547 72ND Street #NA Brooklyn, NY 11209

Welcome to this two-family home on a beautiful quiet tree-lined block in the heart of Bay Ridge. Originally built in 1910 this property measures 20 feet by 50 feet on a lot of 20 by 117 feet and has charming bay windows and a large court yard in front. The backyard includes an inviting covered porch and extra-deep yard, good for gardening. The well-maintained house consists of six rooms on the top floor and five rooms on the main floor. A fully finished above-grade basement (with legal 3/4 bathroom), laundry room, and utility room is connected to the main floor apt. The mechanicals are in very good condition with many updates in the last few years, including new gas lines, new stoves, new refrigerators, and water heater. All gas and electric are up to code and lead-tested. One enters the front door into a foyer with many original wood details such as carved wood decorations, bevelled glass, and a pocket door. The main floor apartment has been renovated and features an open kitchen with solid butcher block, matching cabinets, and working fireplace. The covered porch off the kitchen functions like an extra room, perfect for outside dining and watching the many birds in the trees behind the house. The renovated bathroom features a skylight. The top floor is spacious and full of light with an extra bedroom and beautiful original wood floors throughout. It preserves the original layout with a separate kitchen that can accommodate an eating area as well. It can be used as a rental unit immediately, and help pay the bills! The house is half a block from Fifth Avenue, a trendy and bustling street with tons of shops and restaurants, and many parks nearby. The elementary school is half a block away. Buses along Fifth Ave connect you with other parts of Brooklyn and a five minute walk brings you to the subway (R) and a half hour from Manhattan.
