211 Halsey Street, Brooklyn, Ny 11216

Two-Family Townhouse. Brand-New Roof. Completely Vacant. Fully Repainted.

A beautifully maintained 1901 two-family townhouse on a quiet, tree-lined block in the heart of Bed-Stuy, between Marcy and Tompkins Avenues.

This home is delivered completely vacant - move in, rent it out, or do both. The roof is brand new. The interior has been freshly repainted and touched up throughout, so it’s move-in ready.

The Location

Bed-Stuy has it all: historic homes, tree-lined streets, and a great mix of cafés, restaurants, parks, and shops nearby.

211 Halsey sits right across the street from PS K140 and Potomac Playground - a rare, direct connection to both a school and green space. The block is quiet and residential, but Tompkins Avenue and Fulton Street are just a short walk away for everyday shopping, dining, and errands.

The Home
Built in 1901, the house still has its original character: high ceilings, decorative plaster moldings, original hardwood floors, and marble fireplaces. A crystal chandelier lights up the parlor floor.

Parlor Floor The formal living room centers on an arched mirror and a carved white marble mantel. Hardwood floors carry through into the dining room and kitchen. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a center island with seating, and open shelving. A French door off the kitchen leads out to the backyard.

An internal staircase connects all levels of the house - ground floor, parlor, and upper floors - so the whole building can function as one home if you choose. There are two washer/dryer setups: one in the shed at the rear of the home, and one in the basement.

Upper Duplex
The primary bedroom is bright and quiet, with two large windows facing the treetops and a decorative fireplace. There’s a second bedroom (used as a nursery) and a sunny home office that can be turned into another bedroom.
The bathroom has been renovated with a herringbone-tiled walk-in shower, a marble-topped vanity, and chrome fixtures.

Ground-Floor Unit
A separate, self-contained unit with two bedrooms, a full bathroom, split A/C, and a bright south-facing living and dining area that opens toward the backyard. Wide-plank floors, white cabinetry, and gray tile backsplash. This is a true two-family layout - live in one unit and rent the other, or rent both for full income.
