Description
Welcome home to 251 71st Street: the majestic, 20 foot wide, two family, barrel front limestone with three full floors you have been waiting for! This gracious home has preserved many of it's original details, including gorgeous woodwork and plaster molding throughout and several decorative mantels (that could potentially be made into working fireplaces). Soaring ceiling heights, and oversized bay windows create a light and airy feel throughout. Pristine hardwood floors are found in every room but the kitchen, and a full, dry, basement ensures you have plenty of room for storage (or finish out to fulfill your ultimate rec room fantasy!) In addition, the home has been updated with a renovated full bathroom on each floor, and a full laundry room. The large, 880 sqft backyard is fully decked for easy upkeep, and provides plenty of space for your next gathering with friends and family!
The home is currently configured as a single family home with a garden level kitchen walking out to the spacious backyard beyond, but could also be used as a two family home with a lower duplex and a top floor two bedroom rental or create a grand upper duplex with a parlor level kitchen and deck to the the backyard beyond with 4 bedrooms and 1 bath or 3 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs, and a one bedroom rental below. Gas and water hookups exist in the back left room on both the parlor level and 3rd floor to make either of these conversions super easy.
251 71st Street is located on a picture perfect tree lined block, with PS 102 conveniently right down the street. The location is quiet and residential, but at the same time provides easy access to numerous neighborhood favorites on 3rd Avenue, as well a SuperFresh Grocery Store just two blocks away. The Narrows Botanical Gardens and offer peaceful harbor views just three blocks away, and Owls Head Park offers plenty of space for play and rest a mere 4 blocks away. Subway access is also easy, with the Bay Ridge Avenue R just three blocks away, which if you transfer to the N at 59th Street, makes Manhattan just 5 stops away.
