## Property Overview

An Exceptional Property with Two Vacant Houses

This rare Brooklyn property in the heart of Park Slope offers an unusual opportunity to own two charming houses built on the same lot. Developed in the 1880's and 90's to include a three-story row house on the street, and a two-story carriage house at the rear of the property, the buildings are separated by a 30-foot deep, approximately 675 square foot garden. A private gate and walkway situated to the west of the front house provide access to both the garden and rear house from the street.

Currently configured as four apartments across the two houses, 259 8th Street includes a two bedroom two bathroom duplex, and three one bedroom, one bathroom units. All of the apartments are currently vacant and will be delivered as such at closing. Located on a prime Park Slope block, this property offers many possibilities for investors, end users, or those seeking a unique Brooklyn compound.

The property's front house includes two apartments. An upper duplex has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an approx. 110 square foot deck overlooking the garden, and a sunny south-facing parlor floor living room with original wide plank 19th century pine flooring. The garden level apartment is a cozy one bedroom, one bathroom layout, with its own private entrance and door to the garden. The two apartments could be combined with relative ease to create a one-family layout.

Situated at the back of the lot, on the north side of the property's garden--the rear house has a rare bucolic feeling. Both of the building's one-bedroom one-bathroom units face south onto the garden, with side windows and views of the neighbor's verdant garden to the east.

Known for its tree-lined brownstone blocks, vibrant dining scene, and close proximity to the majestic Prospect Park, Park Slope is considered one of the most desirable neighborhoods in New York.

8th Street between 4th and 5th Avenues is not included in the neighborhood's historic district, and the buildings' remaining FAR could be utilized to expand their existing interior square footage.

Based on house sales in Park Slope with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through September 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3009980053. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
