Property Description for 8701 Shore Road, 610

Reduced price -- same great views! This beautiful and unique apartment is perched on the top floor of a coveted pre-war elevator building situated along the waterfront and it has possibly the best views from a one bedroom on Shore Road! There are gorgeous views of the harbor from every window and, with western exposure, it gets terrific light. Watch the cruise ships pass, the seasons change, and enjoy spectacular sunsets. This apartment has a wonderful blend of old world charm and modern amenities. There are high ceilings, original arched doorways and wood floors, as well as custom lighting and fixtures throughout. All the rooms are dramatically proportioned and offer a flexible use of space. A large foyer is currently used as an office but could also make an ideal dining nook. The windowed eat-in kitchen has plenty of cabinets and counter space. The updated bathroom has both a tub and separate shower. Both the living room and bedroom are spacious, and the bedroom has a total of four windows! Building amenities include a beautifully landscaped front garden, newly renovated art deco lobbies, laundry, bicycle and air conditioner storage rooms. There's also private storage space at a nominal cost. A live-in superintendent and two full-time porters keep the building in immaculate shape. It's pet friendly, too - dogs up to 40lbs. are welcome at 8701 Shore Road. And the location can't be beat: the express buses stop directly in front of the building, the "R" train is a short distance away, and the new ferry service at the 69th Street Pier is a great commuting option. The promenade right across the street is great for all kinds of activities and you're just a short distance to the many great restaurants and shopping on Third Avenue. This is truly a one-of-a-kind apartment and bound to sell quickly!

Fort Hamilton | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Fort Hamilton has the unique distinction of being both a military base and a neighborhood in Brooklyn. Well, technically it’s a sub-neighborhood of Bay Ridge.

Named after founding father Alexander Hamilton, the neighborhood sits in the southwestern corner of Brooklyn and it’s about a square mile in size (give or take). Its boundaries are 86th Street to the north, Belt Parkway and Fort Hamilton military installation to the south, 7th Avenue to the east, and Shore Road to the west.

The area was originally inhabited by the Canarsie Indians and later settled by the Dutch in 1620. A few decades later, thanks to land grants from Governor Peter Stuyvesant, Cornelius Van Werckhoven from the Netherlands purchased what is now Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton for a very small amount of money.

The area remained an isolated stretch of rural land until the electric trolley line was introduced to Brooklyn in 1892. The trolley connected various points of Brooklyn and Fort Hamilton soon flourished. .

Fort Hamilton and Bay Ridge experienced waves of immigration and just like other areas of New York City it became a true melting pot. Irish and Italians immigrants made their way to the neighborhood in the early part of the 20th century followed by Syrian and Lebanese immigrants in the 1950s. More recently, Asian and Arab-Americans call Fort Hamilton home.

Modern-day Fort Hamilton may not have the cool factor that other Brooklyn neighborhoods flaunt but there are many trade-offs. It offers tree-lined streets and friendly neighbors. Most residents will tell you it has a small-town feel with the added perk of affordable housing. Fort Hamilton’s proximity to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and access to Manhattan-bound trains make it a very commutable neighborhood.
