    Move-In Ready Investment Property, Three-Family Brownstone in the Heart of Bed-Stuy Perfectly positioned on a picturesque tree-lined block between Nostrand and Bedford Avenue, this move-in ready three-family brownstone embodies the timeless charm and modern functionality that define Brooklyn living. Set on a 20’ x 100’ lot with approximately 2,800 square feet of living space, the home offers a thoughtfully designed layout across three levels, including a finished basement with abundant storage and separate gas and electric meters for each unit—ideal for owners or investors seeking income-producing flexibility.
