436a Marion St

From the moment you step foot in the door, you will feel at home.  This super sweet two family brick townhouse has a warm and welcoming energy like no other home on the market- you will notice the difference.  Offering a three bedroom, two bathroom owner's duplex over a spacious one bedroom, one bathroom garden level apartment, with a full cellar for extra storage and a washer/dryer that is accessed directly from the owner's unit.  The gorgeous backyard has a new Bamboo fence and raised planter boxes, and each unit is separately metered.  Enjoy the modern comforts of central air and double paned windows throughout, with multiple closets and a bathroom on every level of the home.

The parlor level has soaring 10 foot ceilings, frosted glass French front doors, wide plank hardwood floors, exposed brick and a beautifully restored original fireplace.  Spanning approximately 45 feet from front to back, this level is set up for comfortable living and entertaining.  Double paned casement windows with a charming window seat overlook the tree lined street below.  The oversized living room with original decorative fireplace has plenty of room for multiple seating areas, and flows perfectly into the open concept kitchen.  Featuring top of the line stainless steel appliances including a 5 burner Bosch range with matching microwave above, a French door LG refrigerator and a Blomberg dishwasher.  A large breakfast bar with stylish pendant lights provides extra counter space and has room for 3 stools. You'll have plenty of storage with 13 cabinets in this top of the line kitchen!  A full bathroom is also on this level, and there is direct access to the basement from the parlor, which bypasses the garden level rental. 

A large dining room is located next to the kitchen, welcoming in bright South Eastern sunlight.  With space for a table that seats 6 or more and direct access to the large deck with stairs leading to the idyllic garden that has been manicured to perfection.  A new Bamboo fence surrounding the garden and raised planter boxes have just been added to provide the perfect atmosphere for enjoying summer barbecues!  

A stylish exposed brick wall with a large skylight above creates the perfect entrance to the top level, where you'll find 3 spacious bedrooms that all have closets and room for at least a Queen sized bed.  The master bedroom is located on the front of the house, receiving gentle North Western sunshine through the three large windows that overlook the treetops of Marion Street.  You can fit a King sized bed plus extra furniture in this large room.  An original decorative fireplace adds charm and character to this comfortable bedroom. The second bedroom basks in South Eastern sunshine streaming in through the windows overlooking the garden, with room for a Queen sized bed and a desk.  The third bedroom makes for a perfect home office or guest room, and has a large skylight.  Each bedroom has its own closet.  A full bathroom is on this floor, with a large skylight that provides extra sunshine- and who doesn't like that!

On the garden level, a large and well laid-out one bedroom apartment with backyard access has an estimated rental income of $2,400/month.  Incorporation into the upstairs duplex to create a single family townhouse would be simple, or duplex it with the cellar to boost your rental income.  

The cellar provides extra storage and houses the washer/dryer.  Stairs lead down to this level from the front and back of the house allowing for multiple egresses for loading things in and out.  Each unit is separately metered. 

436a Marion is situated on a tree lined street across from Marion Hopkinson Park.  Two blocks from the J/Z trains at Chauncey, four from the L at Bushwick Aberdeen, and five from the C at Rockaway- you can be in Manhattan in 30 minutes!  Easy street parking, multiple bike lanes and convenient city buses, and a short drive to the Jackie Robinson Parkway and Highland Park. Little Skips East Cafe, Lady Moo Moo's Ice Cream Shop, Covert Cocktail Club, Sonora and Daily Press Coffee are just a few of the local neighborhood hotspots to enjoy- and more are popping up often!
