Home Details for 33-42 87 Street

This large 1920s-era house was originally built as a one-family but was legally converted into a two-family many years ago. It is a brick, three-story, semi-attached house that sits on a 30’x100’ lot, with a orange-tile roof, its own driveway, a backyard and a detached one-car garage. Currently, the first floor and the front half of the second floor serve as one unit, and the rear of the second floor and third floor as the second unit. However, because there is a side entrance from the driveway, the house can also be configured with the first floor and basement as one unit and the second and third floors as the second unit. Or simply return it to a one-family house. You enter the first floor into a bright sunroom/bedroom with eight windows. Then proceed through a French door into the large living room with a woodburning fireplace. Between the living room and the kitchen is a full bathroom. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining area and two small rooms. And a door from the kitchen leads to the backyard and garage/driveway. The staircase divides the front and rear half of the house. On the second floor are three rooms and a large bathroom. And on the third floor is a spacious kitchen, bathroom and large bedroom facing the rear. Finally, there is a full basement, with utilities and significant storage space, along with access to the rear yard. In the same family for almost six decades, the house does need a significant amount of updating. But here is the opportunity to make it your own, restoring its 1920s “bones” to contemporary taste and needs. Centrally located, and adjacent to the Jackson Heights Historic District and Paseo Park (34th Avenue), the house is close to everything – shopping, schools, transportation (subway/bus/vehicular) and houses of worship.
