718 Putnam Avenue, Brooklyn (Stuyvesant Heights), NY, 11221 | $2,750,000

718 Putnam Avenue — Brownstone Living with Meaningful Income Potential A rare opportunity for a purchaser seeking the scale, character, and lifestyle of classic Brooklyn brownstone living while benefiting from substantial supplemental rental income. Offered at $2, 750, 000, 718 Putnam Avenue is a legal four-family brownstone that presents exceptional flexibility for an owner-occupant, multi-generational household, or live-plus-income buyer. Combining a spacious owner's residence with three additional free-market apartments, the property offers the opportunity to significantly offset monthly ownership costs while enjoying the comforts of a private home. Currently configured with a generously proportioned owner's garden triplex spanning the lower level, garden, and parlor floors, the residence is complemented by three income-producing apartments above. Flexible Living for Modern Households For buyers seeking a multi-generational living arrangement, the property's layout provides remarkable adaptability. Whether accommodating extended family, long-term guests, an au pair or nanny suite, dedicated home offices, or evolving lifestyle needs, the home offers the ability to remain connected while maintaining privacy and independence under one roof. Several leases expire throughout 2026, creating opportunities to gradually expand owner occupancy, reconfigure living arrangements, or reposition rents to market levels as leases naturally turn over. The owner's garden triplex can also be delivered vacant, as it is currently occupied on a month-to-month basis. All apartments are fully free-market, allowing future ownership flexibility without rent-stabilization restrictions. Current Income Profile The property currently generates approximately $189, 720 in annual gross rental income, creating a meaningful offset to ownership costs while preserving future flexibility for expanded owner occupancy. The owner's garden triplex is currently leased at $7, 300 per month ($87, 600 annually) and may be delivered vacant at closing. The second-floor front one-bedroom apartment generates $2, 350 per month ($28, 200 annually), while the second-floor rear one-bedroom apartment generates $2, 750 per month ($33, 000 annually). The third-floor residence is currently leased at $3, 410 per month ($40, 920 annually). As leases naturally roll over, future ownership will have the ability to adjust rents to market conditions, expand personal occupancy, or tailor the property's configuration to evolving family and lifestyle needs. Thoughtfully Renovated & Operationally Efficient -Renovated kitchens featuring updated cabinetry, countertops, tilework, fixtures, and appliances -Updated bathrooms with modern finishes and plumbing fixtures -Replaced and refinished flooring throughout multiple residences -Contemporary lighting and fixture packages -Finished lower level incorporated into the owner's triplex -Professionally hardscaped rear yard creating a low-maintenance outdoor retreat -Rebuilt front stoop completed in recent years Ownership also undertook a major infrastructure improvement by fully decommissioning the traditional boiler system and installing individual mini-split heating and cooling systems throughout the building. A Compelling Ownership Opportunity Whether envisioned as a primary residence supplemented by rental income, a long-term multi-generational home, or an investment property with future owner-occupancy potential, 718 Putnam Avenue offers a compelling combination of lifestyle, flexibility, income generation, and modernized infrastructure within one of Brooklyn's most desirable brownstone neighborhoods. Ownership has also proactively addressed historical DOB and public-record references indicating prior six-family usage. Supporting documentation, including a DOB clarification letter and related materials confirming the property's legal configuration and use, will be made available within the due diligence package for qualified purchasers.
