5 Cyrus Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11229

Serene Waterview Retreat in the Heart of Brooklyn Tucked away on a quiet, dead end street, this sun filled, fully detached one family ranch offers peaceful living, picturesque water views, and room to grow—all while keeping you connected to the best of New York City. Step into a bright living room that flows seamlessly into a cozy dinette, both facing the water and drenched in natural light. The dining room features a large picture window framing unforgettable sunsets that feel as though you’re living inside a painting. The kitchen and bathroom were renovated less than a year ago with beautiful tilework and stylish, high quality finishes. Beneath the home is bonus space that’s perfect for storage or transforming into a shaded outdoor oasis. Add string lights, tropical plants, and lounge seating to create a breezy hideaway; ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or hosting unforgettable summer soirées. Imagine waking up, sipping your coffee, and heading out for a kayak or jet ski ride—all before starting your workday. The sunny lawn is perfect for morning yoga, weekend workouts, picnics, or simply soaking in the sun with a good book. Dine in the shade beneath the house or set up a table on the lawn to BBQ and enjoy the breeze and open sky. Gardeners will love the outdoor space and patio/balcony area. The soil was substantially upgraded less than a year ago and is in excellent condition to support whatever you envision—whether it’s a rose garden, a butterfly flower meadow, or fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and trees. Forgot something from the supermarket? Imagine stepping outside or reaching out the window to pluck fresh ingredients straight from your garden for a salad or burger toppings. The yard and patio are a blank canvas for planting, lounging, and entertaining. Just a couple minutes walk to a private community beach that also hosts events year round, this home delivers full on summer vibes—without ever leaving Brooklyn. Whether you're into kayaking, jet skiing, or simply enjoying the coastal breeze, the lifestyle here feels like a weekend retreat. The neighborhood offers unlimited options for rollerblading, bike rides, or leisurely, scenic strolls; with beautiful routes and nearby parks perfect for staying active and enjoying the outdoors. Not in the mood to stay in? Explore the vibrant restaurant and nightlife scenes (family friendly spots included) on Gerritsen and Emmons Avenue, where waterfront views and global cuisines let you satisfy any craving, just minutes from home. It’s a perfect fit as a starter home, a downsizing option, or a low maintenance city escape for anyone craving that breezy beach town feel with all the conveniences of NYC living. There's also attic space above for additional storage, and zoning allows for future expansion if desired. Street parking is easy, with no alternate side rules or meters, and Cyrus Avenue is one of very few wide streets in the neighborhood. Nearby, you'll find Marine Park, soccer and baseball fields, and free pickup pickleball games just minutes away. Commuting is a breeze with access to the express bus, B31, and nearby subway lines. Whether you're starting out, scaling back, or searching for your own NYC waterside beach retreat, this home is ready for you. Call 917-960-7384 to schedule your private tour.
