The roof was recently replaced and remains under warranty, and the rear siding was replaced at the same time. A two-zone central air conditioning system gives full control of the living room area separately from the upstairs, plus central heat with an updated thermostat.

The finished lower level adds exceptional flexibility with a full bathroom, walk-out access, and a separate entrance — ideal as a recreation room, home office, gym, guest quarters, or extended living space.
Outside, a shared driveway leads to a private detached garage, a highly sought-after amenity that adds convenience and value.

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
The house's 1,410 square feet are spread across two stories, with a finished lower level that has its own entrance. Hardwood and tile floors run through the home, and nine windows on the first floor let a good amount of daylight into the living and dining area.
The eat-in kitchen has a gas cooktop, a gas oven, a range hood, a refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, and a dishwasher, along with a kitchen island you can cook at or sit around. The washer and dryer are in the unit, so you don't have to leave the house for laundry. Central air is on two zones, which lets you control the living room separately from the upstairs.
Outside, there's a patio, a terrace, a courtyard, and a garden, and the property also has outdoor grills and a security system. Paerdegat Park is about 3 minutes away on foot, and it covers 3.56 acres. A shared driveway leads to a private detached garage.
The finished lower level has a full bathroom, walk-out access, and a separate entrance, so it can serve as a home office, guest room, recreation room, or gym. The roof was replaced recently and still has its warranty. The rear siding went in at the same time.
For errands, Checo Food Corp, a deli, is about 7 minutes away on foot. The Brooklyn Public Library is about 17 minutes away, and the Leonard and Claire Tow Center for the Performing Arts is about 23 minutes away.
