In a neighborhood full of exceptional architecture, this beautiful 2 family home is a true representation of the classic Brooklyn Brownstone. This duplex over garden level layout is ideal for an owner intending to offset the cost of a mortgage or for an investor to maximize returns from two units with incredibly low taxes.

Careful consideration was taken to preserve the charming historic details of this 19th Century brownstone and numerous upgrades have been made to the kitchen, bathrooms, hard wood flooring, building mechanicals, roof, additional electrical outlets, and all new windows. This home preserves much of the original detailing including intricate woodworking around the main entry and doorways, beautiful original vestibule doors, plaster ceiling medallions, bannisters, pocket doors, pocket shutters, inlay parquet floors, and 5 decorative fire places that give gorgeous character and charm throughout.
