Description

Welcome to 1718 Decatur Street, a versatile 2-family home set on an oversized lot with endless potential. The first-floor unit spans a generous layout with 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, offering ample space for comfortable living. Upstairs, the second unit features 2 bedrooms and a well-proportioned design, making it ideal for rental income. Both apartments offer access to a spacious backyard, ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing outdoors. The property also features a full basement, which can be converted into a duplex with the first-floor apartment to create additional living space or reimagined as a home office, recreation area, or storage space. Whether you’re looking to live in one unit and rent out the other, or fully renovate to suit your vision, this property provides the square footage and flexibility rarely found in the area. **For Investors & Developers** The current owners have received approval from City Planning to build a new, 3-story multi-family property. Approval documentation and proposed building plans are available upon request. Buyers are strongly encouraged to confirm all details with their own architect(s) and zoning attorney(s).

Ridgewood features orderly blocks of brick and limestone rowhouses, prewar tenements with decorative cornices, and multi-family buildings constructed between 1905 and 1925, making it one of Queens' most architecturally consistent neighborhoods. The M train runs through the heart of the area with stops at Seneca Avenue, Forest Avenue, and Fresh Pond Road, while the L train connects at Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues. Highland Park and Ridgewood Reservoir border the neighborhood to the south, and the Vander Ende-Onderdonk House, an 18th-century landmark, marks the historic Queens-Brooklyn boundary.
