This late 19th century brick and brownstone townhouse in Stuyvesant Heights presents the next owner with a turnkey opportunity for income — and a nice place to live.

Located at 615 Halsey Street, the well-maintained home is in move-in condition with recently updated systems. A legal four-family currently being used as a three, it works equally well as an investment or owner-occupied home.

It’s currently configured as two one-bedroom apartments over an owner’s duplex. It can also be used as four floor-through apartments without any changes.

Among the many benefits the house offers is the fact that all the apartments were renovated with new hardwood floors and outfitted with new windows in 2008; the boiler and water heater are less than five years old.

The owner’s residence is an island of calm; step into the garden floor and you’re in an open kitchen and dining area with modern recessed lighting and exposed brick. The master bedroom is at the back of this floor and opens onto a landscaped garden. Custom built-ins offer extra storage space.

The second floor offers two more bedrooms or sitting rooms, along with a balcony with stairs leading to the garden. A cellar on the lower level with sealed walls and floor can be used as a family recreation area.

On the third and fourth floors are two one-bedroom apartments, both with newly renovated kitchens. They include new cabinets, quartz countertops, porcelain-tile floors and stainless steel appliances.

The house is close to many highly regarded shops, restaurants and bars, including Georges-Andre Vintage Cafe, Grandchamps, L’Antagoniste, Casablanca, Manny’s, Chez Oskar, Jordan Heads, Zabka and Taj Masala.
