384 Van Brunt Street

Located at the corner of Van Brunt and Dikeman Streets, 384 Van Brunt is a 20-foot-wide, three-story brick townhouse built in 1899, with a commercial storefront, two spacious residential apartments, and a full basement. Thoughtfully upgraded and meticulously maintained, the building retains its historic character while offering modern functionality, abundant natural light, and exceptional flexibility. The ground floor features an expansive open-plan storefront with a custom full-width aluminum and glass folding door system, a private rear Ipe deck with concrete planters, and a full basement with backyard lightwell. The space is ideally suited for retail, hospitality, gallery, studio, or other creative uses. The second and third floors contain two bright, loft-like apartments with updated kitchens and baths, new windows, and generous natural light from multiple exposures and skylights. The second-floor apartment is approximately 1,000 square feet and can readily accommodate a two-bedroom configuration. The top floor offers flexible bedroom arrangements, treetop views, three large skylights, and 10-foot ceilings. Significant capital improvements include a new roof, skylights and windows; high-efficiency boilers and hot-water systems; complete electrical replacement; structural improvements allowing for more open interiors; extensive masonry restoration and tuck-pointing; and a custom cornice closely replicating the building’s original architectural detailing. Three compelling ways to own 384 Van Brunt: INVEST — Generate income from the commercial and residential spaces. LIVE + WORK — Operate a business, studio, or creative space below and live upstairs. REIMAGINE — Explore conversion into an exceptional single-family residence, subject to applicable zoning and approvals.
