Located within the Stockholm Street Historic District in artsy, laid-back Ridgewood, this charming light brick home at 1867 Stockholm Street seems almost like a steal at $1,595,000. Though it rises only two stories high, the two-unit property has a fully-finished lower level and a lovely landscaped backyard. Inside, the home has been updated by an artist owner with an eye for simple and chic design.
At 20 feet wide, the compact townhouse allows for gracious rooms and in-between spaces. Up the steps and past the front porch, the parlor-level unit offers three bedrooms (or two bedrooms and a huge dressing room), a full bath, and backyard access.
The kitchen features custom-designed walnut cabinetry and poured zinc countertops. In the back, bluestone pavers offer plenty of private space for entertaining, surrounded by greenery.
The primary bedroom enjoys a set of bay windows and design flourishes that optimize its unconventional geometry. A smaller room can function as an office or massive closet.
The finished basement below is a flexible space with plenty of options for this unit. Poured concrete floors keep it clean and modern. Highlights include a wet bar, a laundry room, a bathroom, and lots of storage space.
On the home’s top floor, a railroad-style apartment features four flexible rooms. Original details here echo those on the lower floor, including a carved wood mantel, pocket doors, exposed brick, and decorative moldings. The flooring and the bathroom have been recently updated.
Additional upgrades include a tankless water heater and a new roof. Stockholm Street is notable for being the only brick-paved street in Queens, and the welcoming front porches of its 36 landmarked yellow brick homes give the street a unique and welcoming charm in the heart of a burgeoning and diverse neighborhood.
