Description

Welcome to this spacious two-family home a block away from the park on the border between Bensonhurst and Bath Beach. The house comprises 2,366 sq ft and has an extension on the main floor, which allows for many different flexible layouts. Walk up the stairs via the sizeable front porch into the main floor with a dining room, eat-in kitchen, den, office, and bathroom. The first floor has a kitchen, bedrooms, mechanicals, and access to ample outdoor space. The top floor has two bedrooms and a kitchen that can easily convert into a bedroom. The house needs work and can be easily converted into an income-producing rental with 2-3 bedrooms on each floor or can be used as an owner's duplex over a 1-2 bedroom rental with a private entrance from the front of the house. The location is exceptional. The D train and the B1 bus are minutes away, and all the shopping on 86th street is at your doorstep. House is delivered vacant.
