## Property Overview

Offered for the first time in over half a century, 37 Chester Avenue is a solid two-family brick residence that blends scale, versatility, and long-term pride of ownership. Built in 1930 and thoughtfully maintained by the same family for over 50 years, this is a rare opportunity to step into a home with both history and future upside.

Spanning approximately 2,800 livable square feet, the property is configured across two expansive residential floors. Each unit features three full bedrooms, a spacious living room, formal dining room, and an eat-in kitchen, providing comfortable, well-proportioned layouts ideal for end-users and/or income-producing potential.

Original charm shines through with beautiful wood flooring, generous closet space, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light throughout the day.

The home is further enhanced by a full finished, windowed basement complete with its own kitchen, half bathroom, and separate front entrance, offering flexibility for extended living, recreation, or potential additional use (buyer to verify).

Additional highlights include a private attached garage, a true Brooklyn luxury that adds both convenience and value.

Perfectly positioned on the Kensington / Windsor Terrace border, you’re moments from the iconic Green-Wood Cemetery and just a short distance to Prospect Park. The neighborhood offers a vibrant mix of local cafes, restaurants, and everyday conveniences, with easy access to transportation including the F and G trains, as well as multiple bus lines (B35, B16, B67, B69).

Well cared for and deeply loved, 37 Chester Avenue presents a compelling opportunity for the next owner to live, invest, and create something truly special.

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 3053050004. 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.
