Description
Welcome to 12239 Long Street, a charming semi-detached home in the heart of Jamaica offering 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, and a flexible layout filled with potential. Set on a tree-lined block with many renovated homes nearby, this property combines suburban-style comfort with convenient access to transportation, parks, shopping, and everyday essentials. Enjoy unobstructed neighborhood and sunset views from the home's oversized windows, which fill the interior with natural light throughout the day. Original hardwood flooring extends through much of the home and is ready to be sanded and refinished in the stain or color of your choice, allowing new owners to personalize the space to their style.The main level features a spacious living area, an eat-in kitchen with breakfast room, and generously sized bedrooms with room for full bedroom sets. Recent improvements include a newly painted front bedroom with updated hardwood flooring, freshly painted kitchen and basement walls, a new laminate kitchen floor, and a renovated half bathroom in the finished basement. The full basement offers exceptional bonus space with new flooring, a separate laundry room, storage closet, entertainment area, and convenient access to the backyard through a separate exit. New doors were added to separate the laundry, closet, and bathroom areas for added privacy and functionality. Outside, enjoy spacious front and backyards ideal for outdoor gatherings, gardening, or relaxing evenings, along with the convenience of a private driveway. Major mechanical and structural updates include roofs replaced in 2025 and a new water heater. Previous asbestos tile flooring in both the basement and kitchen was professionally tested and removed prior to renovations. While the majority of renovations have been done, the house is being sold as-is.Located just one block from Baisley Pond Park, residents can enjoy scenic trails, a lake, picnic and barbecue areas, and abundant green space. The home is also near local grocery stores, healthcare facilities, shops, schools, JFK Airport, MTA bus lines, and the Long Island Rail Road station for easy commuting throughout NYC and Long Island.
