361 Van Brunt St

Limitless Possibilities in Red Hook

361 Van Brunt Street offers a solid investment opportunity in one of Brooklyn’s fastest-growing waterfront neighborhoods, Red Hook! This 24-foot-wide, 65-foot-deep mixed-use corner property spans approximately 3,800 square feet and includes three residential units plus a high-visibility commercial space. With south, east, and west exposures, the building is filled with natural light. While some updates may be needed, this is a strong opportunity for an investor or end-user looking to establish a presence in a vibrant, evolving community.
The ground-floor commercial space occupies one of Red Hook’s most visible corners, Van Brunt and Dikeman Streets. Ideal for a gallery, retail shop, creative studio, or restaurant, it can also be leased for steady income. Investors have the option to convert the space back to residential use for added flexibility or additional rental potential. A full basement, accessible from the main hallway, can be included with the commercial lease or kept separate for storage or other use.
Above, the building features two spacious two-bedroom apartments with three exposures. The second-floor unit includes a private, sunlit terrace.
The third apartment stretches across three levels similar to a maisonette, with its own address and separate private entrance at 104 Dikeman St. The maisonette features two bedrooms, two and a half baths, energy efficient mini-split air conditioning, and a laundry room.
Built in the 1860s, 361 Van Brunt St has been central to life in Red Hook for over 160 years. From the 1870s to the early 1900s, 361 Van Brunt was a saloon run by Daniel Dougherty and then by Edward Jones, who renamed it The Jones Hotel.
Located steps from local favorites like Red Hook Tavern, Hometown Bar-B-Que, Red Hook Winery, and Red Hook Lobster Pound, this property sits in the heart of one of Brooklyn’s most dynamic and evolving neighborhoods. Galleries, boutiques, and music venues are just minutes away, with waterfront parks and piers also close by.
