From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

Own a classic Brooklyn brownstone while two rental apartments help offset the cost of ownership. 232A Putnam Avenue is an updated legal 3-family offering 3,448 sq ft, 6 bedrooms and 4 baths, with an exceptional owner-plus-income configuration. The centerpiece is an approximately 1,700 sq ft garden/parlor duplex featuring 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 baths, an updated granite kitchen with dishwasher, washer/dryer alcove, high ceilings, abundant front-to-back natural light, and direct access to a large private backyard. Above are two separate 2-bedroom apartments, providing substantial rental-income potential. The sun-filled top-floor apartment is enhanced by two skylights. Built in 1899, this handsome brownstone combines Brooklyn character with updated interiors and remarkably low annual property taxes of approximately $4,436. Ideal for an owner-occupant seeking generous living space with income from two additional apartments, or an investor looking for a well-positioned 3-family property. Convenient to neighborhood dining, shopping and transportation.
