Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Lokel Realty Corp.
A private driveway and attached garage come with this 1940 Gross-Morton Tudor on a 45 by 102 foot lot in Oakland Gardens. I'd put that near the top of the list, because you can pull straight in without leaving a spot on the street.
The entry foyer leads into a living room centered on a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room has original hardwood floors and runs into a newly renovated kitchen with a full-size dishwasher and a window, so meals and cooking stay connected.
Upstairs, the three bedrooms and two full bathrooms share the floor, and the second bath has heated floors. The primary bedroom is carpeted over original hardwood, so the floors underneath are there if you'd rather have them exposed.
The rear wooden deck overlooks the backyard, and a second-floor terrace opens off the upper level. Together the two terraces total roughly 198 square feet, enough for morning coffee or a meal outside.
The fully finished basement has 72-inch ceilings and a flexible bonus room for a home office or gym, along with a dedicated laundry room, under-stair storage and a cedar-lined closet.
Motor Parkway is about 3 minutes away on foot and Alley Pond Park is about 7. For errands, Quick Stop Deli and Grocery is about 2 minutes away.
