Manicured Renaissance Revival legal 2-family brick house located in Central Ridgewood Historic District that was partially renovated by its current owners who created a sprawling lower level duplex combining the garden level (880 sf) with the basement level (870 sf). When you enter the owners' duplex you immediately notice the great amount of light and sun that is coming in as the renovated kitchen, dining area and living room are facing South. From the kitchen, you have direct access to the South facing garden (670 sf) where you can entertain, relax and finally breathe! The bathroom on this floor has been recently and beautifully renovated. On this floor you also have an office space or den, and a sprawling bedroom with 2 windows that is facing the quiet street.

On the basement level (870 sf), there is a second bedroom, another full bathroom, a kitchenette, a laundry room and a gigantic recreation room that the owners are using as a gym and guests' quarters. The mechanicals room is located on this level as well. The gas boiler was changed in 2014 and the water heater in 2012.

4 split AC units have been installed in the owners' duplex: 3 on the main floor and another 1 on the basement level.

All electric and plumbing have been updated and the owners' duplex is truly in a move-in condition.

The second floor is a large rental apartment (920 sf) with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and 1 office space or a den. This apartment is in need of a new kitchen and bathroom but has a huge potential and is getting a lot of light and sun all day long. The current tenants would be happy to stay but the property is sold as is and can also be delivered vacant at closing.

Don't look any further, this is it! You finally found the house you were looking for where you can just move in while updating the rental apartment upstairs.

Shopping, dining and transportation (L and M trains) can be found just a few blocks away. Local favorites include Norma's Cafe, Miller & Makers Bakery, Julia's Wine Bar, The Acre, Shop Stay Forever gift store and newcomer Rolo's gourmet marketplace. Last but not least, supermarket, post office and pharmacy are all around the corner.

60-40 71st Avenue is a special place, a fantastic opportunity not to be missed.
