About This Home
Townhome living for the price of a condo! Welcome to 889 Herkimer Street: a sunny, move-in ready single-family townhome nestled on a quiet, tree-lined block of BedStuy.
Configured as three bedrooms, a home office, and two full bathrooms across two stories - plus a full cellar - this home was gut-renovated in 2020 and has been maintained as a strong-performing investment property for the past six years. South-facing exposure floods the living and dining areas with natural light, while the home's north-facing rear provides a peaceful retreat overlooking an expansive backyard. The interior features a clean aesthetic with porcelain tile flooring throughout, a modern kitchen outfitted with stainless steel appliances, and two spacious bathrooms. Oversized walk-in closets offer exceptional storage throughout, complemented by a separate cellar with even more flexibility for storage. Additional highlights include central HVAC, vented laundry, and a rare side access point to the backyard - creating an ideal setup for entertaining, gardening, or everyday ease. For investors and end-users alike, the property also offers additional buildable FAR, presenting a compelling opportunity for future expansion.
Located in the heart of BedStuy, 889 Herkimer Street is surrounded by a vibrant and rapidly evolving dining and café scene. Local favorites like Milk & Pull and Rita & Maria offer excellent coffee and casual brunch options, while nearby staples such as Good Ol Days Diner and Xcellent Soul Food bring a strong neighborhood following for comfort food. Groceries are a breeze with Associated Supermarket directly around the corner, and the freshest produce at Lily Fruit & Vegetable. Perfectly positioned just minutes from Manhattan via the express A train at Utica and local C just two blocks away at Ralph, this home combines space, light, and long-term upside in one well-rounded offering.
