House of the Day: 7701 Ridge Boulevard
Lately we’ve been getting our jollies by playing detective to crack the listing addresses that brokers don’t want consumers to know. Sometimes there are good reasons for not disclosing an address (a particularly private seller, for example) but usually there’s some kind of protectionism or listing-stealing going on.

Lately we’ve been getting our jollies by playing detective to crack the listing addresses that brokers don’t want consumers to know. Sometimes there are good reasons for not disclosing an address (a particularly private seller, for example) but usually there’s some kind of protectionism or listing-stealing going on. Not sure what the case is with today’s House of the Day, but it took us a good seven or eight minutes using google maps and property shark to determine that this rambling Victorian posted on Craigslist is actually located at 7701 Ridge Boulevard at the corner of 77th Street. Located on a ginormous 75-by-100-foot lot, the 3,500-square-foot house needs TLC but has got plenty of charm. If we had the $1,795,000 to buy this place, we’d start by losing that first-floor brick addition. What do the Bay Ridgies in the crowd think about this price? Feels expensive to us.

I just saw this house (at night) and the place looked amazing but now that I saw it during the day … well … my mind has changed 🙂 I was considering renting it for my family! I am so glad I goodled it today as I found out about the leaks and the oil spill! Thanks to all!
btw – yes, Bay Ridge does have some beautiful over 1mm homes 🙂 this one is just not worth it.
This place is 100 different prices…Every broker lists it for something different…Its worth about 1.3…needs to be completely gutted. These brokers are desperate to get a sale to actually make some money. This will never sell for this price.
The house also had a heating oil leak that seeped into the side yard. I think zoning changes prevent Mr. Khalial a speculator cannot build condos at the location. There are a number of nice homes with good details under $1M within a block of it.
Anyone know why the price for this is now 1.995? This is very strange how the seller would raise the price 200K.
TONS of houses in Bay Ridge are over 1M!!! Its hard to find a house that is under $700K.
plenty 1MM+ homes in bay ridge….many are amazing….
To add to my 9:07 post, Ridge Blvd. has some really nice homes, it’s just some blocks are better than others in terms of whether there are still mostly houses on a block or apartment buildings.
The big houses with the best addresses do sell for a few million in Bay Ridge, 1:30. They just seldom come on the market. But yeah, large townhouses, co-ops and condos in Manhattan, or estates in the Hamptons or Dutchess County would be the most expensive residences in NY State. Bay Ridge has nothing priced close to the aforementioned. Also, the most expensive, high end houses in Bay Ridge are the ones on or near Shore Road on blocks that are only single-family homes. Not on Ridge Blvd with its mix of rental apartment buildings and multi-family houses.
Wouldn’t Manhattan or the Hamptons be home to the most expensive single-family homes? Doubt much goes for over a million in Bay Ridge, but I could easily be mistaken.
