Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by R New York.
A ground-floor deli and four apartments above it make 251 Bergen Street a mixed-use townhouse, and that setup has a clear upside and a clear cost. The deli is an established tenant with about three years left on its lease and built-in 5% annual escalations, so the first floor is already generating income. The trade-off is that the ground floor is a working storefront, so the building is shared between commercial and residential use from the start.
Townhouse living gives you more separation between floors than a unit in a larger building, and that's the part I'd weigh most if you're thinking about how the space would work for you. Stairs and the upkeep of the whole structure fall to the owner, so it's worth being clear on those responsibilities before you decide.
At 3,204 square feet, the property has four bedrooms and five bathrooms, and it comes with central air. The listing describes it as a classic New York mixed-use building, and the layout gives you a single house to manage alongside its rental units.
Boerum Hill puts you close to transit. Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr is about 7 minutes on foot and serves the 2, 3, 4, 5, B, D, N, Q and R, and Hoyt-Schermerhorn Sts is about 8 minutes away. Foodtown is about 4 minutes on foot, and Nicholas Naquan Heyward Jr. Park, at 1.041 acres, is about 5 minutes away.
