Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Serene Powers Real Estate LLC.
The main unit has three bedrooms, a living room, a dining room and a kitchen, and the lower level is set up as its own apartment with one bedroom, a living room, a kitchen and a full bath. That split gives you two separate living areas under one roof, so you can keep both or use the lower level for guests.
The attic level adds bonus space that the listing suggests for storage or a home office. It's an easy spot to keep things out of the way of daily living.
A spacious backyard sits behind the property, and there's a two car garage plus parking for two cars in front. Washer and dryer are in the unit, which means laundry happens at home, and the building also has laundry on site.
Getting around is practical. The 174 Street station on the 2 and 5 is about 7 minutes on foot, Freeman Street on the same lines is about 11, and Elder Avenue on the 6 is about 13. Starlight Park is about 3 minutes away, and Western Beef and C-Town are within about 7 minutes.
