Nestled in the heart of Prospect Park South, one of Brooklyn’s most picturesque and historic residential neighborhoods, This building presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial prewar six-story elevator apartment building offering both scale and long-term stability. Built in 1936, this stately brick property retains its original architectural charm while providing the solid infrastructure and spacious layouts that have made buildings of this vintage so enduringly desirable. Spanning approximately 48,000 square feet, the property is configured with 47 residential units, thoughtfully arranged to include a mix of two-, three-, four-, and five-room apartments, appealing to a wide range of tenants and creating a well-balanced, diversified rent roll.
The building occupies a 110-by-100-foot lot and is built to roughly 100 by 84 feet, maximizing its footprint and offering generous room counts — 132 total rooms in all. Its elevator service adds convenience and desirability, while the property’s R7A zoning provides excellent long-term flexibility and potential. Located between Albemarle Road and Beverly Road, 191 East 17th Street sits amid tree-lined streets and well-kept prewar buildings, just steps from Prospect Park’s lush open spaces, the B and Q subway lines at the Church Avenue and Beverley Road stations, and an array of neighborhood amenities including cafes, restaurants, and shopping along Cortelyou and Church Avenues.
This asset offers investors the chance to own a significant free and clear multifamily property in a stable, high-demand residential corridor known for its strong tenant base and continued appreciation. With its prime location, classic architecture, and efficient unit mix, 191 East 17th Street combines scale, character, and steady performance — making it an ideal acquisition for both private investors and institutional owners seeking a reliable, well-located Brooklyn multifamily property with enduring long-term upside.
