85 73rd St

Ideally located on a tranquil tree-lined street just one and a half block from Shore Road and near many parks and the bay, this architecturally unique, visually stunning and elegant two-story limestone is one of the more gracious homes of Bay Ridge and of a style that rarely comes available on the market. Fronted with an unusually expansive slated terrace, this impeccably kept 20 ft. wide and extra deep home has retained many original details and boasts high ceilings and sky lights throughout. The first floor with a formal entry is made up of a grand double-parlor living room graced with tall windows and a decorative fire place, a formal oak-paneled dining room with a stained glass ceiling, a kitchen and a half bathroom. It extends into a light-filled sun room in the back with sky lights, wrap-around windows and a gas fire place, and finally to a decked backyard with trees. The second floor has three bedrooms that are converted from four and can be easily changed back to the original four. The master bedroom has a working fireplace and the over-sized master bath had two sky lights, a bath tub and a separate shower stall. New master bathroom renovation. There is another half bath and a large hallway closet as well. The spacious finished basement offers ample space for storage and other use. This special home, perfect for entertaining and family life, is truly a must see.
