From the original listing · Realtor.comShow

MOTIVATED SELLER!!! FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY to own a corner property in desirable Canarsie, Brooklyn. This single-family home features two bedrooms and one bathroom on the main level, plus a full attic offering plenty of storage. The lower level, previously configured as an accessory unit, requires renovation following a prior plumbing issue. The plumbing has since been repaired. The asking price reflects the work needed, allowing buyers to customize the space. This property requires a cash buyer or an FHA 203(k) or similar renovation loan. The oversized yard and garage area accommodate at least six vehicles. Conveniently located near expressways, parks, shopping, and public transportation.
