    What's special

    Three upstairs bedroomsRecently upgraded mechanicalsSweet well maintained backyard
    A Sunset Park 3 bedroom townhouse selling for the average price of a Brooklyn 2 bedroom condo! Welcome to 242 45th Street, a renovated legal 2 unit home currently configured as a single in desirable Sunset Park. This property offers an exceptional opportunity for comfortable living in a well-established residential neighborhood between historic Sunset Park, Industry City and nearby Bay Ridge. Boasting a variety of architectural styles, including Prewar and Renaissance revival, this residence stands out not only for its renovated space but also for the uniform charm of a Brooklyn row house block. The 1910 construction total building area spans 1,672 square feet, designed to maximize comfort and ease. This smartly renovated home is a harmonious blend of space, style, and functionality, featuring a total of 7 inviting rooms. The layout includes three upstairs bedrooms, a top floor central living area, 2 lovely and tastefully maintained bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen adjacent to the backyard and a double length living/dining room on the bottom floor. Both the 1st and 2nd floors have exceptionally high ceilings with numerous skylights on both floors. The house is delivered complete with a sweet, well maintained backyard and a semi- finished basement currently used as laundry room, game parlor and music studio. Most homes in this immediate area are brought to market needing significant work and renovation and with tenants. 242 is turnkey, owner-seller occupied and delivered empty. Consider it ready to live in with recent upgrades to floors and finishes, appliances and recently upgraded mechanicals. You could comfortably live here the day after closing. Alternatively, it would be a simple enough process to convert back to its original 2 unit configuration should you seek rental income from one of the floors. Finally, 242 features low property taxes, appealing to savvy buyers looking for long-term value. The property's competitive listing price delivers excellent value for such an impressive home. The house is well-placed to take full advantage of its surroundings. Residents enjoy nearby markets, restaurants, bars, cafes and parks, providing a perfect mix of urban convenience and community feel. The area is known for its accessibility, being near essential amenities and excellent public transport links, making commutes and errands a breeze. Commuters have a short trip to the R train, local bus lines, the express bus to Manhattan and the Sunset Park Ferry. You have close proximity to the BQE for all driving points North And South. A recent impressive gift to the area coming soon will be the newly developing Pier 6 waterside public park. It’s a great place to call home! Some photos of property have been virtually staged. Showings via weekly Open Houses and One on One Appointments. All offers to be made to Listing agent with PreApproval, proof of Funds, Attorney designation. Subject to E&O.
