A rare opportunity in the heart of Midwood. Welcome to 1488/1490. Two semi-attached, cottage-style, single-family homes are offered together for the first time. A one-of-a-kind opportunity with obvious curb appeal and a classic feel, Erected c1925 and set on a generous combined 45 X 100 ft. lot, this rare pair offers privacy, character, and incredible potential. Set back from the street, each is quiet and serene. Similar in setup, the first floor of each home is incredibly bright and offers formal living and formal dining rooms with beautiful center staircases. The rear-facing kitchens are ready for updates and overlook the manicured rear gardens. These gardens, long used as one, share a combined deck, a tranquil space ideal for relaxation or entertaining. Upstairs, both offer two well-sized bedrooms and large windowed baths. Each has a full basement, whereas the lower level of the home at # 1490 is currently used as recreation/office space, and the lower level of the home at #1488 is unfinished, a complete blank slate. Both homes have lower-level laundry, a washer, and a dryer for convenience. Parking for each is private and off-street, and there is one detached garage and a shed. The location is perfect, surrounded by the best of the neighborhood, and quietly situated on a serene block with surprisingly only these two houses, adding to the sense of privacy. This unique setup offers a charm and flexibility rarely found in the heart of Brooklyn.
