Description

8865 17th Avenue is a spacious, two-family brick home with two private parking spaces in the rear of the property, accessed via a semi-private road. Only one block from Bath Beach Park and the Shore Parkway Trail, the home is on the doorstep of expansive waterfront parkland.

The house is configured with two private residences: a three-bedroom upper-duplex, with a two-bedroom apartment on the garden level. Each residence has a separate entrance in both the front and the rear of the property, adding value, convenience, and privacy.

The entrances to the upper duplex are located one flight above the garden level, on comfortably sized terraces in the front and rear. Featured in the virtual tour, the spacious duplex features an eat-in-kitchen, vast living and dining areas, both a full and half bathroom, and three spacious bedrooms.

Currently used as a rental unit, the garden apartment features a rear patio, two large and separate bedrooms, as well as a spacious living and dining area. Below the garden level, there is a partially finished basement accessible via a private entrance in the rear of the property. There is no shortage of outdoor space on the property, with a front garden, two covered terraces, and a rear patio.

Spacious, private, and conveniently designed, 8865 17th Avenue is an ideal purchase for owners seeking to use the property as a personal residence with a rental to offset expenses, or owners seeking to simply use the property as an income-producing investment.
