    Own this home for less than renting!!!! Massive two-family house with a two-car garage one block away from historic Lincoln Terrace Park. Welcome to 281 Buffalo Ave! The uniqueness of this home is the size of the house- 22.5 ft x 69 ft on a 30.35 ft x 105 ft lot. This semi-detached, two-family house offers two sprawling apartments- a four bedroom/3 bath unit and a three bedroom/3 bath unit totaling nearly 3,000 square feet plus a finished English basement. Coming home you'll enter through your lovely front porch next to your 2-car shared driveway. The spacious, light- filled first floor showcases a massive open living room with south facing windows and solid original hardwood flooring throughout. Perfectly suited for entertaining and everyday life. The kitchens are tastefully outfitted with lots of storage, stone countertops and stainless-steel appliances. Each apartment has in a washer/dryer in unit and multiple hallway closets for additional storage. All the way back down, you have the windowed English basement with 8-foot ceilings that measures over 1,500 square feet of living, a full bath, summer kitchen, separate washer/dryer, storage area and is accessed internally or from its own private entrance. This property works incredibly well as either a large single residence, as rental income -- or both- with rental income of at least $3,300 per unit! Located in an opportunity zone at Buffalo Avenue and Lincoln Road in the historic Weeksville section of Crown Heights/Bed-Stuy, this building has much to love, and the smart Buyer will understand its value for both near- and long-term investment. This home is a must see! Two pictures are virtually staged.
