Built in 1955, this solid brick 2-family home with private parking is the opportunity you've been waiting for... the owner enjoys a newly renovated 6 room (3 bdrm) duplex with ceramic/hardwood floors throughout, rear patio and yard over a 3 room (1 bdrm) rental unit. Tastefully renovated in 2017, the first floor is an open concept set-up with a spacious living area, recessed lighting with dimmers, Ring security doorbell with two floodlights, Nest thermostat, and a modern custom designed kitchen with granite countertops, soft close cabinets and drawers, center Island and dining area with built-in seating, and GE Profile stainless steel appliances, including range, dishwasher, double-door refrigerator, built-in microwave and garbage disposal. With an abundance of counter space and cabinetry, this kitchen is a chef’s dream. And with access to the rear covered patio and large backyard right off the kitchen, summertime barbecues couldn’t be more convenient. The second floor consists of three bedrooms, with a king size master, tons of closet space, and a large fully tiled custom designed bathroom with a full glass door shower. There are five ceiling fans throughout, and two built-in wall air conditioners, as well as two additional window units. The washer / dryer is conveniently located right down the stairs in the basement along with the natural gas-fired heating system which consists of a five year old boiler and separate hot water heater. The rental unit is a 3 room, one bedroom walk-in (couple of steps down) apartment with ceramic tile floors throughout, and a semi-modern kitchen and bathroom. Parking is facilitated through a dual access community driveway that stretches from 15th Ave to 16th Ave, which affords the added convenience of two entry/exits to access a private yard large enough to comfortably park four cars. The building is 19’ X 32’ with 1,824 square feet of living area on a 19’ X 100’ (1,900 Sq Ft) lot, and is situated just steps from shopping, restaurants, schools, parks, Belt Pkwy and public transportation (D-Train – 79th Street station, express and local buses). Don’t let this opportunity pass you by.
