Bay Ridge McMansion
Returning from our refinancing closing a couple of weeks ago, we drove down Ridge Boulevard in Bay Ridge for a few blocks. There were some very charming houses we saw. This one at the corner of 86th Street was not one of them.

Precisely DH. How is it that a busted, run-down, lumpy-like-krasdale-brand-oatmeal brownstone can become HOTD with oohs and ahhs about it’s potential and alleged hidden beauty and a well kept, well manicured property like this is poked at? WTF?
the house that the diner built
Seriously, what is all the windowless space on the ground level for?
The vibe this place gives me is more ‘lair’ than ‘home’. Like a fortress or a bunker.
I love Bay Ridge in general, though.
Its a crazy house no doubt – when it was constructed it looked like it had like 3 layers of basement…that being said – is it really nice B-stoner to drive by someones house and then publicly call it ugly…..
I also think it’s good example of modern construction. Obviously on the large size, but I like the design.
That is obviously not the front of the house so give them a break!
Seriously Snappy – this person is probably a decent neighbor. Sure, the house is a little ‘out-there’ but at least they keep it well maintained. Can’t say the same for all owners of brownstones.
The New Jersey office of Toll Brothers is on the other line. They want their house back.
for new construction it looks great from the picture.
Now in person maybe another story.
