in its final stages of conversion to a two-family home, with the Certificate of Occupancy pending final sign-off. The groundwork is already done and the process is well underway - making this an ideal opportunity for an end-user looking to house-hack or an investor positioned to add immediate rental income upon CO approval. Live in one unit and rent out the other - the numbers work from day one.
The home features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a laundry room conveniently located in the rear of the first floor. Major mechanicals have been addressed - water heater replaced in 2014 and central heater replaced in 2007. The kitchen and bath have been renovated to current standards, and the interior has been modestly upgraded throughout. Adding to the appeal, the property enjoys a desirable south-facing exposure, flooding the home with natural light throughout the day - a rare and highly sought-after feature in Brooklyn brownstone living. The property is being sold AS-IS and a 203K renovation loan is available through Wells Fargo for qualified buyers - making this accessible to a wide range of buyers looking to add their own touch.
The property will be delivered fully vacant on June 1st, 2026 - move-in ready from day one with no tenant coordination required.
Location-wise, it doesn't get much better than this. Nestled on a beautiful tree-lined block between Tompkins and Marcy Avenue, 211 Halsey sits literally steps from Potomac Playground and Uncommon Bed-Stuy West Elementary School - perfect for families. Just 3 blocks from the Brooklyn campus of the College of New Rochelle, and a short commute to Boys & Girls High School and Interfaith Medical Center. The B26 bus stop sits right across the street, and a few blocks away, Fulton Street provides easy access to major retail, dining, and transit - keeping you connected to everything Brooklyn has to offer.
Built in 1901 and zoned R6B, the property carries classic Brooklyn character with meaningful upside. With 1,725 sq ft of remaining buildable area and a current FAR of just 1.08 against a maximum of 2.0, there is significant additional development potential for the right buyer.
Annual property taxes of approximately $5,416 round out an already compelling picture.
Whether you're looking to plant roots in Bed-Stuy or build long-term wealth in a neighborhood that continues to appreciate - 211 Halsey Street delivers on both fronts.
