About the Listing KWRNYC - 40251,16319

Prime corner one-story retail building offering two expansive ground-floor spaces that can remain separate or be combined into a single loft-like footprint. Built full on its 25' × 66' lot, the structure delivers rare scale, flexibility, and development potential at street level. As-of-right, approximately 3,300 square feet of unbuilt FAR may be added above, along with the ability to create a roof garden, greenhouse, or sunroom. Additional floor area may also be negotiable. Originally constructed in 1901, this classic one-story storefront—often referred to as a “taxpayer”—is presumed to retain its grandfathered commercial use within the current R6A zoning (verification required). Archival photos from the 1940s and 1980s document its long-standing commercial presence. Interior Layout Approx. 23' × 65' interior footprint Two large rooms divided by a non-structural brick wall Front room: approx. 23' × 30', corner exposure on Tompkins Ave & Kosciuszko St, dual entrances Back room: approx. 23' × 34', entrance on Kosciuszko St Ceilings: just over 12' high Cellar: stone-walled, approx. 21' × 28', column-free, located beneath the front room This property offers a rare combination of historic character, open volumes, development upside, and corner visibility—ideal for an owner-user, creative commercial operator, or investor seeking a value-add opportunity.
