Description
227 Kent Avenue is located in the most exciting, emerging pocket of the Williamsburg Waterfront, diagonally across from Domino Park designed by James Corner Field Operations, the same firm that was the lead on the High Line. As part of the overall Domino redevelopment project, this massive public park stretches a quarter of a mile and brings with it a new waterfront esplanade and six acres of parkland. Built in 1899, 227 Kent Avenue is a mixed-use townhouse that has been lovingly restored and maintained. Currently taxed as a 3Unit, the building has three 'quintessentially Brooklyn' residential units with a commercial overlay. The ground floor was used as a Pilates Studio until recently. Each unit enjoys private outdoor space and has original details including high ceilings - some with original beams, hardwood floors, exposed brick and marble mantels. CAN BE DELIVERED VACANT!There is a full cellar with sidewalk access and generous ceiling height. Additional FAR, and R6A zoning with a MX-8 commercial overlay provide an incredible opportunity to dream BIG.
