LOT BEHIND THE HOUSE

The property’s North Boundary is somewhere right behind the shed according to the Survey. From the North Lot Line to the White Fence through the woods is Town of Brookhaven Property and a member from the Planning Department said it was probably being used for drainage purposes. It’s unknown if anything will ever be built there but if nothing’s been built there since 1967 there’s good odds nothing ever will. To me that’s a big bonus. 

ROOF & SIDING

The current Roof is approximately 10 years old and the siding is approximately 15 years old. The water stains in the Master Bedroom happened prior to the installation of the new roof.

BASEMENT

The basement is Legally Finished for Recreational space with a 1/2 Bathroom.
The 1/2 bath was demolished at some point and the only thing that remains is the toilet bowl. Regardless, the Taxes reflect the finished basement and 1/2 bath. 

ACCESSORY APARTMENT

If someone wanted to make it a legal accessory apartment they would need to get the proper approvals; plans, building permit, CO and a rental permit and make any modifications to the existing layout to meet current code and accommodate the Building Department’s requests. However,  since it’s already been approved for recreational space, and being taxed on that space, I can’t see the taxes going up that much, if at all. I’m not saying they won’t but if they did I couldn’t see a drastic increase.

RENOVATION IDEAS

Since the Basement is 1/2-in-1/2-out of the ground, if the Room in the South East Corner of the Basement was turned into a Bedroom, with an Egress window being needed to pass Code, it wouldn’t require extensive Excavation, which could save money since most of the area could be dug out by hand. I don’t think that would be the best layout but it’s definitely the most cost effective way to go about making a Bedroom in the basement.

If the goal was to make an Accessory Apartment I would…

Eliminate the South East Room, to create an open space along the East side of the Basement with the Kitchen plumbing wall against the Bathroom partition wall and the Living Room could be where the South East Room is. 

Then either split the remaining South Center Room into 2 Bedrooms or create a Bedroom in the Oil Tank room. That would be a small Bedroom but it’s possible. 

If the South Center Room was used as a Bedroom or split into 2 Bedrooms a more extensive Excavation would be needed to incorporate 1 or 2 Egress windows but that could be a  great layout, especially if the North Oil Tank Room was used as another Bedroom or office. That Oil Tank Room could also be a laundry room / storage room if the Washer and Dryer were flipped to the other side of the wall that their currently against.
