124 Dekalb Ave

If the walls could talk? Built in the early 1900's, this firehouse would speak about the fact that it was initially built as a water tower, served as NYC Fire Department Engine 256, was marked as a civil defense bomb shelter, housed a celebrated film maker and his production studio for 20+ years and has been converted into 2 glorious duplex loft apartments with a huge sun deck off of the 3rd floor. There is a huge garage and office spaces on the ground level. The firehouse has been meticulously renovated where the owner has incorporated and preserved art deco touches with etched glass, tile, oak, skylights and marble. 16 foot ceilings, abundant cedar closets and floor to ceiling windows everywhere. Enter the arched, gated oversized garage for parking 2 to 3 cars and make use of the 3 large office spaces beyond the cars. The full basement is 25'by almost 100'where the high ceilings, walls and joists are a foot and a half thick with steel cores. Just blocks from the Barclay Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Shopping Mall and trains. The firehouse overlooks Fort Greene Park. Call me to discuss the possibilities. Tenants in place.
