Property Description for 235 79th Street
Welcome to 235 79th Street, a beautiful legal three-family classic barrel front townhouse in the heart of Bay Ridge, offering five+-bedrooms, three-bathrooms, plus a large, finished basement with laundry and an abundance of storage space. While it is currently being used as an owner's upper duplex with a separate garden apartment, this home has three kitchens and three bathrooms. It can easily be used as an investment property or converted into a one family as an end user.
This home is a mixture of old world charm with many original details and new modern marvels, such as the renovated kitchen and baths and central air conditioning and heating split systems on each floor.
Enter the garden apartment through a private courtyard adorned with high hedges that provide the utmost privacy. Here you will find a central hallway with a staircase that leads to all floors. The garden apartment features an open concept living and dining, two bedrooms, renovated kitchen and bath and gives access to the deep and spacious backyard.
The entrance to the second-floor apartment can easily be accessed through the internal staircase or from the outside front stoop. Upon entering, you will find an antique mirrored oak hall tree with bench. Pocket doors take you into the apartment where you will find stain glass windows, 10' tin ceilings, an amazing oak fretwork archway between the living and dining room, bedrooms, an office, and a gorgeous kitchen with French doors that open to an outside deck. A perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee.
As you ascend to the top floor, the brilliant light from the skylighted hallway helps to lead the way. On this floor there are beautiful tin ceilings, a dining room with coffered ceiling and pocket doors that open to another room, perhaps it can be used as a study or library. The kitchen on this level has been updated with stainless steel appliances and has wonderful views.
The expansive recreation room on the lower level features a utility area, laundry, heating room with two hot water tanks as well as a heating system plus plenty of room for storage. There is access to both backyard and front of the house from this level.
This exceptional property is available to see by appointment, or come by the open house - by appointment only-
this Sunday June 6 from 2-4pm.

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.
