Boasting a generous amount of living space this legal 2 family home is being used as a 1-family and is currently configured as such.

This gem in the heart of bustling Bay Ridge has gorgeous hardwood floors, high ceilings, stained glass skylight, and upgrades throughout. Completely renovated in 2014, no expense was spared. The house boasts all new electrical, new plumbing, and new windows, with a newly coated roof and central air with two zones. With multiple bedroom options, ample closet space, a custom dressing room off the primary, and a full bath on both the parlor and upper floors as well as a half bath on the garden level, this stunning home allows for multiple layout options. The generous size of the home works wonderfully as a single unit but for those looking for some rental income, it still has the capability to be turned back into its former configuration with all pipes, and mechanicals intact. The garden level – which has private street access as well as access to the rear yard (with added glass door to bring in more natural sunlight) is currently being used as an artist's studio, as well as a workshop. With good ceiling height, tucked-away laundry area, ample storage, and powder room for your convenience, this large open space has endless possibilities. The finished basement gets natural light from both exposures and has custom sliding doors that provide clean lines while housing abundant storage options. A Zen oasis in the front yard for peaceful tea-sipping as well as a well-designed backyard with a lovely deck and seating area just off the kitchen. An intimate lower yard offers something for everyone. Custom-built child's swing (that can stay or go), as well as dreamy raised beds with an irrigation system and thoughtful landscaping. By appointment and by open house. Reach out to the exclusive listing agent to schedule your visit to see this exceptional home today.
