Three-story (including below-grade basement with front and back entrances and windows), 17x48 brick townhouse on 25ft lot with two car garage in prime Gowanus on 8th Street. Around the corner from Four & Twenty Blackbirds, Bell House, Halyards, and close to Whole Foods. The renovated 1630sf upper duplex is loft-like with very high ceilings on the top floor. This duplex is currently configured as an open 1BR with an enormous luxury bath, or has the space and light to reconfigure well into two bedrooms and two baths on the top level. The separate basement floor with entrances and windows at front and back could be combined with the upper duplex into approximately 2,450sf of usable triplex. The property is grandfathered residential on an M2-1 zoned lot. The 25ft wide lot includes a driveway and two-car garage that have previously rented for $350 per month for each spot. The F/G/R trains at 4th Ave/9th St are just two blocks away for a quick commute to Manhattan and the rest of Brooklyn. Note: the property is designated 2-family and the basement has been used as a separate 1BR apartment for the past 25yrs but there is a 25 year old stop work order relating to the basement apartment and HPD violations to remove the basement kitchen. This sale is as-is. Special financing may be available with 35% down.
