Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by R New York.
The living, dining and kitchen at 475 King Avenue are one open space, so the 1,427 square feet feel more connected than the room count suggests, and you can cook while staying part of the conversation. The cost is separation. Cooking, working and relaxing all share the same floor, so noise and clutter travel. For a three bedroom house that's a fair trade, and the first floor office nook gives the work-from-home side its own corner.
The water views are the strongest thing here. The listing places them from the expansive deck, the front porch and sunroom, the living room and the primary bedroom upstairs, and the light is described as bright through the day. The deck is the place to use them, and the property also has a yard, a detached garage and a driveway for four or more cars.
The house was built in 1930 and has three stories, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There's a half bath on the first floor and a full bathroom upstairs beside two more bedrooms. The unfinished basement has a washer and dryer and plenty of storage, and the listing notes many possible future uses. It's sold as is, so it's worth seeing the house with that in mind.
City Island Wetlands is about 6 minutes on foot and Pelham Bay Park is about 10, so both parks are close. C-Town is about 5 minutes away, and Seafood City, Arties, Porlofino and The Original Crab Shanty are each about 4 to 6 minutes on foot.
