11705 145th Street, Jamaica, NY 11436

Some two-family homes sell the shine. 117-05 145th Street sells a better homeownership equation. Offered below $1.1M, this well-kept semi-detached home presents a different path to two-family ownership, one that prioritizes income potential, privacy, parking and usable space without requiring a buyer to enter the higher price tier commonly attached to new two-family homes in Queens.

The property is configured as two legal residential units, each offering three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Both primary bedrooms include private full bathrooms, giving each residence a level of separation and functionality that matters in everyday living.

The vacant upper residence offers a bright living and dining area, hardwood floors and direct interior access to additional finished basement space with a washer, dryer and bathroom. This creates a larger, more flexible owner's footprint while preserving the first-floor residence as a separate legal unit capable of helping offset the cost of ownership.

The first-floor residence follows a substantially similar three-bedroom, two-bathroom arrangement, with differences in stair placement. The full finished basement provides additional usable space with high ceilings and a separate exterior entrance. Outside, the property continues to work in practical ways.

A gated and landscaped front yard creates a strong first impression, while the paved driveway provides comfortable off-street parking for up to three vehicles. The fenced backyard includes both lawn and paved areas, offering space that can be used and enjoyed without requiring an extensive renovation.

The home was completed in 1998 and has been carefully maintained through the years. It gives the next owner the opportunity to purchase a property that presents well, personalize it over time, and avoid paying someone else's renovation premium. Located near public transportation, JFK Airport, Baisley Pond Park, Baisley Pond Playground and Athletic Fields, Dr.

Charles R. Drew Park, P.S. 123 and neighborhood conveniences. 117-05 145th Street is more than a collection of bedrooms and bathrooms. It represents a better ownership equation: two legal residences, genuine rental-income opportunity, additional finished space, off-street parking and the ability to make the property your own without entering the premium pricing tier. For buyers evaluating what their money should accomplish, this is one of the most compelling two-family value propositions that Queens has to offer.
