About This Home
As of May 2023Perfectly located on a highly coveted tree-lined street in prime Bay Ridge and just minutes to the waterfront, this sprawling home has all you could want: a gracious layout with expansive rooms; gorgeous light throughout from four exposures; pre-war details and high ceilings; stained glass; split a/c units; and an oversized garage with private driveway.
With 6 BDs and 4.5 BAs, the immaculately maintained home is over 5100 sq ft and has an elevated entrance on a lushly landscaped 50' x 109' lot.
The side hall entry opens to a foyer and grand first floor that is a highlight of the home. Its South-facing double living area is a true stunner, sun-drenched by 15 windows. The space is accented by a classic arch and original herringbone hardwood floors with inlay borders that continue through the large formal dining room.
The eat-in kitchen is complete with a cheerful breakfast nook, abundant storage and granite countertop space, Sub-Zero, wall oven, and cooktop stove. An office/den and powder room are also found on this level.
A wide staircase with stained glass windows lead to the serene second floor, which offers treetop and open sky views. The spacious en-suite primary bedroom runs the full width of the home and has its own dressing room and windowed bath.
The second largest BD sits in the tranquil rear of the home, with lovely light from a corner bank of windows. Another spacious BD and full bath are also on this level. The third floor offers 3 more whimsical BDs with original ceiling arches and full bath.
The lower level has 8.5' ceiling height and widows on all sides and features a spacious fully finished recreation area, laundry room and bath, and storage/utility areas.
The secluded wrap-around yard has a lovely lawn area, patio and established plantings and trees.
Improvements include updated electrical, replaced water main, well-maintained mechanicals, new top floor windows, full alarm system, etc.
