Description
87 Vanderbilt Ave presents a fantastic investment opportunity in ultra-desirable Fort Greene! This multi-family brownstone consists of 3 floor-thru units. All have private outdoor space (private yard for the parlor, private terraces for the upper two units), chef's kitchens, closets aplenty, sunlit bedrooms, exposed brick, and prewar marble fireplace mantles. The top two apartments have additional bedrooms/offices off of the main bedroom. Any of these three units would make for a lovely owners' unit should they wish to live in the building and rent out the additional units. There is coin operated laundry in the finished basement. 87 Vanderbilt was fully gut renovated in 2005, with additional improvements made more recently, including a new boiler and hot water heater; the building was also converted to natural gas in 2017. The current owner currently nets $130k in rental income. Taxes are low, only $5,336/year. All units are currently occupied with leases ending between July 2022-2023. The best of Brooklyn living can be experienced from 87 Vanderbilt. Fort Greene Park and its fantastic Saturday Farmers Market are close by, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard is moments away, with its enormous Wegman's, Russ & Daughters, and Brooklyn's best coffee roasters, Parlor and Brooklyn Roasting Company.
