Bring your finishing touches, not a renovation budget. Set on a 40' x 100' lot in the heart of Old Howard Beach, this spacious brick home offers a flexible layout with up to five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two driveways. With many of the larger and more costly improvements already completed, the next owner can focus on refreshing and personalizing the home rather than taking on any major projects. The showpiece of the home is the gorgeous brand new chef's kitchen, thoughtfully designed with abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and a large center island ideal for cooking, gathering, and entertaining. This floor also features a recently renovated bathroom, three generously sized bedrooms, formal living and dining areas, and a pull down stair to reach the attic storage. Downstairs, three exterior entrances lead to an exceptionally flexible layout featuring two generously sized recreation rooms. This space lends itself beautifully to extended living, entertaining, working from home, or creating private areas with a variety of uses. Major improvements include a roof that is approximately two years old, along with a newer boiler and hot water heater. The home also offers keyless entry, tons of storage, and abundant parking. Outside, the private backyard features an in-ground pool that was last opened and operating during the 2024 season, creating the foundation for a wonderful outdoor entertaining space. Outside you will also find hexagonal pavers and an aluminum awning. Some work remains, including some interior painting (upstairs living and dining areas have been virtually painted in the photos), some molding repairs, and replacement of portions of the cracked concrete driveway, but this is far from a home that needs a lot of work. Ideally located within walking distance of neighborhood shopping, dining, and transportation, while still comfortably removed from the immediate activity, this home offers space, flexibility, and an impressive list of updates.
