About This Home

As of June 2025

Built in 1881 by R.C. Addy, 231 Vernon Avenue was home to notable early residents like Frederick H. Schroeder, a Brooklyn Commissioner, and Ms. M. Hutchins, a devoted teacher for the blind. Located on a tree-lined street in vibrant Bedford-Stuyvesant and just minutes from Bushwick, this charming, renovated two-family townhouse offers both comfort and convenience. The property features an owner's duplex and a top-floor apartment, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a personal residence with investment potential. This solid home has an updated roof and mechanical systems.

The owner's duplex occupies the lower two floors and has an open floor plan featuring exposed brick walls, a renovated kitchen with quartz countertops, white cabinetry, subway tile, and a double-width refrigerator, and a lovely backyard that offers a private oasis in the city. One floor up, you'll find three inviting bedrooms and one full bath

The top floor apartment has a spacious bedroom that spans the entire width of the home, allowing abundant sunlight to pour through three large windows. The romantic ensuite bath features dual sinks, quartz countertops, a standalone shower, and an elegant claw-foot tub. A living room and a kitchen at the rear complete this floor.

231 Vernon Avenue is conveniently located near the G, J, M & Z trains and a plethora of shopping on Broadway. Enjoy local establishments like BKLYN Blend, The Coyote Club, Winona's, Hook'T Bar & Grill & more. Local parks and playgrounds include Herbert Von King Park & the newly redesigned Jesse Owens Playground which includes a pool and track. A short walk will take you to many more great neighborhood favorites in both Bed Stuy and Bushwick.
