About this House

This single-family fully detached home is a sweet COUNTRY COTTAGE in the heart of Bay Ridge BROOKLYN! Here is a unique opportunity to own your own house for less than the cost of a condo. Enter the property through a storybook arbor into the front garden resplendent with flowers, trees and climbing vines, framed by a white picket fence. The enclosed breezeway/entry hall leads into the main living spaces on the first floor. In front is a spacious living room and across the hall a modern chef's kitchen with adjacent butler's pantry. The kitchen opens onto the dining room, with a built-in office/work space and a bank of windows facing the gorgeous rear garden. There is direct access from the dining area onto a raised patio, which leads down to the huge private back yard. This unique outdoor space offers sought-after privacy right in the city, and comes complete with sitting areas, tremendous mature trees, and a lush green lawn. A spacious and bright bathroom completes this level.

Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms, a home office/nursery and another windowed full bath. Other features include hardwood floors throughout, abundant natural lights, and split A/C units on the main floor. There is also a basement with full-height ceilings that has loads of upside potential to create a rec room, play room, or nice work-from-home space.

With wondrous front and rear gardens and a true "country cottage" feel inside, you'll never want to leave town. This charming house is so special, you've got to walk the property to truly appreciate it.
