Introducing an increasingly rare opportunity on one of Greenpoint's most peaceful, tree-lined residential blocks: 30 Newel Street, a 4-bedroom townhouse set on an oversized 25' 100' lot with private parking. With approx 1,286 SF of existing above-grade interior space this home presents tremendous upside for developers, investors, or end-users seeking a property with development potential in a highly coveted location.

The deep rear lot is one of the property's most valuable assets - currently configured for two-car parking with ample room remaining for future expansion. A partially finished basement level provides additional storage and flexible utility space, adding further versatility for redevelopment or renovation.
