627 72ND Street #11

This charming one-bedroom duplex with loft, located just two flights up in a boutique-sized building, overlooks historic Stewart Avenue, one of the oldest roads in Bay Ridge. Bright and airy with an open layout, high vaulted ceilings, and fantastic closet space, this apartment boasts not one, but two, balconies! And, with both southern and eastern exposures, it is flooded with natural light throughout the day. On the first floor you will find the kitchen (with enough room for a small table and chairs), living room, bathroom, and bedroom with access to your first balcony, great for relaxing and enjoying your morning cup of coffee. From there, a spiral staircase leads to your bonus space - a large loft area with many possibilities. Imagine a second bedroom, a media room, den or office, each allowing you to step out and enjoy sky and rooftop views from your second balcony. In the basement you will find a designated storage unit (no fee), space for bicycles (no fee) and a common laundry room. There is also private outdoor parking behind the property (wait list). This self-managed/self-maintained building is close to the many great restaurants and shops on Fifth Avenue including Gino's, Skinflints, Jean Danet Pastry Shop, as well as the recently renovated Alpine movie theater. It is also conveniently located for commuting: the R train and B63, B4, B9 and B64 buses are close by, and the NYC ferry service at the 69th Street Pier is also a great commuting option, whether for work or pleasure. With a little TLC, this as-is apartment, offering over 800 sf of interior and 80 sf of exterior space, is a true must-see with endless possibilities. Note: Kitty cats are welcome but, sorry, no dogs.
