Classic and Elegantly detailed 20' wide Limestone Townhouse on one of prettiest Tree lined streets in Bay Ridge.....This sundrenched, 1 family townhome features 3 bedrooms (which could be 4 again) and 2 1/2 baths and has been lovingly upgraded and maintained. From the moment you enter the foyer, you are struck by the warmth of this lovely home and it's period character. All of the original details have been perfectly preserved including parquet floors, wainscoting, window seats, skylights, French doors and of course, a dining room with an oak beamed ceiling, plate shelf and built-in china closets. This inviting home reflects the artistic sensibility of the owners at every turn and you can easily imagine yourself enjoying a glass of wine in front of the working gas fireplace on a cold winter's night. With it's extra long 40' footprint, the room proportions are oversized allowing for a grand master suite that has an adjoining dressing room ( which could be converted back to the 4th bedroom). The storage space is incredible and there are large closets everywhere. Although the original charm harkens back to the end of the 19th century when the home was built, the mechanicals are definitely '2013' and are all up to date and in excellent condition. You will love to entertain in this distinctive home especially in the warm weather. The large slate deck is perfect for a summer dinner party and the tranquil, south facing garden/patio has mature roses and just enough foliage to make it perfect for sun lovers and shade seekers alike. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with an incredible amount of cabinet space, granite countertops and thoughtful details like an extra deep Franke sink and a pot filler faucet. Next there is an English basement with recessed lighting a brand new bath, a washer dryer, and fantastic storage space that includes a well thought out grocery pantry. Finally, the location is perfectly situated with the subway just 3 short blocks away and all the shops, services, and terrific restaurants that Bay Ridge has to offer just around the corner. Don't miss this rare offering.....It won't last long!
