Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The brick house at 119 86th Street was built in 1920, and its first floor is laid out as distinct rooms. There is a sunroom, a living room, a formal dining room, and an oversized eat-in kitchen, with a powder room nearby. I like that arrangement. Defined rooms give you separate places to sit, cook and host, and pre-war houses often handle this well. How a house is laid out and kept up tells you more than its age does.
Sliding doors from the kitchen open onto an elevated terrace that overlooks the backyard, so cooking and eating outside are easy to connect.
Upstairs, three bedrooms share the second floor. The primary bedroom is extra large and has a sitting area or flex space that could serve as a home office or a dressing area. The renovated full bathroom has both a separate shower and a soaking tub.
The finished basement includes a full bathroom and a laundry area, and it's a legal apartment. A shared driveway leads to a detached two-car garage.
The 86 St station on the R is about 11 minutes on foot from the house. Shore Park and Parkway, 58 acres, is about 7 minutes away, and Russell Pedersen Playground is about 2 minutes. For groceries, Taza Produce is about 7 minutes away and Brooklyn Harvest Market is about 9 minutes.
