Welcome to this beautiful brick 3 bedroom duplex in the heart of Fresh Meadows and School district 26. The home is in excellent condition with recent brick pointing,  gas heating and a newer kitchen featuring stone countertops, large island with breakfast area, stainless steel appliances and many cabinets. In addition to the 3 bedrooms  and two and a half bathrooms (with the half bathroom being on the first floor), there is a first floor room that can be used as a home office or as a 4th bedroom. The basement is fully finished with a bonus room and laundry and features an entrance from the inside of the home and an entrance from the driveway. The garage is attached and the private driveway provides additional parking.  A private backyard off the first floor is an ideal place for gathering and entertaining. The location is prime, in close proximity  to PS 173 and MS 216 (Ryan) which are both Blue Ribbon Schools. The Fresh Meadows shops at 188th St and Union Turnpike are close by and  offer many options for eateries, shopping, cinemas and more. Cunningham Park, Kissena Park and Pecks Park give the area a suburban feel. Served by several bus routes on Utopia and Union Turnpike and close to major expressways, the property is an example of convenience, privacy and investment value.  The zoning is R4 which would allow conversion to a 2 family (please consult with your architect). Priced right, it will sell fast.
