About This Property
Ridgewood Two-Family, Offered for the First Time in Over 40 Years
For the first time in more than four decades, 75-63 61st Street is available. This classic brick two-family home sits on one of Ridgewood’s quiet, tree-lined blocks, and it’s ready for its next chapter.
A brick stoop and handsome wood entry doors lead into a home with great bones and lots of character. Inside you’ll find hardwood floors, bright bay windows that fill the rooms with natural light, wainscoting, built-in shelving and the original wood staircase. The railroad-style layout gives you generous living and dining rooms, and the rooms are well proportioned throughout.
This is a true bring-your-architect opportunity, with flexibility to match your vision. You can keep it as a two-family, living in one unit while the other brings in rental income. Or you can turn it into a spacious single-family home with room to grow. Our virtually staged photos give you a glimpse of what’s possible.
Out back, a private yard with mature greenery is waiting to become your own garden retreat, perfect for summer dinners, entertaining or a quiet morning coffee.
The location is hard to beat. The home sits on a peaceful residential block close to Ridgewood’s shops, cafés and restaurants, and just steps from the new Whole Foods coming to the neighborhood.
Opportunities like this rarely come to market in Ridgewood. The home is offered in as-is condition. Bring your imagination and make it yours!

Agent's Note
From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Compass.
Hardwood floors run through the house, and bay windows let in plenty of daylight.
Wainscoting, built-in shelving and the original wood staircase are already here, so you start with character in place. The house is offered as is, so the first walkthrough is about what you'd change, not what's missing.
The living and dining rooms are generous, and the rooms are well proportioned throughout. Pre-war houses like this tend to suit buyers who want defined rooms and original detail, though the condition and layout of this particular house matter more than its age.
The layout leaves you two routes.
One is to keep the upper and lower units as separate homes and rent one of them out. The other is to combine everything into a single-family house with four bedrooms and space to grow, which gives a growing household room to spread out in one place.
Out back, the private yard has mature greenery. A private garden is a meaningful outdoor space in the city, and how much you get out of it depends on upkeep, so the existing plantings are a real head start for summer dinners or a quiet morning coffee.
Evergreen Park is about 3 minutes away on foot and covers 3.32 acres. For everyday errands, Daisy's Deli & Grocery is about 2 minutes away, and Fresh & Save, Biedronka and 99 cents are each about 7 to 8 minutes on foot.
