Listing Notes
Nestled on an expansive 60x125 sun-filled lot in the heart of Bay Ridge, this is a rare two-family residence that blends Mediterranean charm with modern luxury. A private driveway, two-car garage, and gated entry welcome you to a home rich in character, where arched hallways, soaring ceilings, Venetian finishes, custom hardwood inlays, and exposed imported Essex brick walls create a timeless ambiance. The main duplex offers a sunlit sitting room, elegant formal living room with wood-burning fireplace, grand dining room, and a chef's kitchen with Thermador appliances, a center island, and breakfast nook that flows seamlessly to the landscaped garden oasis-complete with a pergola-covered outdoor kitchen, patio, and private balcony. The top-floor rental unit provides additional income with two bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and bath, while the fully finished basement adds versatile living space with a family room, rec room, office, accessory kitchen, and multiple storage rooms. Enhanced with split-system HVAC, Jacuzzi tubs, and modern conveniences throughout, this residence is both a luxurious sanctuary and a smart investment, offering the perfect balance of comfort, elegance, and lifestyle just steps from Shore Road and the New York Bay.
