Brooklyn, NY 11230

A detached 2-family house nestled on a lush, tree-lined street in Ditmas Park, 551 Argyle Rd is a prime opportunity to blend contemporary luxury and convenience with vintage Brooklyn charm.

It has a pair of duplex units that can be combined or left as is, and it possesses an incredible number of well-preserved original details.

The first unit has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and access to a huge basement space. It has several entry points, formal living and dining rooms, a fireplace, a windowed kitchen, and an abundance of closet space. The second unit sits on the second and third floors of the house and has 5 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a fireplace, 2 windowed kitchens, and separate living and dining rooms. All rooms are well proportioned and have large sash windows.
