Description

Opportunity awaits. Endless potential! This over sized one family ranch is fully detached and situated on an extra large lot- 37x100. Located near the Maspeth/Woodside border, this brick home offers a huge backyard with mature plantings that would make a beautiful garden oasis in Queens. This home needs some tender love and care however the current owner has made significant investment in the major systems and the house is ready to be re-imagined. Rear garage is detached from the house and additional parking can be created. The first floor includes original detail and fully restored plaster walls, original molding throughout, working fireplace in the living room for those chilly nights, formal dining room, two spacious bedrooms. The basement level offers full height ceilings and, though it needs to be fully updated, the space is tons of potential. With windows all around and an outside entrance, let your imagination create a space to accommodate your needs. The owners recently installed a new hot water heater, new gas boiler, new windows and brand new roof. Additional development potential and possibly to add up to 2400 sq ft (buyer must consult architect to confirm what, if anything, can be added).
