Rarely does an affordable home in move-in condition become available on one of the most picturesque tree-lined blocks in Gowanus. Lovingly maintained by its current owner, a few cosmetic upgrades will bring it back to its glory, or live in it as-is and make changes over time. Enjoy an owners garden duplex with a top floor rental for less than the price of a condo, or take the entire house and enjoy a 4 to 5 bedroom home with an incredible South-facing garden. Either way, this property is a home-run and super accessible to the F/G/R trains just one block away, and all of the amazing amenities that both Gowanus and Park Slope have to offer.Currently configured with the kitchen, living room and dining room on the first floor, with easy access to an incredible perennial garden that has been beautifully maintained over the years, providing a lush escape from urban life. The addition of an extension on this level affords the opportunity to have a formal dining room off the garden, flooded with light all day long. A full bathroom on this floor is also very convenient. Head upstairs to two large light-filled bedrooms and an additional full bath. The top floor is vacant but could easily be rented again as a high-income 1 bedroom rental OR take it back for yourself and get three extra bedrooms upstairs and live large.Charm abounds and includes a wonderful front and back garden for privacy, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a lovely clapboard facade. Both kitchens feature white wood rustic kitchen cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. A full height cellar offers up laundry and fantastic storage. The block itself is a uniquely special block with a strong sense of community and an eclectic mix of beautifully renovated brick and wood townhouses. Incredibly easy access to subways at 4th avenue and 9th street, in addition to multiple supermarkets, health clubs, Prospect Park, award winning restaurants and shops in every direction, and a few blocks to the new Whole Foods. Why buy a condo when you can buy an entire house and spread your wings for years to comedelivered vacant of course.
