Description

Options abound at 154 Douglass Street! Currently set up as a three family with a separate entrance under the stoop for the first level apartment, and another for the upper two units at the top of the stoop. This is also an ideal set-up to convert to a two family with an upper level owners duplex over a garden rental. Or keep as is and enjoy the full rental income from the second floor one bedroom apartment and the top floor two bedroom apartment. The cozy first floor unit is a one bedroom and features a recently updated kitchen, as well as a charming sunroom leading to the very spacious backyard. The second floor has a lovely open feel with full parlor height ceilings and original slate fireplaces in both the bedroom and dining/living room. There is also a windowed bath, excellent light and access to a terrace which could easily be converted to a deck with stairs leading down to the garden should one choose to use the home to a two family with this as the main level. The top floor apartment features two bedrooms, each of good size with a decorative wood fireplace mantel, a windowed bathroom, full kitchen and interior den with skylights, filling the floor with sunlight. The home has recently undergone numerous updates including electric and plumbing upgrade throughout the home in 2008, a new silver coat for the roof in 2012 and a new convertible gas boiler in 2015. 154 Douglass Street is located in Carroll Gardens, on the border of Boerum Hill and Gowanus and just a couple of blocks from the restaurants, shops and cafes of Smith Street and a short walk to BAM and the Barclays Center.
