About This Home

Presenting this exceptional gem in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn: a legal four-family property featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms, perfectly designed for those seeking to combine personal living space with strong income potential. Live in one unit while the remaining units generate attractive rental income or reconfigure the layout to match your vision and lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, this property feels like home — featuring high ceilings, abundant natural light, a roof less than 10 years old, a boiler under two years old, a recently updated hot water tank, four-zone heating, and a charming. Offering approximately 3,104 square feet of living space, the property has been well maintained and presents exceptional potential for both end-users and investors alike. The location is truly unmatched: The bus stop is just a few steps away, with a Citi Bike station around the corner, one block from the subway, and offering direct access to Manhattan within minutes, with excellent proximity to both the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. Surrounded by boutique shops, premier restaurants, and upscale supermarkets, and located just minutes from Downtown Brooklyn. The property is being sold as-is and drive-by only, currently occupied by one tenant. Buyers understand that the property will be transferred with the current occupancy in place, which is reflected in the competitive pricing compared to surrounding properties in the area. This creates a unique value-add opportunity and makes it an exceptional acquisition for investors seeking long-term upside, future repositioning potential, and strategic value in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable neighborhoods. All information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyers must independently verify taxes, square footage, condition, occupancy, and all other property details.
