Description

Redefining luxury in Bay Ridge, this stunning barrel-front limestone is unlike any home you will find in the heart of quintessential Brooklyn. This single family townhouse has been thoughtfully reconstructed and designed with character throughout. The beautiful facade makes a striking front on the blocks tree lined street with unique details that await just beyond the beautifully restored entry doors. Gleaming herringbone patterned hardwood floors greet you on the parlor floor just beyond the custom mahogany doors. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, Smeg Range, expansive soapstone-island, counter space and oversized windows throughout with the garden serving as its backdrop. The expansive parlor floor features a light-filled living room, dining area, eat-in kitchen with garden access and powder room. Every detail of this stunning renovation was designed to modernize the interior while maintaining the original charm. Up one floor off of the original wooden staircase features the sun-drenched second level with 3 additional bedrooms featuring 10 foot ceilings plus two full baths. Custom skylights - one over the staircase and the second in the full bath flood this level with natural light. The main bedroom is the perfect respite at the end of a long day with a large walk in closet and beautiful en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom also accommodates a king-sized bed and the third a queen. The garden level is light-filled with oversized windows in the front and rear and features 8.5 foot ceilings and is complete with a 3/4 bath. Additional features of the home include bespoke doors and hardware and central a/c & heating throughout. This splendid townhouse is set on one of the most picturesque blocks in all of Bay Ridge steps from the R at Bay Ridge Ave Station and 3rd Avenue featuring shops, restaurants and cafes galore and walking distance to the 69th Street pier and the ferry. Luxury living and quintessential Bay Ridge living collide in this immaculately designed and executed townhouse.
