First time on the market! A great opportunity to own a 2-family brick house with orange-tile roof from the 1920’s set on a 30’ x 100’ lot, a detached garage and a backyard with apple and cherry trees. The first unit opens into a bright sunroom with windows on three sides. Beyond a French door is a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace. A bathroom/shower sits between the living room and kitchen, while the kitchen connects to a dining area and two additional small rooms. A rear door leads directly to the backyard, garage, and driveway. The second unit, accessed through the side door off the driveway, leads to a large space consisting of a living room, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a full kitchen and eating area. As a two-family house, one unit can be an income-producing property or good for a multi-generational family. Centrally located, and adjacent to the Jackson Heights Historic District with Travers Park and Paseo Park along 34th Avenue, the house is close to everything - restaurants, shops, schools, transportation (subway/bus/vehicular) and houses of worship. Ride the subway lines of E, F, M, R, and 7 trains and you’re in Midtown Manhattan in half an hour. In the same family for almost six decades, the house does need significant amount of updating. But here is the opportunity to make it your own, restoring its 1920s “bones” to contemporary taste and needs. However, major upgrades with plumbing and electrical have been completed as well as a new “water heater”. The outside sewer pipe has been replaced.
