A rare opportunity in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, offering the perfect blend of luxury townhouse living and compelling income potential.

Configured as a three-family currently set up across four full floors (plus a basement), this expansive 3,800 sq ft brownstone features 11 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms across beautifully proportioned layouts. The garden level and basement combine to create an ideal owner’s duplex, opening directly to a paved private backyard, perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.

Throughout the home, refined finishes and thoughtful upgrades include hardwood floors, oversized windows, soaring ceilings, and sleek kitchens with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances. Spa-like tiled bathrooms, in-unit washer/dryers, dishwashers, and select ensuite layouts enhance both comfort and convenience.

Crowning the home is a private rooftop terrace with skyline views, offering a striking setting for entertaining or quiet retreat.

The upper units deliver strong rental income potential, making this an exceptional live-with-income opportunity. With separate gas and electric meters, four boilers, and individual hot water tanks, tenants cover their own utilities, allowing for efficient, streamlined ownership.

A timeless Brooklyn brownstone reimagined for modern living – sophisticated, income-producing, and ready to be called home.
