Rare Brooklyn Opportunity
A beautiful one-family, fully detached home on an extra-wide street — plus a separate buildable lot included in the sale! The sale includes the vacant lot next door (Block 8280, Lot 14) — 20'' x 100'' — offering exciting potential for expansion. Combine it with the existing lot for a full 40'' x 100'' — the possibilities are endless: a garden, additional parking, space for social gatherings, or ground-up development.
Welcome home! Step into a bright, airy living room that flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchen — the open layout is perfect for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings in.
The second floor offers three generous bedrooms, each filled with natural light and ample closet space, plus a full bathroom.
Need more space? The finished attic is ready to serve as extra storage, a seasonal wardrobe closet, or a quiet hobby nook.
The full basement adds tremendous value. Beyond housing the mechanicals and a two-year-old boiler, it offers an expansive recreation room ideal for a home theater, gym, or play area, along with two additional storage rooms. This level also features a brand-new washer and dryer.
The true highlight of this property is the sprawling backyard — fully enclosed with vinyl fencing and centered around a massive 12'' x 24'' pool. CCTV security cameras are already installed for peace of mind. Whether you''re hosting summer BBQs on the large covered patio or lounging poolside, this private oasis is a rare find in Brooklyn, offering the perfect escape from the city hustle.
Location highlights: A short drive to JFK Airport and Resorts World Casino. Cycling enthusiasts will love the nearby Jamaica Bay Greenway and Shirley Chisholm State Park.
