Welcome home to this charming, expansive apartment on the first floor of the most picturesque detached house in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. The apartment has everything: two large bedrooms, one of which could be used as a living space, a huge windowed kitchen, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, fresh paint, and bountiful storage, lovingly wrapped by more windows than one can count. All of that is topped off by one of the most beautiful porches imaginable overlooking a gorgeous front yard, and there is a back stairway that makes the abundant backyard available as well. The kitchen has a farmer's sink, cabinet and counter space galore, as well as a vented stove. The master bedroom is large enough to house not only the biggest bed and furniture imaginable but a home office as well. The other bedroom is as large as any you will find in any new condo. The living space that separates them could be adapted into a formal dining room if only one bedroom is needed. Concerned about transportation to Manhattan? The subway is two blocks away with a connection to express trains in just two stops, making the center of Manhattan accessible in 30 minutes. Right around the corner stretches 5th Avenue, full of every necessary amenity (hello Jean Danet Pastry Shop and Dunkin Donuts), and the neighborhood has another great stretch of shops and restaurants along 3rd Avenue. A short hike takes one to the Ferry, which may be the best way to travel in all of NYC. Head in the other direction and enjoy McKinley Park, home to Readings in the Park, a free performing arts series for youth, and Arts in the Park, a free reading series for kids, or wind your way to Owl's Head Park to enjoy greenery plus a view of the bay. This apartment is truly a home within a home, just waiting for you.
