About This Home
As of May 2024Rare opportunity to own two, side by side, waterfront homes in Broad Channel, primely situated overlooking the peaceful Jamaica Bay. In the family for generations and built in the early 1900s, 12 West 5th Road is a rare find. There are classic and charming details throughout, as well as a renovated kitchen and renovated full bathroom. There is a formal dining room and a separate living area, with a wall of windows overlooking the bay. The first floor also houses the laundry room, mechanicals and a storage area. The lovely second floor has two bedrooms with pitched ceilings and a full bathroom. The two houses are connected by a south-facing, 50 foot wide deck, spanning the width of the two houses. 14 West 5th Road is larger than most and was completely rebuilt and modernized in the 90s. The first floor has a spacious chef’s kitchen, a large living room with a fireplace and a bright dining area, also overlooking the bay with a wall of windows. Not a bad place to dine! The second floor has fantastic vaulted ceilings, allowing for a lofted space in the second bedroom and a massive and airy primary suite with an ensuite bathroom and a private terrace overlooking the bay. Please note that 12 West 5th Road has been used as a summer home and is not currently heated or insulated and 60 feet of bulkhead has been installed by the owner for added preservation. Located in Broad Channel these homes and lifestyle are a true escape to quieter and more serene living. West 5th Road is near transportation (the A train and buses), the newly opened PS 47 (grades Pre K-8th), the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, and a short trip to the Rockaways and JFK Airport.
