About this home

Offered for the first time in more than 50 years, 35 Melrose Street presents a rare opportunity to own a two-story Brooklyn residence with generous proportions, original architectural details, and substantial outdoor space. Built in 1899 and held by the same owners since 1971, the property offers approximately 1,725 square feet of above-grade interior space across two floors, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, two kitchens, living and dining rooms, and additional flexible room space. High ceilings, hardwood floors, decorative moldings, a decorative fireplace, and period details throughout reflect the home's original character, while a full basement provides approximately 750 additional square feet of excluded area. The home sits on a 20' x 95' lot totaling approximately 1,900 square feet, with a deep rear yard and patio providing considerable private outdoor space. Recent improvements include a roof and electrical system, both approximately five years old. Transportation options are close at hand including the nearby Myrtle Avenue JMZ station, providing direct subway service into Manhattan. The property is zoned R6 and currently utilizes a 0.84 FAR, compared with a residential FAR of 2.2 and facility FAR of 4.8. Please note: buyers interested in the property's development or expansion potential should independently verify zoning, allowable floor area, and permitted uses with their architect and appropriate professionals. Annual real estate taxes are approximately $1,885 before any applicable abatements. The property will be delivered vacant. Video tour available upon request.
