About This Home
As of June 2023Welcome to 178 81st Street - a beautiful 4BR/3.5bth semi-detached house with a garage and outdoor space in prime Bay Ridge! This sun-drenched home is located on a lovely tree-lined street, is in excellent condition and is filled with charming original details, including hardwood parquet floors, archways, and stained-glass windows.
The parlor level features a sunroom with a wall of windows, a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace and recessed lighting, and a formal dining room with a stained-glass window and plenty of space to host your next dinner party. There is also a powder room on this level for convenience. The highlight of this home is the fully renovated, eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher and microwave), stone countertops, subway tile backsplash, and center island complete with barstool seating. Sliding glass doors off the kitchen showcase excellent southern exposures and lead to the backyard, which has a deck, a retractable awning, and a pool and is perfect for entertaining. A side door off the kitchen leads to the extra-wide driveway and the private garage.
The second floor has a full bathroom with original stained glass and three bedrooms, including a primary bedroom that spans the width of the entire house. The second bedroom features a closet with ample storage space and the third bedroom is sunny and spacious with tree-top views and floor-to-ceiling closets. The third floor features a 4th bedroom with western exposures, another full bathroom, and expansive storage space. In the finished basement, you'll find a recreation/media room as well as an over-sized, walk-in storage room, which was excavated to maximize ceiling height. This level also houses the mechanicals and has a home office, pantry, 3/4 bath, and laundry room.
Additional features include parking for two cars, two-zone heating system, built-ins, Pella sliding glass doors, and updated electric & plumbing.
