Introducing 211 East 56th Street, a Mid-20th century brick townhouse located on a quiet, tree-lined block in East Flatbush, nestled between Church Avenue and Snyder Avenue.

The owner's duplex encompasses the first floor and lower level, offering a functional and well-proportioned layout that includes a front-facing living room, an eat-in kitchen, and a bedroom with a full bath on the main level, along with direct access to a terrace that seamlessly connects to the private backyard, ideal for entertaining or enjoying outdoor space. The lower level features a front-facing recreation room, an additional full bathroom, two rear-facing bedrooms, as well as interior access to the garage, providing both flexibility and convenience. The second floor consists of a separate unit, complete with a front-facing living room, two bedrooms, an eat-in kitchen, and a full bathroom, making it well-suited for extended family or rental income.

The backyard extends approximately 20 feet by over 34 feet in depth, offering generous outdoor space, while the terrace adds an additional transitional outdoor element. The home does require TLC, presenting an excellent opportunity to customize and add value over time.
