Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
Daily life here starts with parking. There's a private one-car garage, plus rear parking for about four to five more vehicles, which is a lot to have on one Brooklyn lot. Both residential units have split-system heating and cooling, and the house was extensively renovated within the past decade, so those systems and finishes are already in place.
With 7 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 3,426 square feet over three stories, the house has room for two separate units to work on their own terms. The basement is fully finished, which adds usable space beyond the main floors. The house was built in 1965.
Architectural plans have already been drafted for converting the house from two families to three, subject to zoning requirements and city approvals. If that matters to your plans, your attorney or broker can tell you exactly what the drawings cover.
The D train at Bay 50th Street is about 8 minutes on foot, which puts the subway within easy reach of the front door. Food Bazaar is about 3 minutes away, and Parkview Diner is about 3 minutes as well. Calvert Vaux Park is about 7 minutes away, and the Coney Island Boat Basin is about 6.
