419 Halsey St

This two family brownstone has passed through generations and is ready to start a new legacy with the next happy owners. It could use some updating, but it is absolutely beautiful and ready to be restored to its full potential. With its brick and brownstone facade and original details, like decorative fireplaces, wood shutters, tall ceilings with crown molding and tin ceilings, it's character and charm are endless. Configured as a three bedroom duplex with access to a large garden, and a top floor one bedroom rental, it could easily be used as a single family home, or, as an upper duplex over a garden-level rental. Best of all, it's in Bedford Stuyvesant's sweet spot, where it's most popular cafes and hang-outs are located, so authentic Italian gourmet pizza, cappuccino, cocktails, delicious southern food, karaoke, movie nights at Fulton Park, the public library and more are nearby. Saraghina is doors away, and, Peaches, Beso, Bread Love, Georges-Andre Cafe, Marcus Vineyard, Therapy Wine Bar and more are within a few blocks. If you have a green thumb, you can grow flowers and food in your garden at home, or, in the community garden across the street which also provides access to produce from local farmers. The Utica Avenue A/C express stop is a pleasant walk past cafes and through Fulton Park, with a ride to lower Manhattan in 15 minutes. Buses go to Williamsburg, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill if you want a break from the train or driving.
