Property Description for 74 85th Street

Welcome to a beautifully renovated home in the heart of Bay Ridge, one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods. This classic yet modern house boasts hardwood floors, a custom fireplace, crown moldings, renovated bathrooms and kitchens, and ample outdoor space. With thoughtful upgrades like solar panels and split units, it offers both comfort and cost savings. Recent replacements include the roof in 2017, plus the boiler and water heater in 2019.

Currently zoned as a two-family home, a new owner has several great layout options: enjoy the entire property, create an upstairs-downstairs configuration for rental income, or convert the upstairs into three bedrooms for a spacious four-bedroom home. The home sits on a large 33 X 111 foot lot.

The layout is versatile, with east and west entrances. The first floor features wide doorways and large rooms, including a spacious living room, a study, and a kitchen with cherry cabinets, caesar stone countertops, and stainless steel appliances. A sunlit room with an en-suite bathroom and a conveniently located washer and dryer complete this level.`

Glass doors lead to a private wood deck with an automatic awning, providing a perfect outdoor retreat. The garden is a lush oasis, attracting birds and butterflies year-round with its vibrant flora.

The second floor offers an open-concept entertaining area, a spacious bedroom, kitchen, and a full bathroom. The bedroom offers open-sky views of Manhattan's Freedom Tower and custom-built closets. The basement is a versatile space, perfect for a family room, home theater, or home office. It also provides direct access to the garage and additional storage space.

This home is ideally located near dining, shops, parks, and public transportation, with abundant street parking available. Contact us today for a private tour of this meticulously maintained residence!

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.
