Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Aba Abraham.
Every room except the living room has new flooring, and all the AC units are new. The rooftop is new as well, and the electrical system and wiring have been upgraded, so the major systems are the recent part of this house.
The lot is extra large, so there's room for outdoor use, gardening, or whatever you have in mind later. The fully finished basement has its own entrance, and that entrance leads to the backyard, so the lower level has a second way out to the yard. I like that setup because it lets the basement work more independently from the rest of the house.
This is a 1,540-square-foot house over two stories, with three bedrooms and one bathroom. Sutphin Boulevard's F train is about 7 minutes away on foot, and Briarwood's E and F station is about 11. Briarwood Playground is about 2 minutes from the door, and Aftab Supermarket is about 6 minutes away. Jamaica-Van Wyck on the E is about 13 minutes on foot.
