Description

Located on a beautiful, tree-lined block in prime East Flatbush, 160 East 31st Street is a two-family brick home offering scale, flexibility, and strong long-term upside in one of Brooklyn's most established residential neighborhoods. With classic curb appeal and solid construction, this property presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to renovate and create significant value.

Spanning approximately 2,400 square feet, the house features five bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms across two units. The upper duplex is thoughtfully laid out with four bedrooms and one-and-a-half bathrooms and enjoys direct access to a lovely backyard, ideal for entertaining, gardening, or everyday outdoor living. While the home would benefit from a full renovation, the space offers great natural light, generous room sizes, and a layout that can be reimagined into a modern, high-end residence.

The lower unit is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, well suited for rental income, extended family use, or a private workspace. With the proper updates, this unit can further enhance the overall income potential or functionality of the property.

The home is ideally positioned near the 2 and 5 subway lines at Newkirk Avenue-Little Haiti station and the B and Q lines at Church Avenue station, providing convenient access throughout Brooklyn and into Manhattan. Nearby bus routes include the B8, B44, and B35. Everyday conveniences are close by, including Key Food, Associated Supermarkets, and ShopRite, along with a variety of neighborhood restaurants, coffee shops, and local services. Nearby parks add to the neighborhood's appeal and overall livability.

With strong bones, a flexible layout, and a prime location, 160 East 31st Street is ideal for buyers ready to take on a full renovation project and unlock its true potential as a customized home or high-performing investment in the heart of East Flatbush.

The Q, 2, and 5 trains connect the neighborhood to Manhattan, while Prospect Park's 526 acres of green space border the northern edge. The restored Kings Theatre, a 1920s-era landmark performance venue, and Erasmus Hall High School, founded in 1786, are among the area's most notable architectural features.
