Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by IVEY NORTH LLC.
This Canarsie house has 2,244 square feet, five bedrooms and four bathrooms, on a 20 by 100 foot lot. The listing describes a flexible multi-level layout, and that's the detail I'd focus on first. A plan that moves across levels can keep sleeping, cooking and gathering in separate zones, which counts for a house with this many bedrooms.
The listing also frames the spaces as ones that can change as your needs change. That fits a house of this size, where a room can be a bedroom one year and an office or a guest room the next.
The Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy station on the L is about 10 minutes away on foot, and East 105 St on the same line is about 12 minutes. Wilson Playground is about 3 minutes away, 100% Playground about 5, and Fresh Creek Nature Preserve, about 77 acres, about 7.
Pets are allowed.
