Description

222 7th Street is a classic brick townhouse with a great location in the middle of a quiet block, close to the best of Gowanus and Park Slope. This lovingly maintained legal 2-family home is configured with a duplex plus cellar and a bright floor-through apartment on the top floor. The south-facing garden is a sunny oasis away from the bustle of Brooklyn, and a great place to relax, entertain, and put your green thumb to good use. Move right into 222 7th Street with minimal alterations, or renovate to fit your lifestyle and make this the quintessential Brooklyn townhouse of your dreams. There’s room to expand by up to 1,200 square feet “as of right,” with a rooftop addition and/or an extension into the backyard. The F/G/R subways are just two short blocks away, and the Old Stone House Park, Prospect Park, and Methodist Hospital are close by. Much of Brooklyn’s best shopping, restaurants, and other amenities are easily accessible (e.g., Whole Foods, The Bell House, Stone Park Café, the YMCA, Barbes, and Four and Twenty Blackbirds). Come see this beautiful townhouse and make it the backdrop for your life in Brooklyn.

Gowanus features a striking mix of 19th-century brick warehouses, Greek Revival rowhouses, and new glass-and-steel condominiums rising along the canal waterfront. The F, G, R, D, and N/W trains are accessible at nearby Smith-Ninth Streets and Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street stations, with Atlantic Terminal a short walk north. Washington Park and the Old Stone House landmark anchor the neighborhood's green space, while a major rezoning is bringing thousands of new residential units and waterfront parkland to the area.
