Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The lot is 50 by 106 feet, and a curb cut and driveway are already in place. The 1910 frame house on it can be bought and renovated to your own taste, or the listing points to a redevelopment of about 12,800 square feet. Those are two very different plans, and the lot is what makes both possible.
The backyard is large, and it's the first part of the property I'd walk when deciding between a renovation and a redevelopment. An architect can tell you what the 12,800 square foot figure depends on before you commit to either.
Prospect Park is about 5 minutes away on foot, and Winthrop Playground is about the same distance. The Parkside Avenue Q station is about 5 minutes away, and the Prospect Park station, served by the B, Q and S, is about 10 minutes. For daily errands, Associated supermarket is about 3 minutes away, and Bonafini and Risbo are each about 2 minutes away.
The house has four bedrooms and one bathroom in 1,878 square feet. That layout is one a renovation could reshape, which is part of the appeal for a buyer who wants to make it their own.
