Description
A Rare Opportunity in East Elmhurst – Original-Owner Brick Two-Family with Private Parking, Expansive Backyard & Versatile Walk-In Level Offered for the first time by the family that built it in 1992, this semi-attached brick two-family home at 21-50 71st Street presents an outstanding opportunity for homeowners and investors alike. Thoughtfully maintained by its original owners for more than three decades, the property combines a practical multi-generational layout, generous living space, private parking, and the flexibility that makes two-family ownership so attractive. Situated on an approximately 20' x 127' lot, the property offers approximately 2,430 square feet of recorded building area, with three levels, two residential units, and an additional walk-in-level flex space. The upper residence features three bedrooms, offering comfortable accommodations with the space and flexibility for today's living needs. The second residence offers two bedrooms, providing an excellent opportunity for rental income, extended family occupancy, or an owner-occupied arrangement. The walk-in level adds another dimension of versatility, offering flexible space well suited for a recreation room, home office, guest area, or other permitted accessory use. Inside, the home features hardwood flooring in the main residential living areas, comfortable living and dining spaces, functional kitchens, generous natural light, and thoughtfully arranged rooms that provide a solid foundation for personalizing the property. The home's mechanical features include: central air conditioning, two Weil-McLain boiler systems, and two A. O. Smith hot water heaters, providing dedicated heating and hot water equipment. A new roof adds another important improvement. Outdoor space is equally appealing. The private driveway and garage offer valuable off-street parking, while the exceptionally deep property provides a spacious rear concrete patio and backyard, complete with mature greenery and room for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying your own private retreat. The home's semi-attached brick construction, three-level configuration, private outdoor space, and functional two-family layout make it particularly appealing to buyers seeking the benefits of homeownership together with the potential of an income-producing property. Conveniently located in East Elmhurst near Ditmars Boulevard, neighborhood shopping, dining, public transportation, and major roadways, this property offers the comfort of an established Queens residential neighborhood with access to the rest of New York City. Built by one family. Owned by one family. Now ready for its next chapter. Whether you're seeking a primary residence with rental income potential, a multi-generational home, or a long-term real estate investment, 21-50 71st Street offers a compelling combination of space, utility, and opportunity. *Select photos have been professionally enhanced and/or virtually staged for presentation purposes.

Broker Commission Disclosure: Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.
How working with a buyer's agent works: I work for you, not the seller. Before I show you anything, New York brokerage rules ask us to put that in writing: an agreement and a disclosure that say I work for you and negotiate on your behalf. The agreement is non-exclusive: you can work with other agents, it runs for a short fixed term we agree on, and you can end it with a note. You may attend open houses independently without an agreement. Read how it works
