628 BERGEN Street #House

Move right into this 20-foot wide brick townhouse stunner in the heart of Prospect Heights. This 2700sf home is a legal three-family currently set up as a two-family, with an owner's duplex below a generous 2br free-market rental, and a 900sf unfinished basement.  Low taxes and utilities, this home is in the Prospect Heights Historic District, and additional FAR is available. Enjoy the best of both worlds, with townhouse living as it was originally intended alongside many of today's luxuries. Original details include a wood burning fireplace, mantels, high ceilings, oversized windows and crown molding. Modern amenities include brand new double pane windows, custom-outfitted closets, updated kitchens and bathrooms and vented washer-dryers in both the owner's duplex and the rental unit. In the owner's duplex, you will find a Miele dishwasher, Caeserstone countertops, a Samsung refrigerator that produces sparkling water at the touch of a button, a two-door oven, one of which is convection, and a five-burner stovetop. Recent upgrades include a new water heater, upgraded electrical (200 amp) throughout and re-lined chimneys. Relax in your tranquil south-facing backyard with unobstructed views, home to a gorgeous mature oak tree that provides welcome shade on warm Brooklyn summer days. For those sensitive to noise, the Nest-controlled heating system is virtually silent, and the hardwood floors have been installed properly, resulting in no disturbance from those moving around on upper floors. The free market rental unit is lovely, has many amenities (dishwasher, washer-dryer, plenty of storage) and is currently tenant-occupied, ensuring a substantial additional income to the owner. Just a few houses off Vanderbilt Avenue, excellent dining is at your doorstep, like Olmstead, Chuko, Alta Calidad, Faun, Lalou, White Tiger, R&D, The James, Nuaa Table, Cafe Gloria, cocktail bar Weather Up, and countless more. Your choice of dessert -- Ample Hills or Van Leeuwen, Little Cupcake Bakeshop, Dough, or the pie counter at Four & Twenty Blackbirds. For the at-home chef, there's a top quality fish market, Mermaid's Garden, and the brand new Prospect Heights Butcher Shop. Enjoy vibrant weekends with Vanderbilt Avenue Open Streets, the Greenmarket at Grand Army Plaza, and the splendors of Prospect Park just minutes away.  An incredibly convenient location, public transit options abound. Citibike is just across Vanderbilt, and you are a short walk to the B/Q at 7th Ave, the 2/3 at Flatbush, and the C at Clinton-Washington. Plus the B65 and B69 are a 1 minute walk away.
