About this House

What's unique:Sprawling backyardNatural lightBrand-new washer and dryerPrivate oasisThree generous bedroomsTwo additional storage rooms
Rare Brooklyn Opportunity A beautiful one-family, fully detached home on an extra-wide street — with a separate buildable lot next door available for purchase together with the home or separately! The adjacent vacant lot (Block 8280, Lot 14) measures 20' x 100' and offers exciting potential for expansion. When purchased together, combine it with the existing lot for a full 40' x 100' — the possibilities are endless: a garden, additional parking, space for social gatherings, or ground-up development.

Welcome home! Step into a bright, airy living room that flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen — the open layout is perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings in. The second floor offers three generous bedrooms, each filled with natural light and ample closet space, plus a full bathroom. Need more space? The finished attic is ready to serve as extra storage, a seasonal wardrobe closet, or a quiet hobby nook.

The full basement adds tremendous value. Beyond housing the mechanicals and a two-year-old boiler, it offers an expansive recreation room ideal for a home theater, gym, or play area, along with two additional storage rooms. This level also features a brand-new washer and dryer.

The true highlight of this property is the sprawling backyard — fully enclosed with vinyl fencing and centered around a massive 12' x 24' pool. CCTV security cameras are already installed for peace of mind. Whether you're hosting summer BBQs on the large covered patio or lounging poolside, this private oasis is a rare find in Brooklyn, offering the perfect escape from the city hustle.

Location highlights: A short drive to JFK Airport and Resorts World Casino. Near Jamaica Bay Greenway and Shirley Chisholm State Park.
