Description

Introducing 156 Willoughby Avenue, a four-family townhouse on one of Brooklyn’s most desirable and centrally located residential corridors, where opportunities to purchase this type of property are limited. At the Clinton Hill/Fort Greene intersection, this four-family building offers a compelling opportunity for buyers who want more space, more control, and more options than a typical Brooklyn apartment. Currently configured as four residential apartments, the property can support a range of living arrangements, from an owner’s residence with rental income to a home shared with family, guests, or workspace. The building gives its next owner a strong starting point and room to make the property their own over time. Its four-family configuration allows a buyer to think creatively about how they want to use the space while owning a substantial property in an established Brooklyn neighborhood. Willoughby Avenue is close to Pratt Institute, Fort Greene Park, Downtown Brooklyn, Barclays Center, neighborhood restaurants, cafés, shopping, and convenient transportation. This location features historic architecture, tree-lined blocks, and easy access to the energy and amenities of central Brooklyn. Four-family townhouses in this part of Brooklyn rarely come to market. 156 Willoughby Avenue is an opportunity to purchase a well-located building and shape it around how you want to live today and in the future.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
