Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Brooklyn Real Property Inc.
A detached two-family house from 1925 sits on Avenue M, with two stories and two separate apartments. The top floor holds a three-bedroom apartment and the first floor holds a two-bedroom, so the house offers five bedrooms and three bathrooms across its two homes. It's a legal two-family, which matters if you want both floors under one roof with clear separation between them.
The house was renovated in 2022 and can be delivered vacant. That lets a buyer set the timing of their own move-in rather than working around existing occupants. Each apartment has its own separate entrance, and the top-floor unit's layout gives you three bedrooms on one level, which keeps daily life simple.
The washer and dryer are in the unit, and I think that's the detail that matters most for everyday use. Having laundry inside the apartment is one less trip out the door each week.
A private backyard sits behind the house, and a full finished accessory basement adds room for storage or a bonus space. Those two areas are useful additions that don't take up living space upstairs.
For errands, Ideal Food Basket is about 2 minutes away on foot. Canarsie Park, 132.2 acres, is about 10 minutes away, and Jamaica Bay Branch Brooklyn Public Library is about 8 minutes on foot.
The building is listed as a green building. Pets are allowed and the property is smoke-free.
