Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Howard Hanna NYC.
Two units share two stories at 159 Wyona Street, and the layout is flexible enough that the ten rooms can serve as bedrooms, offices or recreational space. That gives you room to decide how the house is used. The 1901 brick two-family has 2,623 square feet, three bathrooms and an eat-in kitchen with natural wood-tone cabinetry.
The second floor will be delivered vacant. The property is delivered with tenants who have fully paid rent and can show a year of proof of payment, so you'll know early how the occupied part is set up.
Houses from this period often appeal to buyers who value defined rooms and original architectural character. This one's solid structure and original details are the reason to look closely. The listing also notes that some updates to plumbing or roofing may be needed, so condition matters more here than age alone.
The private outdoor area is under 60 square feet, a place for a few chairs and some plants. Pets are allowed. The Liberty Av station on the C is about 4 minutes on foot, and the Van Siclen Av station has the J, Z and C about 6 minutes away. JLR Deli is about 1 minute from the door, and La Placita greengrocer is about 6 minutes.
