Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New York Properties.
With 3,164 square feet and three bathrooms, 124 Thomas S. Boyland Street is built to hold more than one household, and that's both its appeal and its main trade-off. The house was converted into two residences within a semi-detached brick townhouse, so you get separate living space and rental or owner-occupied flexibility. The cost is that the plan is divided rather than one open floor for a single household. Stairs and upkeep come with a house of this size, so those are worth weighing from the start.
The interior has been modernized, with updated kitchens and bathrooms and upgraded mechanical systems. I'd look at that work first, because it's what you'll deal with every day. High ceilings and oversized windows give the rooms volume and a bright feel.
There's a private garden and private outdoor space of over 60 square feet, which is a real amenity in the city. The washer and dryer are in the unit, so laundry doesn't mean leaving home. The house has window air conditioning units rather than central air.
The C train at Rockaway Av is about 5 minutes on foot, and the J and Z at Chauncey St are about 7 minutes. Marion Hopkinson Playground is about 2 minutes away, and Pioneer supermarket is about 8 minutes.
Is there private outdoor space?
Yes. There's a private garden and private outdoor space of over 60 square feet.
Does the property have a washer and dryer in the unit?
Yes, there's a washer and dryer in the unit.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, pets are allowed. The building is also smoke-free.
