A beautifully proportioned, 20-foot-wide three-story townhouse offers a timeless blend of original detail and potential. Located in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and close enough to Bushwick to enjoy the best of both neighborhoods, the bright, high-ceilinged home retains many classic townhouse features. Five ornamental mantels, original crown molding, and timeless wainscoting add warmth and charm to this circa 1899 residence. Currently configured as a legal two-family, the layout includes a five-room rental on the top floor and an owner's duplex plus cellar below, with access to both front and rear south-facing garden. The home will be delivered vacant, allowing for a seamless conversion to a spacious single-family if desired. The entire property is accessible from the parlor-floor entry, offering flexibility in how the space is used. An open garden level is both versatile and inviting, with direct access to a private backyard, perfect for creating your complete indoor-outdoor retreat. Surrounded by parks, playgrounds, and community gardens, as well as many shopping and dining options, 699 Decatur is an ideal location. Nearby to transportation, terrific for anyone looking to enjoy both tranquility and convenience in one of Brooklyn’s most vibrant neighborhoods.

R6
General Residence District
R6 zoning districts are widely mapped in built-up, medium-density areas in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx. The character of R6 districts can range from neighborhoods with a diverse mix of building types and heights to large-scale tower in the park developments such as Ravenswood in Queens and Homecrest in Brooklyn. Developers can choose between two sets of bulk regulations. Standard height factor regulations, introduced in 1961, produce small multi-family buildings on small zoning lots and, on larger lots, tall buildings that are set back from the street. Optional Quality Housing regulations produce high lot coverage buildings within height limits that often reflect the scale of older, pre-1961 apartment buildings in the neighborhood.
