Bay Ridge: Fully-Detached Brick Colonial with Private Driveway and Garage

On a beautiful and bright, tree-lined street in Bay Ridge, this two-story colonial home blends historic integrity with modern renovation.

Enter into a vast, open-plan living and dining space, with room for a study or sitting area. The wrap-around windows overlooking the front garden create a light and airy feeling, as well as a sense of tranquility. Proceeding toward the rear of the home, find the kitchen, a half-bathroom, and an enclosed solarium, which could serve as an indoor greenhouse, reading room, or breakfast nook. From the solarium, descend the blue-stone stairs into the private yard, featuring a custom paved patio, petite lawn, adjacent driveway and detached garage. Outdoor water and electricity in the front and rear of the home provide added convenience and ease of access.

The upper level of the home was completely renovated to modern specs. The level features three bedrooms and a large bathroom, with custom fixtures, including a double vanity. The windowed basement of the home was converted into an en-suite recreation room and a utility space, allowing for additional living and storage. With 45 more years on the warranty, the recently-installed, heat-reflective, galvanized metal roof is energy efficient, and wind and fire resistant. The new, low-maintenance fence, industrial-size laundry units, and commercial-grade water heater are three highlights from the many upgrades made to this home.
