Property Description for 143 87th Street

As featured in Brooklyn Family’s April Edition, 143 87th Street is a semi-detached, 4-story single family with a garden, patio, and GARAGE on a beautiful residential block in Bay Ridge. The south-facing sun room welcomes you into the living room graced with a side window flanked by built-ins and a bench for additional storage and seating. Archways between the rooms and arched windows in the formal dining room add architectural charm, while maintaining an open flow for light and air from multiple exposures. Enjoy cooking in the cheery kitchen that features a skylight and window overlooking the garden. The island separating the dining room from the kitchen creates additional seating in an open concept plan that’s perfect for entertaining. A half bath is also conveniently accessible from this floor. From the living room, the stairs lead up to three bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom facing the front of the house and a windowed full bath with skylight facing the rear. Up one more flight is a finished attic with hardwood floors and pitched ceilings high enough to comfortably use as an additional room for whatever your needs may be. There is also a finished windowed basement with laundry room and a separate storage room. With a reputation for having the charm and friendliness of a small town, while still being accessible to big city amenities and resources, it’s no wonder Bay Ridge has recently welcomed transplants from all over Brooklyn and NYC. 143 87th Street is convenient to the subway, express bus, top-rated restaurants, charming shops, an array of specialty markets and grocery stores, well-regarded schools, playgrounds, and an abundance of waterfront parks and outdoor recreation, including cycling, fishing or running along the promenade, tennis, basketball, baseball, soccer, and more! *Additional photos of the attic, third bedroom, and basement available upon request and a video tour is coming soon.

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.
