About This Property
Flexible 3-Bedroom Living: Currently Configured as a Spacious 2-Bedroom with an Oversized Primary Suite
Bay Ridge Entertainer's Dream with Private Deck, Pool & Finished Lower Level
Welcome to 131 87th Street, a well-maintained semi-attached home in the heart of Bay Ridge offering exceptional space, natural light, and an outdoor setup that truly sets it apart. A thoughtful layout across three levels of living space features hardwood parquet flooring throughout and two-zone central heating and air conditioning
The main level features an expansive open-concept living and dining area stretching over 30 feet, highlighted by oversized windows that fill the space with light. The layout offers flexibility for both everyday living and effortless entertaining.Toward the rear of the home, a bright eat-in kitchen provides ample space and functionality, with direct access to your elevated outdoor retreat.
Step outside to a private deck designed for entertaining, complete with a dining area and BBQ. Just beyond, a dedicated pool area creates your own personal escape, offering a rare blend of relaxation and lifestyle right at home.
Upstairs, you'll find generously sized bedrooms, including an oversized primary suite created from the home's original three-bedroom layout, offering exceptional comfort and flexibility rarely found in Bay Ridge. Buyers seeking additional bedrooms will appreciate the ability to restore the original configuration if desired. The second bedroom also features private outdoor access - a unique feature perfect for morning coffee, reading, or a quiet retreat separate from the main yard.
The fully finished lower level with separate private entrance adds significant versatility, featuring a large den, home office / gym area, full bathroom, and laundry - ideal for guests, extended living, work-from-home needs, or additional recreational space.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined block in one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods, this home offers convenient access to shopping, dining, parks, and transportation.
A rare opportunity to own a home that combines indoor space with true outdoor living in Bay Ridge.
Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Corcoran Group.
A private deck runs off the eat-in kitchen, and the listing counts more than 60 square feet of private outdoor space. It has a dining area and a BBQ, so it works as an extension of the kitchen when the weather is good.
Beyond the deck, the listing describes a dedicated pool area, which gives the back of the home a second place to sit. The second bedroom has its own outdoor access too, so you can step out for a quiet morning without crossing the main yard.
The main level has an open living and dining area that runs more than 30 feet, with oversized windows. Parquet flooring runs through the home, and it has two-zone central heating and air conditioning. I like how the open plan makes the main level feel connected, though cooking and relaxing share the same room.
Upstairs, the primary suite is oversized, and it was created from the home's original three bedroom layout. If you want the third bedroom back, the listing says it can be restored.
The finished lower level has its own private entrance, a den, a home office or gym area, a full bathroom, and laundry. There's also a washer and dryer in the unit.
The 86 St station on the R is about 10 minutes away on foot. Shore Park and Parkway, 58 acres, is about 7 minutes away, and Taza Produce and Foodtown are about 6 and 9 minutes away.
