COURIER LIFE, NOV. 13-19, 2020 33
f you love the ocean, this
is the home for you. For
only $629,000 you can
call this lovely canal-side
duplex home, and with all
the conveniences of city
living. Walk into the twostory
house at 24 Gotham
ave., and you’ll encounter a
classic living room and dining
room combination with
a full kitchen and a den by
the back, which opens up to
the gorgeous deck overlooking
the canal. Upstairs you
will find three bedrooms
with ample closet space and
a full bath, and downstairs,
a full and unfinished basement.
But the fun won’t end
there. At the rear of the
house along the canal are
two boat slips, 24 feet long,
where you can park a boat
for fishing, tubing, or cruising
— providing endless
summer fun on Shell Bank
Creek and Jamaica Bay.
The quaint neighborhood
is the perfect place to
raise a family. Lined with
one and two-story Duplex,
the quiet road harkens back
to a past New York City,
where close community
meets comfort and tranquility.
The surrounding
Gerritsen Beach is equally
peaceful, with close-knit
blocks and the sprawling
landscape of the Marine
Park, equipped with hiking
trails and other outdoor activities,
only a short walk
away. The closest public
elementary school — only
a 12 minute walk away —
is better than 81.3 percent
of elementary schools in
state, and boasts high test
scores.
But though it may feel
like your calm summer getaway,
the home is only a
30-minute drive from Manhattan,
and about 1 hour on
public transit, giving you
access to all the benefits of
the big city.
