From the original listing · ZillowShow

CAN BE DELIVERED VACANT! Second and third floor currently vacant, and first floor has a month to month tenant.

Welcome to 31-17 79th Street, a well maintained legal three family home in the highly convenient East Elmhurst/Jackson Heights area of Queens. An outstanding opportunity for investors, owner occupants, or buyers seeking a home designed for multigenerational living, this spacious property offers flexible layouts, private outdoor space, and valuable off street parking.

The walk in level features a one bedroom unit, while the second and third floors each offer two bedrooms, a kitchen, formal dining room, living room, and full bathroom. Both upper units offer excellent flexibility, with the potential to convert the formal dining room into a third bedroom, subject to applicable approvals and requirements, creating even greater rental or extended family possibilities.

The second floor unit enjoys direct access to the backyard, providing a wonderful outdoor extension of the living space. Throughout the home, beautiful solid hardwood floors add warmth and character, while gas heat and the property's excellent overall condition make this a home that has been thoughtfully maintained.

At approximately 22 feet wide, the house offers a noticeably more spacious feel than many of the 20 foot wide homes commonly found throughout Queens. Adding even more value is a one car garage plus a private driveway with room for multiple vehicles, a major convenience for a multifamily property.

The location combines a residential neighborhood setting with excellent access to everything Queens has to offer. The property is considered Very Walkable, with a Walk Score of 86, and the surrounding area offers strong transit accessibility. The 7 train at 82nd Street, Jackson Heights/Roosevelt Avenue is approximately three quarters of a mile away, providing convenient connections toward Manhattan and other parts of Queens. Neighborhood shopping, restaurants, schools, buses, and everyday conveniences are all within easy reach.

Whether you're looking to generate rental income, live in one unit while renting the others, accommodate multiple generations under one roof, or create a long term Queens investment, 31-17 79th Street offers the space, flexibility, parking, and location to make it possible.

A rare combination of a legal three family configuration, 22 foot wide footprint, backyard, garage, multi car driveway, hardwood floors, and flexible layouts, all in a highly convenient Queens location.
