174 Franklin Street   Unit HOUSE

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! AWARD-WINNING LANDMARKED MIXED-USE BUILDING W/ AIR RIGHTS! This unique brick house consists of two upper residential two-bedroom apartments, and a fully renovated retail storefront. The strikingly handsome prewar brick facade won the Landmark Preservation Grassroots Award in 2010 after undergoing a redesign. The building is perfectly maintained and positioned on one of the best blocks on prime Franklin Street; the most sought after and polished strip for boutiques, restaurants, and caf?s in Greenpoint. On the ground floor, a fashion-forward clothing boutique impresses pedestrians with a prominent glass storefront showcase, dramatic 11ft. ceilings, a bathroom, and basement storage. Through the private resident's entrance, a corridor leads to a well-maintained patio and garden with a raised bluestone deck and custom built-ins, ideal for gardening, lounging with a book, or BBQ-ing and entertaining guests; a true treasure for its' residents.

The second and third-floor apartments are currently occupied, but can be delivered vacant as of August 2017. They feature two floor-through two-bedroom, one bathroom apartments with sun-bathed bedrooms at the front of the building, open living rooms, and high ceilings that create a loft-like feel that "Brooklynites" seek. The large eat-in kitchens feature updated cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite counter-tops, ample storage, and two large windows facing into the backyard patio. In addition, the luminous upper level unit has a recently fully renovated bathroom. Charming original details are carried throughout both units including original French doors and fireplaces. The upper unit features an open skylight allowing sunlight to pour into the apartment throughout the day. The two residential floors could be combined to create an impressive owner's duplex with retail income and a backyard, or the building could simply serve as a "cash cow" income-producing property with a Greenpoint loc
