Description

Introducing 286 Gates Ave, a great opportunity for an investor or a homeowner to reside in the duplex and let the income from the other 3 units pay their mortgage. This solid, brick building is situated on one of the best blocks in Bedford-Stuyvesant near the border of Clinton Hill. This legal four family consists of three, floor-through, two bedroom apartments and one duplex apartment with the first floor and garden combined. The duplex apartment can easily be used as a 2 or 3 bedroom with a spacious living room in the basement. The garden level contains full windows for extra light and has separate access from the front. Additionally, it has access to the backyard via a rear door. The floor-through apartments are configured with spacious two bedrooms and a living room between. Each living room has a window on the side for extra light. With minor cosmetic upgrades, this structurally solid building can be converted into a high income yielding rental property, or it can be converted into a boutique condominium. Furthermore, it can be quite suitable for an occupying homeowner to live spaciously for free. Constructed on a 1700 SF lot with building dimensions of 17 x 50 SF and over 4200 total finished SF. Located only a few blocks from the C, S shuttle and G trains. The area is populated with plenty of amenities including trendy restaurants, supermarkets, cafes and a YMCA.
