Built in the 1920s - and originally home to Engine Company 257, this former firehouse has a remarkable past. Most recently a film production studio for an Academy Award-winning director, 124 DeKalb Avenue has now been re-imagined as two one-of-a-kind residences. These spectacular full-floor lofts both offer soaring 16' ceilings, generous storage space and abundant natural light flowing south to north through the home's two exposures.
This remarkable residential conversion is situated on the southwest corner of beautiful Ft. Greene Park. With 25' of street frontage, and 77' deep, the steel-framed building encompasses 5,775 sq ft of uninterrupted living space - without the need for internal support columns. The space can be kept as a two-family home (with income potential), or be transformed into a single-family mansion or dramatic live-work space. Vast open interior volume like this is extremely rare - and allows for endless floor plan possibilities.
Other standout property features include a private two-car garage, a full basement and a beautifully restored original staircase. Art Deco-era detail is showcased throughout in etched glass panels, oak/marble trim and barrel-vaulted ceilings. The top-floor apartment also boasts a roof deck with treetop views of brownstone Brooklyn.
Located in prime Ft. Greene, 124 DeKalb is surrounded by world-renowned attractions like the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Barclays Center. Nearby retail options abound, including Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and the Apple Store. When it's time for a night out, the burgeoning local restaurant scene - with mainstays like Cafe Paulette, Walter's and Dino - will please any palate. With easy access to the B, Q, N, R, 2, 3, 4, 5 and G trains, as well as the Long Island Railroad, the entire city - and region - are at your doorstep.
This is the ultimate dream home for those who appreciate history - and who want to be in the heart of New York City's hottest borough. Don't miss your chance to make this very special property, your own.
