Incredible opportunity in Kensington Awaits! FINAL OPEN HOUSE SUNDAY

304 East 8th Street is a massive two family with excellent bones midway through a wonderful and quiet block. Currently this beauty is laid out as a two family with two floor-through apartments and a huge semi-finished windowed basement, which was previously used for storage and a workshop. Light and charm abound in this marvelous home.

Both floors have large living rooms with bright southern light in the front and dining or bedrooms with garden views in the back. In the style if many homes of this era, there are two rooms in the middle off the front and back which could be additional bedrooms, dens, offices, massive walk-in closets or a nursery. The top floor gains an additional bedroom/office in the front, while the parlor floor has a vestibule off the kitchen and direct access to the backyard. The kitchens are sizable in the back corner and work well for those who love galleys, but opening them up to enjoy the full 20' width would be exciting.

While both units were recently lived in full time, the opportunities to update or reimagine for your own purposes are endless. Keep it as a two family and consider updating baths or kitchens for your own pleasure or to increase rents in a rising market. If you're looking for more space, you could duplex the basement easily and finish it, or, go big and make the home a grand single family. The parlor could be opened from one end to the other for a 55' great room with amazing light and flow. The home comes already with a roof and mechanicals in excellent condition.

Located on a homey block in Kensington, 304 E. 8th Street benefits from being tucked away from large streets, but still close enough to be moments from the action and restaurants on Church Ave and Cortelyou Road. This home is also well positioned between the Church Ave F/G and Beverley Q subway stops and multiple bus lines for easy transportation. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
