655 19th Street

Just listed! This turn-of-the-century home is in excellent move-in condition and is a terrific condo or coop alternative. Set on a lovely tree-lined block, this brick two-story brick gem features a sweet front porch, a big backyard, and very usable basement space. It has had a number of upgrades, including central-air-conditioning. On the first floor, you will find an open living/dining room with original pine floors and lovely light from windows front and rear. The kitchen is in the extension, offering ample oak cabinetry and space for a breakfast table. The tree-shaded backyard is accessed through a small utility room off the kichen. The original staircase takes you upstairs to the full-width master bedroom, filled with light from three southwest windows. A second bedroom is in the rear, as is the renovated bathroom. The basement level offers a large open space suitable for rec room/media room, as well as a front utility room with sidewalk access. The laundry room in the rear houses the furnace and the new "tankless" hot water heater, as well as the full-size washer and dryer. There is also a full bath with stall shower on this level. With taxes under $400/month, this home represents a substantial savings over coops and condos of similar size. Street parking is easy and the F and G trains are near. Don't delay!
