Property Description

Live in either of the gorgeous, nicely renovated two-bedroom units in this duplex and let the tenant’s rent cover a sizable chunk of your mortgage payment. There’s also a bonus garden-level unit with powder room for a dreamy live-work situation or the potential for additional retail rental income. Take your pick for your home: The first-floor unit has private access to the rear yard while the second floor has a slightly larger main living space. From the well-maintained facade with pretty original bay window, both units have a private entrance; high ceilings with recessed lighting; exposed brick accents; well-appointed kitchens; spacious, stylish baths; and central air. The first-floor unit has wide-plank oak floors throughout, an open floorplan living room and kitchen with marbled quartz island with undermount sink, stainless steel appliances including a five-burner Samsung range and Frigidaire dishwasher, and black beveled subway tile backsplash. Off the hallway with exposed brick wall is the bathroom with large-format porcelain tile floor and tub surround with pennytile accent, a large vanity with drawers, and a floor-to-ceiling storage niche, followed by a good-sized middle bedroom and large rear bedroom with exclusive access to the yard. The second-floor unit has a private staircase with exposed brick wall that opens to the spacious open-plan living space with gleaming new hardwood floors. The living room has a bay window, decorative wall molding and tray ceiling. The super-stylish L-shaped kitchen features black Shaker-style cabinets with gold hardware, marbled quartz countertop with breakfast bar and undermount sink, marble and gold hex tile backsplash, and Samsung stainless steel appliances including a five-burner range and dishwasher. The hall bath has a cement mosaic tile floor, tub with polished textured subway tile surround and transom window and a cage pendant light above the vanity. Mirroring the first floor are the good-sized middle and back bedrooms with nice closets and good natural light. The location just around the corner from 52nd St gives easy access to shopping, dining and public transit.
