Built in 1920, this well-maintained legal three-family property offers approximately 3,000 square feet of interior space and sits on a generous 34.67 ft x 90 ft lot. Offering a unique blend of space, flexibility, and income potential, the property is well suited for buyers seeking a primary residence with rental income or investors looking for a versatile Brooklyn investment property.
