This three-story residence over a full cellar retains an abundance of original pre-war detail, including ornamental plaster ceiling medallions, stained-glass windows, and other architectural touches, the kind of craftsmanship that’s increasingly hard to find. It’s a home in need of a full transformation, offering a new owner the chance to bring their own imagination and vision to reshape it for modern living while preserving its architectural soul. The facade presents classic brownstone-block character, contributing to the unbroken streetscape that has made Halsey Street a beloved and, in sections, landmarked corridor within the neighborhood. Located just moments from the A/C trains at Utica Avenue, with easy access to the J line as well, commuting into Manhattan or across Brooklyn is straightforward. The block is surrounded by the neighborhood’s best: acclaimed restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, and boutiques along Malcolm X Blvd, plus Herbert Von King Park nearby for green space. This is a cash buyers only opportunity, ideal for an investor, developer, or end-user ready to bring their vision to a home with tremendous bones and untapped potential. ## Property Details - **Property Type**: Multi Family - **Beds**: 6 - **Baths**: 3 - **Rooms**: 12 - **Sqft**: 2,466 sqft - **Stories**: 3 - **Year Built**: 1899 - **Price per Sqft**: $629 - **Monthly Taxes**: $423 / mo - **Listed On**: Sep 28, 2026 - **Days on Market**: 21 Days ### Residence Features - See Remarks - Full ## Estimated Monthly Payment **$8,261 / month**, assuming a 20% down payment ($310,000), a 6.5% interest rate and a 30-year term.

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 3016670014. 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.
