About This Property
Tucked away on a quiet residential street in the Ocean Hill section of Bedford-Stuyvesant, 11 Dewey Place is a charming two-family townhouse currently configured as a spacious single-family residence. Spanning three floors, this home offers a beautiful balance of original character, natural light, and versatility, with the opportunity to make it entirely your own.
Original hardwood floors run throughout the home, while generous windows invite natural light into its thoughtfully arranged living spaces.
The garden level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring an open kitchen, a comfortable living area, and a dedicated dining space with plenty of room to gather. Just beyond the kitchen, a generously sized private backyard offers a blank canvas for outdoor dining, gardening, or creating your own urban retreat.
On the second floor, an expansive primary bedroom offers excellent closet space and a peaceful place to unwind. Down the hall, a full bathroom and a charming office nook provide a dedicated space to work from home, create, or simply retreat.
A skylight illuminates the staircase leading to the top floor, where two additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a second full bathroom complete the home's inviting layout.
What makes 11 Dewey Place particularly compelling is its flexibility. Enjoy the generous proportions of a three-story single-family home, with room to evolve as your needs change, or explore the possibility of restoring its original two-family configuration and generating rental income to help offset your mortgage.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
On the garden level, the kitchen opens into the living area and a separate dining space, so cooking, sitting and eating all happen on one floor. The private backyard is just beyond the kitchen, which makes it an easy step outside for a meal. Original hardwood floors run through the house, and the central heating and central air are already in place.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom sits on the second floor with excellent closet space. Down the hall, a full bathroom and an office nook give you a separate spot to work, so a desk doesn't have to share space with the bedroom. The home also has built-ins and recessed lighting.
A skylight brightens the staircase up to the top floor, where two more bedrooms share a second full bathroom. The stairs do the separating here. Living space and bedrooms sit on different levels, so the upper floor stays quiet from the kitchen.
The house dates from 1910, and its defined rooms and original floors give it a character that newer apartments rarely have. The layout also gives you a choice. You can keep it as a single-family home, or restore its original two-family setup and rent part of it, which the listing mentions as a way to generate income.
The C train at Ralph Avenue is about 4 minutes on foot, and Rockaway Avenue is about 8 minutes. For daily errands, Lily Fruit and Vegetables is about 6 minutes away, and Hundred Acres, a Mediterranean restaurant, is about 5 minutes from the door.
