Description

Here is an excellent opportunity to create your dream home. This legal two family Gowanus townhouse is available for the first time in over 60 years. Located on 14th Street between 3rd and 4th you are with in a stones throw of either the Prospect Avenue station or the 9th street station, you are with in a few blocks of all of the restaurants, night life and shopping that both Gowanus and Park Slope are renowned for. This home is currently set up as a top floor three bedroom apartment, a parlor floor level two bedroom and there is an unfinished but very clean and easily finished basement below. This home has all of the potential in the world to become the talk of the block. There are some very nice period details that remain in the home including marble fireplaces, crown moldings and the original bannister. The bones of this home are solid but it will require a cosmetic renovation. If you would like to keep it as an income producing two family home or if you would like to convert this into a single family home the ability to do so is there. The beauty of this is that there is a lot of development happening in and around Gowanus, mainly because the zoning allows it. This building is zoned R6B and you do have the potential to add square footage, please consult with an architect. This home is being sold in as is condition, it is also being sold with whatever items the family does not want to keep. It will be delivered vacant.
