Welcome to 186 Buffalo Avenue, a two-family townhouse in Crown Heights, with a finished basement and backyard. Live in one unit and rent out the other and let the rental income help pay your mortgage. It’s a smart way to own in Brooklyn, and it also works as an investment. The first-floor unit has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, plus an eat-in kitchen that opens out onto a private backyard. Unit has interior stairs that go down to a full finished basement. Basement has its own separate outside entrance. You can use it as extra space for the first-floor unit, a home office or a gym. The second-floor unit has 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath plus an eat-in kitchen. Unit offers plenty of natural light. The home is in good condition, and there’s room to update. Short distance to the 2, 4 and 5 trains at Utica Avenue and the 3 and 4 at Schenectady and Eastern Parkway. Eastern Parkway, Lincoln Terrace Park and cafés and shops along Utica and Ralph are all nearby to enjoy.
