Description

Welcome to 264 78th Street, a gorgeous limestone townhouse in prime Bay Ridge. Built in the Renaissance Revival style, this immaculate 3-bed, 2.5 bath beauty seamlessly blends original details with modern amenities, situated on a picturesque tree-lined block.

The curb appeal begins with its graceful barrel-fronted exterior and a classic Brooklyn stone stoop overlooking a charming garden with Japanese maple, perennial flowers and bird bath.

Enter the parlor level, where you'll find a spacious and bright living room with bay windows, beautiful mahogany parquet flooring with inlays, picture moldings and 9+ foot ceilings. This level includes a very useful powder room and entrance closet. Next, the dining room is an entertainer's dream with its beamed ceilings and natural flow to the open-concept kitchen. The recently renovated chef's kitchen boasts premium stainless steel appliances, generous counter space with white stone countertops, ample storage, vented range hood and a farmer's sink with gooseneck faucet.

The period details continue upstairs with 3 bedrooms, offering ample light from the 3 skylights. The primarysuite enjoys the romance of bay windows, crown molding and a ceiling medallion, adjoined by a walk-in closet installed with Elfa shelving. The tastefully renovated main bathroom has a classic clawfoot tub and Restoration Hardware cabinet and sconces, and an elegant pedestal sink. The remaining 2 bedrooms enjoy sunny views of the back garden. Above, a new roof was installed in 2018.

The fully finished lower level serves as a versatile space, ideal for a home entertainment/gaming room, guest area, home office, or gym. For added convenience, it includes a newly-renovated full bathroom and laundry room, with large capacitySamsung washer and dryer.

Outside at the back, an elevated paved patio is perfect for morning coffees or summer BBQs. It overlooks a tranquil back yard with brick pavers. The beautiful garden, featuring a convenient drip-irrigation system for low-maintenance care, is adorned with maple, dogwood, roses, irises, bluebells and other perennial flowers to enjoy throughout the seasons.

This home is conveniently situated 1.5 blocks to the 77th St R train station, and near express bus and commuter ferry stops, minutes away from the restaurants, shops and cafes along 3rd Avenue. Move-in ready, it epitomizes the best qualities of Brooklyn living - schedule your showing today!
