This handsome twenty-foot-wide two-family Bay Ridge brownstone welcomes you up a graceful stoop into an airy, sun-splashed parlor level of the owner's duplex, which is graced with tall ceilings and classic turn-of-the-century accouterments. Original inlaid parquet and hardwood floors and lovely details merge with contemporary flair within this distinctive home. A designer light fixture in the entry foyer draws you towards the adjacent living room, which showcases oversize bay windows, moldings and built-ins, and flows into an interior family room flanked with sconces. An enormous, windowed eat-in-kitchen is enhanced by a decorative mantle, breakfast bar and stainless steel appliances, including a Viking range. A door leads out to the deckoffering a perfect spot to linger over a morning cup of coffee or an afternoon cocktailwith steps leading down to a serene, south-facing landscaped garden. A chic bathroom rounds out this level. A stained glass skylight crowns the top of the staircase on the upper floor of the duplex where there are two large bedrooms, a den, a nursery (or additional space to work from home), a windowed laundry room and a full bath. The king-size bedroom has bay front casement windows and the rear bedroom overlooks the verdant garden below. The bathroom has been tastefully designed with a stained glass window and clawfoot tub.

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 But most of the mansions that once lined Shore Road are long gone and have been replaced by six-story apartment buildings.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