About This Home
As of April 2020This charming and well-kept semi-detached single family home will captivate you from the moment you arrive. There is a small front yard that has been landscaped to enhance the beauty of the house, with a front porch to welcome guests.
As you enter the open concept first floor, you're welcomed into the large living room with 2 skylights that flood the house with sunlight, a dining area, and completely updated kitchen equipped with modern cabinetry, breakfast bar, and stainless steel appliances.
Up a flight of stairs there are 3 comfortable bedrooms as well as a large full bathroom. This floor also has a skylight bringing warm and natural light throughout the day.
Out back, and accessible through the kitchen, is your own private oasis. Here you'll find a large deck, great yard, and one car garage (door to the garage was recently replaced).
The basement is fully finished with laundry and space for a full bathroom (1/2 bath is already installed). The basement would make a great workspace or playroom.
Roof, hot water heater, and kitchen are all less than 10 years old and have been kept up meticulously by the current owner.
This house is situated on a tree lined street in the Flatlands, between Ralph Ave and Utica Ave. convenient to major transportation, Kings Plaza, the Belt Parkway, the Georgetown Fairway, restaurants, cafes and many other amenities that the neighborhood has to offer.
