Description

**OFFER ACCEPTED - NO LONGER SHOWING AT THIS TIME**

Get set to be charmed by this delightful 3-bedroom semi-detached house nestled in the sought-after Farragut neighborhood of Brooklyn. Located at 500 East 40th Street, this early 1900s gem, brimming with character, charms you right from the first glance. Step into a spacious layout that perfectly combines modern comfort and vintage appeal. Upon entry, the sunroom invites you to discover a space that swiftly transitions from daytime bustle to evening relaxation - an oasis of light and tranquility. Here's where a good book and a cup of tea turn into an afternoon well-spent. Talk about a year-round vacation without leaving the comfort of your home! The well-lit living room exudes warmth and comfort that begs for quiet reading sessions or lively gatherings, flowing into the spacious formal dining room. The kitchen, designed for both comfort and function, comes packed with plenty of cabinet space. What's more? It's the perfect backdrop for your culinary experiments. Head into the private backyard with covered patio, lush landscaping, and a calming koi pond.

Venture further upstairs to find three generously sized bedrooms, each donning large windows that promise floods of natural light. The full bathroom has been tastefully updated to ensure a calming retreat at the end, or beginning, of your day. Environmentally conscious? You'll appreciate the home's recently installed solar panels perched on the roof. Make the most out of green living in the heart of the city! The finished basement is a blank slate, currently set-up as a recording studio, but can easily be an additional space for your next hobby. And, the convenience of a washer/dryer in the basement ensures your laundry days are as fuss-free as they can be. This home seamlessly captures the spirit of community living while also offering all the opportunities of the city.

Its location puts you at the heart of tranquility in Farragut. Several higher education institutions are also within easy reach, such as SUNY Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn College, and Medgar Evers College. This house is ideally located for nature enthusiasts, with parks and recreational grounds only a short distance from your front door. For the daily commuter, public transportation is easily accessible at the Beverly Road or Newkirk Avenue 2/5, making everyday travel effortless. Don't miss out on making this delightful home your own.
