About This Home

As of August 2025

20 Brighton offers a fully renovated 3-bedroom showcase and a true standout in NYC's favorite suburb just a close mile to the Midtown Direct train.

Step outside to your private backyard retreat with a professionally designed patio ideal for grilling, entertaining, gardening, or relaxing under the stars. The location seals it: around the corner from 69-acre, Olmsted-designed Watsessing Park and just up the block from top-rated coffee at 23 Skiddoo. This is the best value on the market! No upgrades needed, no compromises made. Luxury, convenience, and style - just move right in.
