Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
A 53-foot wide frontage is the first thing you notice about 740 Leonard Street, a detached two-story house from 1935 that holds two apartments. Each apartment has one bathroom, and the property is delivered fully vacant at closing, so you can set it up as a live-plus-income property, a rental, or a home for several generations.
Each apartment has an eat-in kitchen, hardwood floors, a breakfast bar and oversized windows in every room. Built-in closets run throughout, and they tend to free up floor space that freestanding wardrobes would otherwise take. I'd look closely at the eat-in kitchens, since they're the room most likely to shape how you use the apartment day to day.
Outdoors, a patio runs the full width of the property, which is a generous amount of space for a house in this part of Brooklyn.
The most unusual feature is the attached two-bay garage. It has 11-foot ceilings and nearly 1,000 square feet, enough for up to four vehicles, or you can use the open space for storage or development. The Greenpoint Avenue G train is about 3 minutes away on foot, and Nassau Avenue on the same line is about 10. WNYC Transmitter Park and Bushwick Inlet Park are each about 10 minutes away, and Bushwick Inlet Park covers 35.5 acres. For errands, Market on Kent and Key Food are both about 3 minutes away, and Radio Bakery is about 5.
