Description
Welcome to 557 Pacific Street, a beautifully preserved FULLY VACANT brownstone in prime Boerum Hill. This stout, extra-wide building is an opportunity to blend the heritage of Brooklyn brownstone living with the convenience of contemporary BK. End-users can transform the entire building into the single-family home of their dreams. Savvy developers can convert to condos, such as a decadent duplex over an expansive triplex. The building is the tallest on the block, standing nearly 44' tall. It sits on an oversized 21-feet wide lot and possesses buildable floor area for expansion, making for near limitless opportunities. The 1910 structure currently spans five levels and 3,780 square feet of livable space. Unused FAR allows an additional 420 square feet for a potential final product with 4,800 square feet of total indoor area to enjoy. The excellent condition of the exterior highlights the key components for a successful renovation. In place are high parlor ceilings of 11'3" and exceptionally tall top floor height of 8'10. Very significant is the presence of a fully dug cellar with 7'3" ceilings already in place. The astute homeowner or developer will also appreciate the original fixtures and Art Deco details found throughout, such as original glass and tile work, built-in cabinetry and a banister in exceptional condition. Small details with significant importance also include unusually level floors for a townhouse of this age, reducing renovation costs for the next owner. Picture yourself entering a stunning open-concept garden level living room with ceilings soaring 20 feet above. Imagine entering the upper floor extension to find the primary bedroom you've always dreamed of. The south facing facade provides you exceptional light year round. The 1,050-square-foot garden is a lush and private outdoor escape - ideal for entertaining or relaxing. Incredible outdoor space with views of historic BK and the towers ascending in DTBK await. Rarely does a property like 557 Pacific Street come to market-with its historic integrity, expansion potential, and location near Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Fort Greene, Cobble Hill and booming Gowanus. Do not miss the unique chance to own a true piece of Brooklyn's architectural legacy and to guide its future.
