Description

Why buy a condo when you can own the entire building for the same price? 70 Somers Street is a spacious, three-story (plus cellar) single-family townhome in Bedford-Stuyvesant that offers the rare combination of low monthly carrying costs with the luxury of townhouse privacy.

With 4 large bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms spread across three levels, this home is designed for the modern lifestyle. Whether you need dedicated home offices, a workout studio, or a playroom, the layout provides the separation of space today's homeowners crave.

While this home was gut renovated in 2020 and nearly new, the current owners have added thoughtful, high-end improvements including: blue stone patio, repointed brick facade, new water heater, new dishwasher, custom front yard trash bin enclosure, custom closet build outs and a custom pantry in the kitchen, making this house even better than new!

The ground floor provides easy access to the main floor of the house without having to climb any stairs. The open concept flow leads seamlessly from living room, dining room, kitchen and then the private backyard sanctuary. The front patio were recently hardscaped with beautiful bluestone pavers.

The second floor contains a primary suite with walk-in closet with built-in shelving and loads of hanging space leading to an en suite bathroom. A windowed full bathroom and another bedroom round out this floor.

Continue upstairs to find two well-proportioned bedrooms and a sun-drenched landing under two massive skylights -- ideal for a library, secondary workspace or a home gym! The washer/dryer is included in the sale and located on this floor.

And if that's not enough, the lower level has interior access from the ground floor and is fully finished with a 6ft ceiling height, making for that valuable "flex" space that can be used as storage, wine cellar, or playroom.

As offices call for a return to in-person work, location is everything. 70 Somers Street is one block from the Rockaway Avenue C train with direct access to Manhattan and across Brooklyn. Experience the best of the neighborhood with local gems like Olmo, Dolly's Coffee Shop, BADABOOM, and Earth People Wine, all conveniently located just minutes away.

70 Somers Street is the perfect move-in ready townhouse with low taxes, beautiful finishes and plenty of space. Come view it today!
