About this House
This stately four-bedroom, three-bathroom Georgian Colonial offers the spacious refined of a fine country manor with glorious private outdoor space that begs to entertain, all just two blocks from Bay Ridge's Shore Road waterfront. Spanning 2,850 square feet, this flawless home greets you with a classic center-hall layout, where you'll discover gleaming hardwood and stone tile floors, ornate crown moldings and exceptional natural light. To the left, the oversized living room invites you to relax and unwind in front of a massive bay window, while the adjacent dining room provides an elegant flow for entertaining. To the right of the entry, the family room is sure to become a favorite gathering space with another bay window and a grand wood-burning fireplace. Chefs will fall in love with the gorgeous kitchen where lovely granite counters top abundant custom cabinetry and a large island/breakfast bar. The state-of-the-art Viking stainless steel appliance package includes a vented six-burner range, double wall ovens, refrigerator and dishwasher. Enjoy seamless indoor-outdoor living with French doors open to your ultra-private outdoor oasis featuring a sparkling in-ground heated pool with an electric pool cover surrounded by a handsome bluestone patio.
On the second floor, the serene owner's suite beckons with windows on two exposures, a huge walk-in closet and a breathtaking en suite spa bathroom featuring floor-to-ceiling stone tile and a spectacular benched rain shower with body and handheld sprayers. Three extra-large secondary bedrooms share an oversized full bathroom equipped with a jetted bathtub and separate shower. The beautifully finished lower level offers two expansive rec room areas to cater to your exact needs. You'll have plenty of space to create a playroom, media room, home gym, office, bar or all of the above. Two huge storage rooms, a full bathroom and a laundry room complete this well-planned level. This expansive 52-foot by 92-foot corner lot includes a gated driveway. Lush landscaping and wall of hedges and brick add total privacy and magnetic curb appeal to this move-in ready Bay Ridge residence. Located directly across from the Fort Hamilton Athletic Field and playground, this home is also close to outstanding dining and shopping along 3rd Avenue. Breathtaking waterfront outdoor space and bridge views are just two blocks away. Excellent bus service, the R train, Bay Ridge Ferry Terminal, Belt Parkway, Gowanus Expressway and Verrazano-Narrows Bridge provide easy access to the rest of the city and beyond.
