In addition to two bedrooms, the first floor features a formal dining room living room with high ceilings, new hardwood floors, three closets and a pretty front porch. The eat-in-kitchen has been tastefully designed with quartz counters, decorative tile back splash and stainless-steel appliances. The new bathroom has a marble topped vanity and gorgeous mosaic floor tile that extends into the walk-in shower. The second floor has a similar layout to the first, but boasts an additional bedroom that leads out to a large front balcony. Charming original oak trim, banisters and flooring can be found in the entrance hallway and second floor, as well as high ceilings and decorative fireplaces.The lower level has been gut renovated, which both extends the owners living space and offers extra space for visiting guests who have the luxury of their own private entrance. There is a large recreation room with high ceilings and two double closets for storage, an office or extra bedroom, separate pantry, dining area and a bathroom. The south-facing backyard has a patio for outdoor dining and fabulous tiered gardens that give a soft, colorful border to the property.

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 But most of the mansions that once lined Shore Road are long gone and have been replaced by six-story apartment buildings.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.
