Property Description for 6812 Vista Place

6812 Vista Place is home to a charming two story, single-family brick house with a shared driveway. Vista Place is one of those coveted Streets in Bay Ridge that is only one block long. It's a block where you know your neighbors and neighbors look out for one another. While this quiet tree-lined block feels like a urban oasis, you have all the city amenities within an eight block radius. The house has been meticulously maintained by the current owner's nearest & dearest for over 50 years.As you amble up the newly renovated stoop, you are welcomed in by a cheery enclosed porch/sun-room. The living room, dining room and kitchen are open to create a true living space, great for entertaining a small crowd. The recently renovated kitchen has plenty of counter space to please both amateur and professional chefs. With so many great restaurants willing to deliver, you never have to turn on the stove. As you stir your seafood chowder, you can see out onto the garden and garage. Downstairs is a fully finished basement, currently used as a personal gym, with a separate laundry room and bathroom. There are doors leading from both the basement and kitchen into the backyard area, making outdoor entertaining a breeze.Upstairs you will find a windowed bathroom and three spacious bedrooms. The middle bedroom, currently used as a meditation space, is both funky and serene. With three exposures, you can catch the sunshine in the house throughout the daylight hours. The windows have been recently upgraded to double-paned, keeping the heat in, and already minimal city sounds out. This cozy home is just a couple of blocks from the R train, and conveniently located with easy access to the NYC Ferry at the Bay Ridge Pier. Bay Ridge is a vibrant, multicultural community, just waiting for you to call it 'home'.

Bay Ridge | Brooklyn

Lush front yards and trimmed hedges are pretty common in Bay Ridge.

Quick Profile

Bay Ridge is an old-world neighborhood neatly tucked into the southwest corner of Brooklyn within the shadows of the Verrazano Bridge. The neighborhood is encircled by the Belt Parkway along the shore line and the Gowanus Expressway inland.

Bay Ridge, long known for its generational pull, has historically been home to a diverse number of ethnic groups. While the area is flush with people of Irish, Italian and Greek descent, these ethnic communities have been joined by larger numbers of new groups, including people with Russian, Polish, Asian and Middle Eastern backgrounds. The Arab American community today in Bay Ridge represents the largest concentration of Arab Americans in New York City.

For many years, Bay Ridge and its waterside location, would attract the affluent. But most of the mansions that once lined Shore Road are long gone and have been replaced by six-story apartment buildings.  

Aside from the low-rise apartment buildings, the neighborhood pretty much consists of one and two-family homes. Lush front yards and trimmed hedges are pretty common here.  

Current zoning and limitations on building heights restrict any out of the norm development. At present, the future beholds small development on some of the commercial strips and teardowns of older homes for smaller residential projects.
