Property Description for 21-50 71st Street

A Rare Opportunity in East Elmhurst – Original-Owner Brick Two-Family with Private Parking, Expansive Backyard & Versatile Walk-In Level

Offered for the first time by the family that built it in 1992, this semi-attached brick two-family home at 21-50 71st Street presents an outstanding opportunity for homeowners and investors alike. Thoughtfully maintained by its original owners for more than three decades, the property combines a practical multi-generational layout, generous living space, private parking, and the flexibility that makes two-family ownership so attractive.

Situated on an approximately 20' x 127' lot, the property offers approximately 2,430 square feet of recorded building area, with three levels, two residential units, and an additional walk-in-level flex space.

The upper residence features three bedrooms, offering comfortable accommodations with the space and flexibility for today's living needs.

The second residence offers two bedrooms, providing an excellent opportunity for rental income, extended family occupancy, or an owner-occupied arrangement.

The walk-in level adds another dimension of versatility, offering flexible space well suited for a recreation room, home office, guest area, or other permitted accessory use.

Inside, the home features hardwood flooring in the main residential living areas, comfortable living and dining spaces, functional kitchens, generous natural light, and thoughtfully arranged rooms that provide a solid foundation for personalizing the property.

The home's mechanical features include: central air conditioning, two Weil-McLain boiler systems, and two A. O. Smith hot water heaters, providing dedicated heating and hot water equipment. A new roof adds another important improvement.

Outdoor space is equally appealing. The private driveway and garage offer valuable off-street parking, while the exceptionally deep property provides a spacious rear concrete patio and backyard, complete with mature greenery and room for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying your own private retreat.

The home's semi-attached brick construction, three-level configuration, private outdoor space, and functional two-family layout make it particularly appealing to buyers seeking the benefits of homeownership together with the potential of an income-producing property.

Conveniently located in East Elmhurst near Ditmars Boulevard, neighborhood shopping, dining, public transportation, and major roadways, this property offers the comfort of an established Queens residential neighborhood with access to the rest of New York City.

Built by one family. Owned by one family. Now ready for its next chapter.

Whether you're seeking a primary residence with rental income potential, a multi-generational home, or a long-term real estate investment, 21-50 71st Street offers a compelling combination of space, utility, and opportunity.

Astoria Heights | Queens

Quick Profile

Just outside the hustle and bustle of Astoria sits a triangular-shaped neighborhood known as Astoria Heights. It’s a quiet middle-class sub-neighborhood of Astoria, and it has a charming suburban feel. It offers tree-lined streets, one and two-family homes, a few small parks, and mom-and-pop style stores, especially along 21st Avenue, the business district. 

Astoria Heights (aka Upper Ditmars by some old-time residents) is easy to navigate. Much like the bulk of Manhattan, the streets are laid out in a numerical grid. The neighborhood is bounded by 19th Avenue and Rikers Island Bridge to the north, Astoria Boulevard to the south, 81st Street to the East, and Hazen Street to the west. 

Astoria was initially named Hallett’s Cove after a local landowner. Developers and civic leaders, attempting to rebrand the area, and woo millionaire John Jacob Astor to invest in the neighborhood, decided to use Astor’s name in the rebrand. Astor only invested a small amount, but the Astoria name stuck. 

Astoria and Astoria Heights have always had a diverse population. In the 1940s and 1950s, many Greek immigrants began migrating to Astoria and nearby areas. Asian, Middle Eastern, Latino and Indian immigrants have since contributed to the local melting pot. 

Astoria Heights is serviced by the M. N. R and W trains and the Q69, Q101, and M60 bus lines.
