Welcome home to this bright and cheerful coastal bungalow, offering easy single-level living and a smart opportunity to start your equity portfolio. Step inside to find a sun-filled living room, a cozy kitchen with an island, and two comfortable bedrooms. A generously sized bathroom, new flooring throughout, and an attic with plywood flooring make the space both functional and inviting. A private rear yard provides room for outdoor living or entertaining. This home is thoughtfully updated with practical features including a brand-new suitcase-style combination boiler with on-demand hot water and energy-saving spray foam insulation, offering comfort and efficiency all year long. Located in the Hamilton Beach section of Howard Beach, this property offers extremely low property taxes (under $2,200/year). While flood insurance is required, the policy is affordable and offset by the low carrying costs, making this a smart alternative to condo or co-op living for first-time buyers ready to build equity and invest in their future.
