Welcome to this charming, affordably priced Cape Cod home, situated in the delightful Hamlet of Auburndale, Queens County, NY. This property presents an excellent opportunity for first-time home buyers who are ready to take the step towards homeownership and say goodbye to their landlord. While it needs some tender loving care to truly make it your own, the home also holds great potential for savvy contractors and investors looking to maximize returns through thoughtful expansion. The home sits on a generous four-thousand-square-foot lot, R2A zoning, in a peaceful mid-block setting. According to public records, which need proper, independent verification by the buyers, the usable Floor area as built is 840 square feet, and the unused FAR is 1,160 square feet, meaning that, with permits, the house may be expanded to 2000 square feet, resulting in thousands of dollars in increased value. Imagine all the possibilities! This residence includes a private driveway, a tranquil backyard with a patio, perfect for relaxation and entertaining, and a detached garage for added convenience. The location is ideal, offering easy access to nearby parks, major highways, public transportation (including the Long Island Railroad), schools, and a variety of supermarkets and restaurants, perfect for busy lifestyles. Whether you're looking to personalize this lovely Cape Cod or take advantage of its expansion potential, now is the time to act. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity in a lovely, vibrant community! Contact us today to schedule a viewing and see for yourself what this home has to offer.
