Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by RE Max Edge Group.
A private backyard, reached from the first-floor apartment, sits behind this brick semi-detached four-family in Bedford-Stuyvesant. In the city, a private backyard is a meaningful outdoor amenity, and it's tied to one unit here, so the first-floor apartment gets the space to itself.
The building has one spacious apartment on each floor, with each unit offering approximately 1,400 square feet. It's a walk-up in good, move-in condition, so you'll know exactly what each floor holds before you visit.
A full unfinished basement gives you room to decide what it's for, whether that's storage or a project space. It's the kind of open space that's easy to plan around.
The Rockaway Avenue stop on the C is about 4 minutes on foot, and Chauncey Street on the J and Z is about 5. Pioneer supermarket is about 7 minutes away, and Marion Hopkinson Playground is about 2 minutes.
