698 LEXINGTON Avenue

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brown Harris Stevens Residential Sales LLC.

An upper three-bedroom duplex, a lower one-bedroom duplex and a rear house with two large bedrooms make up the three residences on this lot. That split decides how the place can be used. You could live in one part and rent the others, or rent all three, since the listing describes both options.

The upper duplex has the most bedrooms and abundant natural light, along with a kitchen the listing calls a chef's kitchen. Its private deck gives you outdoor space you can reach from the home itself. The property also has a washer and dryer in the unit, and in-unit laundry is an everyday convenience that's easy to underrate until you've lived without it.

The lower duplex has exposed brick and a versatile lower-level recreation space. The rear house has two large bedrooms, a private terrace, and an additional basement area that can serve for storage or other use.

The Kosciuszko Street station on the J is about 8 minutes on foot, and Gates Avenue has the J and Z about 13 minutes away. Jesse Owens Playground is about 2 minutes from the door, and Sajoma Gourmet Corporation is about 4 minutes away.

Built in 1899, this is an older house, so I'd look closely at how the rooms work for your own routine rather than judging by age alone.
