About this House

East Flatbush Opportunity! Welcome to this solid 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath semi-detached single-family in East Flatbush. This is the type of space buyers are always asking for—sizable bedrooms, a recently updated bathroom, and a full finished basement with laundry and plenty of storage. Whether you need extra space, a setup for a home office, or just room to spread out, this one checks the boxes. You’ve also got a shared driveway with your own private garage, which in Brooklyn is always a win. Outside, there’s a rose bush that’s been cared for over the years—small detail, but it adds real character to the home. If East Flatbush is on your radar, this is one you’ll want to stay close to.

    "Lovely community that keeps on grounded. The garbage streets is improved as it seems more landlords are cleaning the street but there are spots that remain gross especially adjacent to empty lots or building construction areas. Most people are friendly to newcomers. Prospect park is a huge asset. I am impressed and pleased that NYC is taking care of and improving the park especially south of Lincoln ave. "
