OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME! If owning a house in NYC at a price that will not bankrupt you has been a dream of yours, here's some great news: it is about to become reality! Not only is this a house well under a million (!!), but it also sits on a unique DOUBLE LOT that offers you unparalleled privacy and endless gardening possibilities, not to mention that private parking, or a development potential that does not come around every day. The entrance level features a spacious kitchen/dining/family room with white cabinetry, over 8 feet of custom built-in floor-to-ceiling wooden cabinets, ample counters, and pergo floors, leading to a beautiful (mosquito-proofed!) deck overlooking the garden, as well as the generous living room filled with windows; the only half a bath is on this floor. The second floor is all about bedrooms and closets, and features an all-white master bath. The charming attic has amazing light and storage, and could also easily be converted to an additional ginormous bedroom. Finished basement has the other full bathroom as well as laundry, and can be used as a recreation room or whatever your needs may be. This is a lovingly maintained 4-story house, built in the 1920's, with 3BRs and 2.5 baths, complete with a fully finished basement and attic. There is a driveway accommodating several cars (in line) as well as a separate, unheated garage which was built in the 1940's. The house is in fantastic shape structurally; some of the recent upgrades include a new roof on both the house and garage (2015), new boiler (2011), and a new fence along the frontage and a sprinkler system for the lawn done just this spring. The lawn itself is currently under restoration with a second seeding taking place this fall for beautiful, lush grass to sprout up in the spring. New cedar siding was done in the 90's and central air-conditioning was installed in 2005. The many lovely period details include picture moldings, beautiful cast iron radiators, and wood floors with walnut inlays in excellent condition. If you are tired of co-op boards telling you what to do, here is an opportunity to be the only master of the house. With low taxes, this deal just keeps getting sweeter by the minute. Come by-no, run!-to see this amazing house and get ready to make an offer because, well, you'll want to!
