Listing Notes
Welcome to 25-40A 36th Street in Astoria, a beautifully maintained legal 3 family brick home. Most homes of this style are only considered legal 2 family properties, this one was legalized as a true 3 family in 2005 with an updated Certificate of Occupancy, making it a rare opportunity. This property is being offered on the market for the first time by the original owners since it was built in 1960, and homes like this rarely come to market , especially in Astoria, where rising rents encourage to hold onto these properties for generations. The second and third floors mirror one another, each offering three bedrooms and a bright, open concept living, dining, and kitchen area. The kitchens are thoughtfully designed to create a continuous sun filled gathering space, complete with generous counter space, a large center island, and ceiling height cabinetry for maximum storage.. The middle unit enjoys a front balcony, perfect for relaxing outdoors or adding extra living space. Large windows allow natural light to fill the interiors, creating a warm and inviting layout that functions beautifully for everyday living. The first floor is a spacious walk in one bedroom apartment featuring a separate living room, full kitchen, and full bathroom, ideal for extended family or an additional rental. The full finished basement is renovated, bright, and airy, with direct access to the private backyard. It includes a separate laundry room with washer and dryer, a finished living area, and a front utility room that is completely separated from the finished space for added convenience and organization. Additional notable features include a private driveway and garage. The property sits in R6B zoning and offers an additional 1,593 square feet of buildable potential, presenting untapped upside with the ability to build an additional level (buyer to verify). This added flexibility enhances both long term value and future redevelopment potential. Located just a short walk to the N/W trains on 31st Street and moments from vibrant 30th Avenue's restaurants, cafes, and shops, this home is ideally positioned for convenience and strong rental demand. This home is perfect as an investment property, for an end user living in one unit and renting the others, or for multi-generational living. Opportunities like this are few and far between , don't miss your chance to own a truly special property in the heart of Astoria!
