1709 Starr St Ridgewood, NY 11385

Welcome to 1709 Starr Street — a Lovingly Maintained Two-Family Brick with Garage in the Heart of Ridgewood.
Positioned right on the Ridgewood–Bushwick border, this classic two-family brick home checks every box: private driveway, lush outdoor space, and a residence that has been cared for with genuine pride of ownership. Here you get the solidity of a true New York brick rowhouse alongside the rare bonus of a backyard garden that feels worlds away from the street.
The main residence welcomes you with a covered front porch before opening into a gracious living room with hardwood floors and crown molding. A dedicated dining room flows seamlessly through French doors into a sunlit casual dining space with possible office space — a thoughtful layout that balances everyday living with a quieter retreat. The kitchen is well-appointed with ample cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and dark countertops, and opens directly to the rear deck and garden. A half bathroom completes the entry level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms, the smallest of which is used as an office/laundry room offers flexibility for any lifestyle, and the back bedroom frames a rare, unobstructed Manhattan skyline view — a breathtaking backdrop that makes this address as inspiring as it is convenient. A full bathroom with jacuzzi tub and vessel sink, round out the upper floor in comfort and style.
The ground floor unit is a self-contained one-bedroom with an open-plan kitchen and living area, abundant closet space, and a cozy bedroom with French doors. Move-in ready for multi-generational and/or rental. It can represent a reliable source of additional income for the owner — one that can meaningfully offset carrying costs from day one and transform this property into a true live-and-earn investment.
A rear deck descends to a beautifully landscaped private patio complete with stone pavers, mature evergreens, flowering shrubs, and room for both dining and lounging. Both units have access to this garden retreat, making it a genuine extension of the home. The private driveway adds parking and storage convenience that is genuinely hard to come by in this part of Brooklyn.
