Brooklyn (Vinegar Hill), NY, 11201 | $3,495,000

Built in Greek revival style during the early 1800s, The Landmark Preservation Commission recognized this row of Vinegar Hill townhouses as a protected Historic Landmark District in 1997. On this charming cobble stone street, 54 Hudson Avenue is a townhouse that provides a clear view into the past for your best days ahead.

54 Hudson Avenue is a multi-use townhouse consisting of two charming floor through residential apartments, a classic storefront/office, a fully equipped art studio, and lovely garden. The mechanicals are located in the sub cellar.

Once used as a set for Boardwalk Empire, this light filled, open layout storefront offers many options for use. The vintage features include a bay window, pressed relief decorative ceilings, and crown moldings. School house lighting fixtures, and custom stainless steel shelving add an efficient, contemporary touch. The mechanicals are upgraded to current standards. They include a fully renovated bathroom and a high quality, split central air-conditioning system. The storefront is ready for business, classes, or for your own personal use. This warm and inviting space provides a perfect home to set up your shop, art studio, exercise studio, or office. Or, collect market rate income by renting out the store.

Extend your business into the garden seasonally, keep the garden as your personal sanctuary, or both.

The artist studio is located directly below the storefront. The open space has direct access to the garden and street. Specifically designed for a sculpture and pottery studio, the open floorplan has many uses to suit your needs. This space is equipped with all new electric and plumbing, and split central air conditioning. Additionally, the studio is upgraded with ceramic tile floors, high end lighting, a large double stainless steel sink, and an additional renovated bathroom. It is all set up, and ready to use.

The brand-new mechanicals to service this home are in the sub cellar, below the artist studio.

As Electricity was not available at the time this townhouse was built, each apartment has large windows for maximum natural light. Each apartment has a thoughtful kitchen layout including updated appliances.

The second floor apartment maintains an open floorplan. The bathroom is fully renovated with high end fixtures and a washer/dryer. Original woodwork and doors are carefully preserved. Natural light and brownstone charm.

The top floor residential apartment has high beamed ceilings, a restored vintage bathroom, and a private deck with skyline views.

This is a townhouse that integrates home and work, separated by floors. This historic property is ideal for private use, live/work, or an investment property, in full or in part. High quality materials are combined with original historic charm inside and outside. Light filled throughout, where workspace will feel like home.

Each residential apartment is ready for occupancy. The two apartments can be combined into a spectacular duplex, if desired.

Near Brooklyn Heights and the world class Brooklyn Bridge Park, you can experience the great new shops and restaurants close by in Dumbo, Fort Greene, and Downtown Brooklyn.

The peace and tranquility at 54 Hudson Avenue remains the same.
