From the original listing · Realtor.comShowHide
Vintage character, two full-floor apartments and a backyard bring opportunity to 125 Shepherd Avenue in Cypress Hills. Set within a row of brick homes, the house retains distinctive details, including a decorative cornice, a wood entry door and substantial interior moldings. Each apartment extends from front to back, with separate living and dining spaces, a kitchen and a bathroom. Each floor provides multiple layout configurations, offering flexibility in how the spaces are used. The interiors combine updates with well-preserved vintage finishes. The upper apartment's kitchen features wood cabinetry and stone countertops, while the lower apartment retains metal cabinets and a classic sink with drainboards on both sides. Pink tubs and vintage bathroom tile add personality, with both bathrooms in notably well-maintained condition. A paved backyard provides space for outdoor dining, container gardening or relaxing outside. The basement offers additional storage and utility space. The two-apartment layout offers options for buyers seeking a home with rental income potential or investors looking to add to their portfolio. Buyers may also explore the possibility of combining the lower apartment. Area highlights include Highland Park's playgrounds, tennis courts and green space, along with paths around Ridgewood Reservoir. The nearby Norwood Avenue J/Z station provides subway access to Manhattan.
