About This Home
Welcome to 17 Schenck Ave in Brooklyn, a spacious and renovated semi-detached single-family home offering exceptional flexibility in a convenient and upcoming residential setting. Spanning four levels, including a full basement with a separate entrance, this well-maintained residence offers approximately 1,824 sq ft of interior space and 220 sq ft basement on a 2,200 sq ft lot. With six bedrooms and two full bathrooms, the home provides ample room for comfortable living, extended household arrangements, or future reconfiguration. The first floor features an inviting layout with a formal parlour boasting soaring 117-inch ceilings, a separate dining area highlighted by a decorative fireplace, and a fully renovated kitchen. From the kitchen, you’ll step directly onto a porch that opens to a large, fully fenced backyard—ideal for outdoor gatherings, gardening, or private relaxation. A full bathroom completes this level. The second floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a full bathroom, including a bright west-facing bedroom filled with natural sunlight. The third floor adds three additional bedrooms, providing excellent flexibility for bedrooms, home offices, or guest space. Recent upgrades include all new windows installed in 2022 and new siding, enhancing both efficiency and curb appeal. Outdoors, the property features a dedicated front garden plot (with two mature blueberry bushes), adding charm and green space to the home’s exterior. Ideally located, the home is just approximately seven minutes’ walk to the Van Siclen J subway station, offering convenient access to Manhattan and surrounding areas.

With its generous layout and separate basement entrance, the property also presents strong potential to be converted into a two- or three-unit home (subject to appropriate approvals), making it an attractive opportunity for end-users and investors alike. A rare combination of space, location, and future potential—this home is one of a kind and is ready for its next chapter.
