Property Description for 258 Ovington Ave

Stunning from top to bottom, an effortless marriage of old-world elegance and chic, thoughtful design has come to life in the flawless restoration of this handsome twenty-foot-wide two-family Bay Ridge brownstone, situated on coveted Ovington Avenue. Up the stoop and through the vestibule with mosaic tiling is the airy, sun-splashed parlor level of the owner's duplex, graced with tall ceilings and classic turn-of-the-century accouterments. The entry foyer boasts original oak woodwork, a 10' high ceiling with original plaster crown, and designer light fixtures. A set of pocket doors leads to the large, graceful and serene living room with oversized bay windows and unique and original tin ceilings with a medallion. The living room flows seamlessly into the gracious formal dining room through fluted wood columns with foliate detail and an intricate decorative oak fretwork. There are original refinished blonde hardwood floors in the foyer and living room and fastidiously preserved woodwork throughout, along with fashionable, high-end lighting, adding a modern vision to this distinctive residence. Form and function unite in the elegant, state-of-the-art eat-in kitchen, separated from the dining room by pocket doors. A gastronome's delight, the kitchen boasts a bounty of bespoke cabinetry, timeless quartz countertops, a sleek Carrera marble backsplash, chevron patterned flooring, and a center island with an undermount sink with bronze hardware.

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 But most of the mansions that once lined Shore Road are long gone and have been replaced by six-story apartment buildings.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