Freestanding home in Bay Ridge with many of its historic details intact asks $2.15M

It’s hard to deny the stateliness of this three-story freestanding home at 8525 Colonial Road in Bay Ridge. It’s located on a 52-by-78-foot corner lot with both a front and back yard. (The large lot also boasts a two-car garage.) Inside, charming details abound, like a wood-burning fireplace and built-in window seat. For this four-bedroom, four-bathroom home, it’ll cost a cool $2.15 million.

You enter the home and are greeted with a cozy living room, which centers around the wood-burning fireplace. The bright, open space also boasts massive windows and the home’s original moldings and hardwood floors.

The formal dining room also packs in the charm with its own window seat that spans the length of the wall. From here, light essentially pours through two walls of windows.

The wood-ceilinged kitchen was renovated with new appliances and decor. There’s a new marble island as well as decorative tiles hand-painted and imported from Italy. From the kitchen you can easily access the backyard, a perfect design to throw backyard parties.

Four large bedrooms and two bathrooms are located on the upper floors. The master has its own ensuite bathroom with a double sink, glass enclosed shower and soaking tub.

The basement was decked out as a media room, as well as a guest suite with its own bathroom.

Here’s the expansive backyard, which sits right outside the kitchen. Front yard, back yard, garage and three stories of living space? This is suburban living in the city at its finest.
