The large structurally sound 2 storeys plus basement building of 20x68 ft is in need of renovations providing an opportunity for the handyman, contractor or designer of vision to maximize its full potential. The Lot is 25x100 ft within the R5B zoning district and it still has 825 sq ft of unused air rights (please check with your architect for expansion options). The location is well known for its convenience, within 0.8 miles to the Astoria-Ditmars Blvd N and W subway station, multiple bus routes, and many entertainment and restaurant options. The area has always been residential and highly desirable with Astoria Park as one of its main attractions with its outdoor pool, running track, bocce courts, tennis courts, skate park and dog friendly sections. Shore Boulevard by the park is now an Open Street, without vehicular traffic and ideal for bicycles and runners. The proximity to NYC, La Guardia Airport and all means of transportation makes this address a commuters paradise.
