Property Description for 79-06 214th Street

Opportunity awaits in the heart of Oakland Gardens. This oversized colonial has been extended and built out, offering maximum potential for a savvy buyer looking for an ideal location. This home sits on an oversized 46x100 lot size and offers building dimensions of 25x41 feet, with the potential to extend back even further. With five bedrooms (one of which is on the first floor), 2.5 bathrooms (one in the primary bedroom as an en suite) and a recently remodeled kitchen featuring brand new wood cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, space abounds for someone with the vision to modernize this oasis. The big-ticket items are brand new, including a fully upgraded electric system throughout the house, a new roof, a new hot water heater and a new boiler. The home also features Anderson windows in each room. There are two dining areas (one of which can be converted back into a bedroom or used as additional living space), a side entrance through the kitchen, an indoor garage that includes an overhead custom-built workman's shop, and an expansive yard with a wooden deck. A fully finished basement with a brand new washer and dryer offers additional living space. All of the heavy lifting has been done for you! In addition to space, this home's location is zoned for District 26 schools (PS 46 Alley Pond elementary school and JHS 74 Nathaniel Hawthorne middle school). It is also proximal to shopping, restaurants and public transportation on Bell Boulevard (including the LIRR stop and express buses to Manhattan).
