Listing Notes

Welcome to this incredible opportunity to own a 2-family home (can be delivered vacant) on a 50x100 lot in a sought-after Cypress Hills neighborhood of Brooklyn! Situated in an R5B zoning district, this property offers great potential for investors or homeowners looking to expand. The first-floor unit features 4 spacious bedrooms and 1 bathroom, while the second-floor unit offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Both units boast hardwood floors throughout, abundant natural light, and a well-maintained interior. Additionally, the home includes a NEWLY RENOVATED walk-in basement with a separate entrance, providing additional storage and space. The roof was replaced just 2 years ago, adding long-term value and peace of mind. The expansive lot includes multiple parking spaces, a rare and valuable asset in Brooklyn. Conveniently located just 4 blocks from the J & Z trains as well! Whether you're an investor looking for development potential under R5B zoning or a homeowner seeking space and rental income, this property is a must-see
