400 Stuyvesant Avenue
Description
400 Stuyvesant was constructed in 1899 by steel-importer Thomas Prosser...Welcome to 400 Stuyvesant Avenue — a beloved limestone nine-unit landmark in the heart of historic Stuyvesant Heights. Located among the some of the most beautiful brownstones in Bedford Stuyvesant — and mere steps from the express A train — 400 Stuyvesant is notable for its classic limestone elegance and extensive c.5,342 square feet — filling the corner property. The architecture, location and opportunity are all exceptional.
400 Stuyvesant was constructed in 1899 by steel-importer Thomas Prosser and Assemblyman Walter F. Clayton using the designs of the renowned Swedish architect Axel S. Hedman. This edifice possesses a rich and storied past beginning with its initial proprietors, the scandalous Sutton family, before transforming into the Brooklyn Welcome Home for Girls and subsequently serving as the headquarters for the Brooklyn Presbyterian Home for the Aged. Currently, 400 Stuyvesant Avenue is a nine-unit rent-stabilized community with some exceptional remaining architectural detailing and a profitable operation.
The awe-inspiring parlor floor with its triple-exposure — the crown jewel of the building — will be delivered vacant. High ceilings, bowed bay windows, ornate plaster molding, floor-to-ceiling pier mirror, original woodwork and built-ins are all intact as it was in 1899. We believe George Halbert created the original murals in the owners unit. His wallpaper catalogue is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Well-maintained and upgraded, 400 Stuyvesant has numerous improvements including solid mechanicals; new roof and skylight; Viessman Vitodens Ultra High Efficiency Boiler with an EZ Generator switch; Nebia High Efficiency Low-flow showers; Guard Dog water valves; water-conserving smart valve; Ring doorbells, Nest security camera system and Yale digital front door lock; and the building is wired for FIOS high-speed internet. The property comes with its own 3D printer and scanner saving time and money in replacing hard-to-find appliance parts, and a deep-freezer. Please email for rent roll and expenses.
