Property Overview
Situated between First and Second Avenues, the 22’-wide, 5-story walk-up totals approx. 7,000 gross sq. ft. Currently used as a rectory, the building features a full-built ground floor with a large community space, small kitchen, and half bath.

Adaptive Use Potential
Delivered vacant and zoned R8B, the property supports a wide range of end uses:
• Owner-User - Ideal for a private residence, government agency, or nonprofit facility
• Condominium Conversion - Limited new condo supply and strong demand create a compelling boutique condominium play

An additional approx. 1,970 sq. ft. of air rights (standard FAR) allows for potential expansion.
