Listing Notes
Once Upon A Block There once was a storybook home built by the developer to show-off every decorative trim and floor design flourish available. The crown jewel of this six bedroom, 2.5 bath confection is the sunny eat-in mid-century style kitchen with modern appliances, hand painted wallpaper, classic painted metal cabinets and boomerang Formica countertops. There's plenty more to love including a spacious front porch, an extra long private driveway, a fenced in front yard, and an east-facing backyard with vegetable gardens, flower beds, and a fig tree that produced over 60 pounds of fruit last year. The house is steps from Cortelyou Road's shopping, restaurants and public transportation, including the express bus to midtown that stops on the corner of East 19th Street. Available June 30, 2026. 1 cat upon landlord's approval. Shown by appointment only Move in Costs: First month's rent (at lease signing) Security deposit equal to one months rent (at lease signing) $20/person application fee..
