Description
BUYERS — THIS IS THE ONE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
WELCOME TO THIS OVERSIZED 1 FAMILY IN WHITESTONE — BEAUTIFULLY RENOVATED AND READY FOR YOU TO MOVE RIGHT IN!
Enjoy the luxury every New Yorker dreams about… a PRIVATE DRIVEWAY, which means NO SHARED DRIVEWAY DRAMA! Access to the driveway is located in the rear of the home via a shared community roadway, making parking easy and convenient while still giving you the benefit of your own private parking space.
Built with SOLID CONCRETE BLOCK AND BRICK, this home offers the kind of construction you simply don’t see anymore. Homes like this haven’t been commonly built since the 1970s because the cost of building with concrete block today would be extremely expensive. That means you’re getting the benefit of old-school durability paired with a brand new renovation.
ALL NEW RENOVATION! Thoughtfully updated so you can move right in and start living — while still leaving room to add your own personal touches, build equity, and create a lifetime of memories.
This is the kind of home where first holidays are celebrated, backyard summers begin, and equity quietly grows year after year.
This isn’t just a house…
IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN, GROW, AND CALL WHITESTONE HOME.
Your Home:
-The Living Room is FLOODED with natural light thanks to the Many Windows.
-A Formal Dining Room (big enough to be another living room-no joke) and a RENOVATED Galley Kitchen!
-Upstairs, Three bedrooms, Two of them KING-SIZED (with extra room to spare!) and a Comfy Queen-sized Third.
-And 1 FULL Bathroom with Bathtub.
**The Unfinished Basement has Tall Ceilings and endless possibilities-family room, gym, playroom, yoga retreat, secret lab...it's up to you!
Other Important Details:
-BRICK
-Lot: 17.50ft X 100ft
-Building: 17ft X 32ft
-Zoning: R2
-Built in 1945
-Annual Taxes: $7,580.07

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEducation is okay, when issues arise, they are not effectively addressed and clear bias is shown. Had multiple issues here, students learn but not effectively and most teachers slack off. Homework is okay, not too much, not too little, but as an advanced student, school is very easy and education is not good. I have barely learned anything, and it didn’t prepare me for high school whatsoever. If you’re mainly sports focused, this school is for you, especially for basketball or soccer.Student Review3mo ago - World Journalism Preparatory: A College Board School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTeachers and administration need a serious review by DOE. They don’t care about children well being, education and their emotions. Very confusing messages promoted by the teacher, specially for kids who get accepted in better high schools. The teachers say things like “why to care about the grade, you are not going to go anywhere”. Vague messages about certain work not needed, then they penalize the kid for not doing it. Mixing students grades and claim this can’t be corrected in the DOE portal. Some teachers don’t believe in exams, and give their students high grades, while other teachers in other classes and same subject give extra work and tough tests and fail their kids. A teacher teaching her nephew and the kid gets an award in the subject end of year. Completely strange school and (no)system.The kids don’t respect the principal, making fun of her name and accent and make her cry. What an educational environment.Parent Review10mo ago
