Description

A Multi-Faceted Gem on E 42nd Street. ** It is configured as a two unit house, yet we are making no representation to the Certificate of Occupancy, as one is not on file, which is not uncommon to housing built in this period. It is being defined as a one because the owner occupies both units.** Step into a beautifully maintained residence in the vibrant East Flatbush. This 3 bedroom, 2-bath home spans 2 levels and includes a driveway, that provides a blend of comfort and convenience. With over twenty years of meticulous care and numerous thoughtful upgrades, this property stands as a testament to both timeless charm and modern functionality, whether you are looking for your forever home or as a savvy investment so you have options with 486 East 42nd Street. The upper unit is a beacon of natural light with skylights illuminating the elegant walnut-inlaid hardwood floors that transition from a lively living area to an intimate dining space. The kitchen is a culinary delight, updated with granite countertops and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. The primary bedroom provides a serene escape and the 2nd bedroom features access to a deck that overlooks the tranquil backyard, providing a peaceful escape from the city hustle. The garden unit, refreshed within the last decade, offers a cozy and functional space with a separate dining area and galley kitchen. It includes a bedroom, full bath, and direct backyard access for your guests or if occupied as the second unit. This unit also boasts new hardwood floors and a separate laundry room, adding to its appeal as either part of a greater whole or as a separate living space. Situated between Clarendon and Avenue D, the location strikes a balance between urban and suburban living, with easy access to major transportation, great shopping at Kings Plaza and Triangle Mall, and cultural experiences at Brooklyn Colleges and within a stones throw of Paerdegat Park. This East Flatbush gem is where each space, inside and outside, is crafted to enrich your life and enhance your comfort. Find Your Sweet Spot., Additional information: Interior Features:Lr/Dr
