.... Welcome to one of the last pieces of suburbia left in the city. 161-18 96th Street is nestled in the quiet, tight knit neighborhood of Howard Beach, Queens. This move-in ready low ranch style duplex home boasts three bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs as well as a huge bonus one bedroom apartment with its own separate entrance located on the lower level. The entire house is move-in ready and just waiting for you to turn it into a home. Covering almost 2000 SF including the basement here are a few of the most recent updates; freshly painted, new washer/dryer, new appliances, refinished floors, updated bathroom, new HVAC system, new water main, new garage door and all covered by a 5 year old roof. When it comes to the outside of the house, this 4000 SF lot is beautifully maintained, has parking enough for 6 cars with a garage and more than enough room to install an inground pool. In regard to location, 96th Street is perfectly situated. A short 10 minute walk to the A train/JFK Shuttle or a 5 minute walk to Crossbay Blvd were you can catch local and express buses to Rockaway and Manhattan. Your new home is also close to shopping, schools, houses of worship and some of the best restaurants in the city. Whether you're a first time home buyer, need some more room or maybe less, this beautiful home is an option that must be seen.
