About This Home

Nestled in the desirable new section of Gerritsen Beach, this property offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a quiet, coastal-inspired lifestyle in Brooklyn without being directly on the waterfront. Known for its tight-knit community and relaxed atmosphere, the neighborhood feels like a private seaside enclave while remaining conveniently connected via the Belt Parkway and multiple transit options. Residents enjoy access to the neighborhood’s hidden gem, Kiddie Beach—a peaceful, resident-friendly shoreline—as well as nearby Marine Park, offering miles of scenic trails, athletic fields, and expansive green space. Set on a beautiful 68-foot-wide double lot, this classic extended bungalow presents exceptional space and potential. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across approximately 1,360 square feet, the home is ideal for an end user ready to renovate or an investor seeking a value-add opportunity. The oversized lot is a true standout, offering flexibility for expansion, outdoor living, or future customization. The home includes a rear covered porch, detached 1-car garage, and parking for 3+ additional vehicles—a rare convenience in Brooklyn. Major systems including the electric, roof, furnace, and hot water heater were all updated approximately 13 years ago, providing a solid base for upgrades. A key feature is the approximately 5-foot-high cellar, which elevates the home and adds an extra layer of resilience against potential flooding. Notably, the property has experienced no flooding issues over the past 13 years, and current flood insurance is approximately $1,196 annually. Commuting is convenient with access to the BM4 express bus to Midtown Manhattan, as well as local bus routes including the B31, B36, and B44, which connect to nearby subway lines such as the B/Q trains at Sheepshead Bay and the 2/5 trains along Nostrand Avenue. The property is also within close proximity to local public schools, adding everyday convenience for end users. With its generous lot size, strong fundamentals, and prime location within one of Brooklyn’s most unique neighborhoods, this property offers a compelling opportunity to create your ideal home or investment.
