About this property
Prime Williamsburg Renovated House + Parking and 4500 SqFt additional Air Rights, 50’-wide Lot
Discover unbelievable unlocked potential on one of the city’s most prized “secret streets” with this 50-foot by 70-foot lot featuring a spacious, renovated three-family home and 4,500 square feet of available air rights. The possibilities are endless here on East Williamsburg’s Orient Avenue, one of Brooklyn’s most beautiful and peaceful blocks. Use the property as is, or create an outstanding private compound by converting the three-family home to a grand single-family residence with private parking and an outdoor oasis. Or maximize value by developing a condominium or rental building with the available FAR.
Inside the 2,800-square-foot three-family home, you’ll find tall ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, fresh paint, mini-split air-conditioning, and updated kitchens and baths on each floor. The large basement offers expansive rec room space, and the lot also includes a large storage shed. The building is easily amenable to conversion to a four-bedroom, five-bathroom single-family showplace (see alternate floor plan) with open living and dining rooms, a full-floor owner’s suite, three secondary bedrooms, a playroom and a media room. Stretching beside and behind the existing home, the remaining outdoor space is currently used for parking and recreation.
Called “a sanctuary” and “a quiet oasis” by its proud residents, Orient Avenue is one of the city’s shortest and most unique streets. Originally developed with grand Victorian mansions in the 1800s, the block-long enclave was once known as Doctor’s Row. Make your way here from vibrant Metropolitan Avenue, around a quant community garden, and feel transported by massive mature trees and a quaint one-way street. Straight ahead, you’ll find glorious Cooper Park, featuring a dog run, skate park, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds and more.
Situated where East Williamsburg, Williamsburg and Greenpoint meet, this property is also surrounded by excellent shopping, dining and nightlife venues. Famed McCarren Park and Brooklyn Steel are nearby. Three blocks away, the Graham Avenue L train reaches Manhattan in just three stops, while the G train, excellent bus service, CitiBikes and the Brooklyn Queens Expressway provide easy access to wherever your travels may take you.
