Elegantly Updated Townhouse With Original Details in Premium Bay Ridge Location

Situated in a highly desirable area of Bay Ridge and on one of the best tree-lined residential blocks in the neighborhood, this unique two-family townhouse—currently utilized as a single-family residence—seamlessly blends a contemporary renovation with exquisite original details. A rare find this home boasts 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a highly functional in-law suite. Stepping through the inviting front porch into the parlor, you'll be enveloped in an ambiance of heritage and a distinct charm that few homes possess today. The elegant foyer boasts a finely carved trumeau mirror with beveled edges, setting the tone for the rest of the home. The sunlit south-facing living room and the stately dining area,  both with close to 10-foot ceilings, welcome you further in. The living room, rich in character, showcases intricate details such as wooden shutters, decorative wall sconces, beautifully patterned herringbone floors, glass-fronted built-in cabinets, and classic ceiling moldings. Venturing deeper into the home, you'll land at one of the best eat-in kitchens in Bay Ridge with custom Henrybuilt cabinets, Caeserstone countertops and backsplash, and a suite of top-of-the-line appliances including a 6-burner Thermador gas stove, double door French refrigerator, and dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen, an outdoor patio sets the stage for alfresco dining, connecting to an expansive open garden that has been repaved, re-fenced, and relandscaped by the current owners to bring it up to the quality of the rest of the home. Making your way upstairs you’ll find four sun-drenched bedrooms, two that can easily serve as primary rooms, and all adorned with serene treetop vistas, further illuminated by two skylights. One of these skylights brightens a spacious bathroom, which is equipped with both a shower and a deep soaking tub. Adding to the home's allure is a sunlit two-story extension at the rear, featuring a rift-cut oak wood staircase that descends to a meticulously excavated lower basement level. The expansive basement spanning 30’ x 17’, is currently configured as an in-law suite, but can be easily converted to a large home office, fitness area, or recreational room, and houses essential mechanicals, a full bathroom, a dedicated laundry area with side by side newly replaced full-size washer & dryer, and additional storage. Characteristic elements like original hardwood floors, high ceilings, oversized bay windows, and intricate woodwork—including pier mirrors, banisters, French and pocket doors, stained glass cabinets, coffered ceilings, moldings, and shutters—enrich the home's interior. If that’s not enough, the home has recently installed split system AC units throughout the home, updated mechanicals including a new boiler system, and a kitchenette in the basement. Situated on one of the most desirable blocks in Bay Ridge, 435 76th Street is just half a block from the nearest subway and affords the luxury of proximity to an array of shops, dining options, and parks, making it equally ideal for commuting or comfortable at-home work environments. Destination restaurants including Tanoreen and Gino’s, local fresh markets, and public transportation including the new express ferry which takes you to Wall Street in just 20 minutes are all nearby.
