    Welcome to 538 Pacific Street, a 100% vacant, meticulously maintained 1920s Brooklyn brownstone that masterfully marries old-world elegance with modern sophistication. This stunning 20’ wide, five-level, 3,600-square-foot townhouse stands as a testament to Brooklyn's architectural heritage while offering flexible living arrangements for today's lifestyle needs. Through the private entrance you’ll discover a treasure trove of preserved historic details: magnificent original woodwork, a sweeping hand-carved banister that draws the eye upward, soaring 9-foot windows that flood the space with natural light, delicate iron accents, and an original brick fireplace mantel that serves as a romantic focal point. The crown jewel of outdoor urban living awaits in the 1,060-square-foot south-facing garden. Mature pine trees create a serene canopy, offering a private oasis perfect for both quiet morning coffees and festive evening gatherings. The owner's duplex spans the ground and parlor levels, featuring dramatic 11-foot ceilings, a chef's kitchen with professional-grade gas range, and a tranquil master suite complete with a spa-like ensuite bathroom. The upper floors house two identical, thoughtfully designed one-bedroom apartments, each a perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Period details like exposed brick walls and restored hardwood floors complement contemporary amenities including sleek kitchens with stainless steel appliances and stone countertops. In-unit laundry, recessed lighting, and decorative fireplaces make these units highly desirable in today's rental market. Currently configured as three units, this home offers incredible versatility with its 4 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 3 half baths. For those dreaming of a grand single-family residence, the layout easily adapts to create a magnificent home while preserving architectural integrity. Investors will appreciate the immediate rental income potential from the two upper units. Future expansion possibilities include an additional 800 square feet of living space under current city guidelines or conversion into elegant double-duplex condominiums. Nestled in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods, this home offers the perfect blend of residential tranquility and urban convenience. Enjoy seamless access to Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Carroll Gardens, Fort Greene and all that Brooklyn has to offer. 538 Pacific Street represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of Brooklyn's architectural history while investing in its future. Whether your vision includes creating a magnificent single-family sanctuary or maintaining a profitable multi-unit investment, this distinguished property offers the space, character, and potential to make it possible.
