$450K Bay Ridge co-op has a beach house vibe in a waterfront neighborhood

Located in the waterfront neighborhood of Bay Ridge, surrounded by parks, Verazzano Bridge views and a convenient ferry landing, this two-bedroom, two-bath co-op at 191 73rd Street is filled with laid-back, beachy details not often found in a city apartment. With plenty of light and space and recently renovated interiors, this 800-square-foot home is asking $450,000.

On the fourth floor of an elevator building, the two-bedroom unit is anchored by an open living and dining area. Adding personality and charm are exposed brick walls, custom built-ins, high ceilings, and original herringbone hardwood floors. Ceiling fans add a breeze to rooms framed by new windows and noise-dampening concrete subfloors (though we’re guessing you’ll have to provide window air-conditioning).

An artfully-designed kitchen has all the necessary elements including stainless steel appliances and a center prep and dining island constructed of rustic wood topped by stone. A colorful tile backsplash, glass-fronted cabinets and Edison lights add eye-catching contrast to natural materials.

In keeping with the rustic theme, a sliding barn door separates the kitchen from the primary bedroom. This charming chamber has a closet and an en-suite bath bath; in the ceiling, a fan is poised to provide a cool breeze from above. Down the hallway is a smaller bedroom with a built-in sleeping loft. A nearby second bathroom is accessible from the main living space.

Building amenities at this 455-unit pre-war co-op complex include two laundry rooms, storage facilities, parking, a live-in super, and a landscaped courtyard. Recent updates brought a new roof, boiler, and windows. The pet-friendly building allows subletting, (somewhat rare for a co-op).
