Welcome to this 22’ wide historic brownstone on a tree-lined block in Clinton Hill. Currently being used as an investment property with an established rent roll of all four units, but could easily become an impressive Owner’s Duplex with a lush and extra long backyard with three income producing apartments above.
The facade is in excellent condition and there are a wealth of original details throughout the entire townhouse. This is also an extra long lot which allows for a sprawling backyard stretching 76 feet with multiple mature trees! The parlour level of the duplex has soaring ceilings and enormous windows, with a spacious dining room and an inviting open kitchen. The garden level of the duplex has the option for 3 bedrooms. The next floor contains two charming one bedroom apartments with beautiful views, and at the top of townhouse is a floor-thru two bedroom with a home office.
On the corner of Lefferts Place and Grand Avenue, this is a serene residential block that is in close proximity to an abundance of restaurants and stores. Nestled along the border between Clinton Hill and Prospect Heights with equal access to all that both excellent neighborhoods have to offer. Just a few minutes to multiple trains (A/C/S/G), a variety of bus lines, and several Citibike stations.
