441 76th Street

FOUR bedrooms, THREE baths, and a large deck and back yard! You'll have room to spread out, work in separate spaces, and entertain outdoors. Original details abound in this pre-war brick townhouse. Gracious proportions and soaring ceilings set off wide moldings, beamed ceilings with medallions, and sliding pocket doors. Gorgeous hardwood floors feature red oak, mahogany, and maple borders, and the north-south orientation and sheer quantity of windows means phenomenal light throughout. A welcoming front porch features a wood-slat ceiling and a professionally-restored, century-old front door with stained glass detail, opening onto a mosaic-tiled entryway. Through an elegant foyer, you'll find on this level over-sized living and dining rooms, both with sunny bay windows, the first of three renovated bathrooms, with shower and tub, and a renovated eat-in kitchen with windowed dining nook, leading out to a large deck overlooking the back yard. Grill or relax on the deck, connected to the house via a glass door, and down from the deck to the garden below, where there is currently a bench to relax, and a private playground amongst the trees and gardens. The kitchen renovation includes new wall insulation, plenty of cabinets, under-cabinet lighting, quartz countertops, all stainless-steel appliances, and stainless backsplash tiles. Enjoy colorful sunrises from the roomy breakfast nook, or step out onto the deck to enjoy that coffee amongst the apple-tree branches. Upstairs, at the top of an elegant stairway, lit by a stained-glass skylight, there is another renovated full bathroom with it's own original skylight, and four bedrooms, all with excellent closet space, gorgeous hardwood floors, and wonderful light. On the lower level, there is space for a fifth bedroom, playroom, gym or office, plus a separate laundry room. With its own entrance and another full bathroom, this floor can even be used as an in-law or guest suite. A new roof was installed in 2019 as well as a large gas water heater. Located on one of the most desirable tree-lined blocks in central Bay Ridge, garden-to-garden with the landmarked Doctor?s Row, and just down the block from the subway (R train at 77th). Schools, parks, libraries, a phenomenal restaurant row, shore parkway, and the shopping convenience of 86th Street, are all within reach.
