Multi Family, 680 E 23RD Street #, Flatbush - Real Estate New York

Description

Set on a pretty, tree-lined street in the heart of South Midwood, this stately two-family home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn's architectural history. Spanning three stories with original detail throughout, 680 East 23rd Street invites a thoughtful renovation and restoration, one that honors the craftsmanship of the past while allowing room for modern reimagining.

This gracious property features two units - an excellent opportunity to generate income to help make your dream of home ownership a reality. The first unit is an expansive two bedroom one bathroom home on the first floor. With its own entrance and approximately 1200 square feet this unit features a large foyer, a formal dining room and living room, both with bay windows, two nicely sized bedrooms and a spacious kitchen with walk-in pantry.

The second unit is currently configured as a four bedroom, one bathroom duplex spanning the second and third floors. A truly grand home, the first floor features a formal dining room and living room, both with bay windows, a large kitchen, a sunroom off the living room, and a bonus room adjacent to the living room which would make an excellent library, home office or sitting room. The second level of the duplex has an additional two-three bedrooms with ample flexibility to add another bathroom or two, and/or an additional home office. It also has plenty of closet and storage space.

A second interior staircase in the back of this home makes for an ideal home sharing set-up as it allows both units easy access to the basement laundry and storage, and the backyard. It also makes it possible to gain easy, direct access to the third floor from the outside without using the main entrance for the duplex apartment.

Period detail abound throughout including original moldings, pocket doors, stained glass windows, a decorative fireplace and an elegant wraparound porch. A deep, private backyard stretches nearly 40 feet deep, and there is a private driveway with room to hold several cars.

Positioned within the Victorian Flatbush, South Midwood is known for its quiet charm and architectural diversity. Easy access to several trains including the Avenue H Q train, Flatbush Junction 2 and 5 trains or the Q and B trains at Newkirk Plaza.
