Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A barrel front house with two stories and 2,964 square feet, 147 Schenectady Avenue was built in 1899 and has five bedrooms and three bathrooms. Pre-war houses like this tend to appeal to buyers who value defined rooms and architectural detail, and the decorative fireplace and hardwood floors fit that taste. How the rooms are arranged and kept up tells you more than the year alone, so they're worth seeing in person.
The listing counts seven rooms and describes a flexible floor plan. A home office, a recreational area or a gym would each fit, and the full basement gives you storage or room to plan something later.
There's private outdoor space of over 60 square feet, which gives the house a spot outside that's yours alone.
The Crown Hts-Utica Av station on the 3 and 4 is about 9 minutes on foot, and the Utica Av station on the A and C is about 10 minutes. St. John's Park is about 1 minute away, and Shop Fair Supermarket is about 5 minutes.
Weeksville Heritage Center is about 11 minutes on foot, a short walk that puts the house near the neighborhood's history.
The listing describes it as a townhouse, so the layout of each floor is worth seeing in person.
