Built in 1901, 234 A 7th Street is a classic brick townhouse with a great location in the middle of a quiet block, close to the best of Gowanus and Park Slope. This legal 2-family home is fully operational and financeable, with a garden duplex plus cellar and a sunny floor-through apartment on the top floor. The south-facing garden is a sunny and open oasis away from the bustle of Brooklyn, and a great place to relax, entertain, and put your green thumb to good use. Here is an opportunity to renovate and customize an historic home to create the quintessential Brooklyn townhouse of your dreams. There's room to expand by up to 1,400 square feet 'as of right,' with a rooftop addition and/or an extension into the backyard. The F/G/R subways are just two short blocks away, and the Old Stone House Park, Prospect Park, and Methodist Hospital are close by. Much of Brooklyn's best shopping, restaurants, and other amenities are easily accessible (e.g., Whole Foods, The Bell House, Stone Park Caf, the YMCA, Barbes, and Four and Twenty Blackbirds). Come see this beautiful townhouse and make it the backdrop for your life in Brooklyn.
