Listing Notes
Enter into a bright and airy living room that flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen. The open feel of the main floor is perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings at home. The 2nd floor features three generous bedrooms with ample natural light, closet space and a full bathroom. Need more space? The finished attic serves as an excellent area for extra storage, a seasonal wardrobe, or a quiet hobby nook. The full basement offers tremendous added value. In addition to housing the boiler which is two years old and mechanicals, it serves as an expansive recreation room-ideal for a home theater, gym, or play area and two storage rooms, for added convenience, this level features a brand-new washer and dryer. The highlight of this property is the sprawling backyard, featuring a massive 12x24 pool. Whether you are hosting summer BBQs or lounging by the water, this private oasis is a rare find in Brooklyn and offers the perfect escape from the city hustle. The house comes with a vacant lot next store (block 8280- Lot 14) which is 20 feet by 100.
