Description

You are going to love this gorgeous two-bedroom co-op, located on the third floor of a lovely elevator building in the heart of Bay Ridge. This apartment has been exquisitely renovated and it's a sunny, cheery home from the minute you walk through the front door. Modern touches mix beautifully with the Pre-War details which include spacious rooms, original hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, and French doors. The beautifully designed chef's kitchen is equipped with all Kitchenaid stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and the dual entryways make for great entertaining. The custom-designed bathroom is equally stunning with marble walls and flooring and all high-end fixtures. Both bedrooms are grand-sized and can easily accommodate a king-sized bed and furniture.

The building's amenities include a live-in super and on-site laundry and bike rooms. It's also pet friendly (dogs up to 25 lbs. are welcomed.) Additionally, a large storage unit transfers over with the sale of this apartment.

255 79th Street is conveniently located: The "R" train, B4 and B37 buses are close by, and there's also the ferry at the 69th Street pier if you'd rather commute by water. Also right nearby on bustling Third Avenue are the many great restaurants, cafes, and shops. You couldn't ask for a better location!
