Listing Notes
Location! Location! Location! Well-maintained 2-family home situated on a quiet, tree-lined block in prime Bensonhurst. Built in 1925 and set on a 20*100 lot with an 18*45.5 building footprint, this property offers six generously sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The first floor features three bedrooms with tiled flooring throughout, while the fully finished basement-also tiled-provides flexible space ideal for a private retreat, entertainment lounge, or recreation area. The second-floor apartment offers three bedrooms with carpeted floors and wood-look flooring in the main living areas. A detached garage with shared driveway adds everyday convenience. The property will be delivered vacant, making it an excellent opportunity for both investors and end-users-live in one unit and rent the other. Ideally located in the heart of Bensonhurst, the home is surrounded by a vibrant community, diverse dining, and everyday conveniences. Close to D & N train lines for an easy commute, as well as schools, parks, shopping, and local grocery stores. A great opportunity to own in one of Brooklyn's most established and accessible neighborhoods.

Property Read
The property is priced above the nearby median per square foot, so condition, building quality, and exact location need to justify the higher ask.
Price history is still limited; review again as more market activity becomes available.
