Be the one with the cool place in Bay Ridge with this $3M townhouse

Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, is a diverse residential waterfront neighborhood, where you’ll find ornate urban mansions, townhouses, apartment buildings, and longtime residents in addition to plenty of newcomers. The townhouse at 7807 Ridge Boulevard has historic charm as well as urban cool, with a blue-gray facade and modern interiors courtesy of a 2014 renovation by design studio Workstead. Asking $2,995,000, this semi-detached multifamily residence offers 3,600 square feet of interior living space on four stories, front and rear porches, a big backyard, and a private driveway. The three-family home with lots of income potential can easily be converted to a rambling single-family residence.

The 2,100-square-foot owner’s duplex is a showcase of Workstead’s earliest custom work. Twenty-first-century ease of living meets modern simplicity for an aesthetic that’s part Brooklyn loft, part classic townhouse. Design details include high ceilings, limewashed brick, decorative fireplaces, custom millwork, and polished concrete floors.

Three exposures mean sunlight all day long. Smart home capabilities and central cooling and heating step in to complement nature.

Set between an airy living room and a cozy family room, a stylish open kitchen features nickel worktops and a stainless-steel farm sink. Appliances include a GE Monogram refrigerator and gas range, a Thermador hood vent, and a wine fridge.

A nine-foot-tall glass garage door opens from the family room to create a dramatic transition to the landscaped back yard, complete with an outdoor kitchen. Pavers, grass, and plantings offer opportunities for dining, lounging, and gardening.

Downstairs at the home’s lowest level, the primary suite offers a private entrance via a sliding glass door. A luxurious bath has a double vanity, a deep soaking tub, and a steam shower.

Accessible from a shared entrance off the front porch, the home’s second and third floors are ready to be used as two separate units or combined with the duplex below. Each has a renovated kitchen with a dishwasher, new flooring, and a luxurious modern tiled bathroom.

The home is just as attractive from the outside. A slate-blue facade with dark navy accents gives a hint of the unique modern design within.
