427 76th Street

Located on one of the most desirable, tree-lined blocks in Bay Ridge, this lovely renovated row house with an abundance of pre-war charm is a must see! This gem's original details include parquet with inlay border and hardwood floors throughout; high ceilings; impeccable decorative woodwork (ceiling, window and floor molding); wainscoting; stained glass; and built-ins.

An inviting front porch provides an ideal entry to the foyer and expansive South-facing living room -- large enough to accommodate an additional reading area or office space --with a working wood-burning fireplace as its centerpiece. Double French doors open to a full dining room with an oversized window that has stained-glass inserts and original shutters as well as a walk-in closet that could potentially be converted to a powder room.

The eat-in sized kitchen has classic white cabinets and high-end stainless appliances including a Wolf stove and leads to a rear deck and backyard with pavers ringed by perennial flowers and plantings -- just in time for long sunshine-filled days.

The bright and airy upper level has a master bedroom spanning the width of the house and treetop views; a fully-renovated bathroom with modern subway tiles and its own skylight; two additional bedrooms with ample closet space; stained glass skylight; and a private terrace perched above the quiet backyard. The semi-finished basement also has a new full bath and vented laundry area as well as an abundance of dry storage space.

The home's utilities are in good working order and additional renovations/upgrades include: recently installed hot water heater; waterproofed extension; repointing; new lintels; among others. With an exceptionally convenient location, it is only 1/2 block from the nearest subway, and minutes to a wealth of local shops, restaurants, waterfront parks and promenade, and commuter ferry.
