Open House Picks

Let’s take wagers on the 10th Street House
I think it will go into contract in approx. 3 months for $550-$625K
Thoughts?

Okay, since I’m the ‘unofficial’ spokesperson for Bay Ridge on this site. I’ll just say: The entire area of Bay Ridge proper (sorry, we don’t have Bay Ridge North or a Bay Ridge South, or a Center Ridge or Center Bay – we’re simple folk here) is not all ‘bucolic’. There is vast housing stock in Bay Ridge. There are many blocks of free standing houses, some quite large (and beautiful) on large properties (2 to a block, even one or two houses that take up the entire street). There are also semi-attached, attached and apt. buildings.

The houses vary from Detached Victorians, to this sites most’ prized’ attached brownstones. Yes, we have streets and streets of brownstones also; while I believe there might be more limestones than brownstones in this area; to bricks, and unfortunately Fedders. There are also apartment buildings. It’s mix here.
Below 3rd Avenue and between the high 70’s to low 90’s is rich with the great homes like this one….many many freestanding gems.

I’m not going to lie, the commute is a pain. By train: 45 minutes to mid-town. I prefer the express bus which sucks $5 from me every time I ride it, but it’s comfy, I always get a seat and I can work on my laptop uninterrupted.

There’s lots of shopping and restaurants galore.

Not sure about price. But there are multi million $ homes in this area. I would think a little under 2M is more like it for this house.

I’m not tooting this neighborhood, because honestly, I don’t know how much longer I’ll be here. But it’s not as bad as people make it out to be.

If anyone wants a tour, let me know. Will be happy to show you the great houses of the area.

I lived in Jersey City off of Grove Street for 2 years and LOVED IT. I lived in a gorgeous rental 1BR apt in a 4 floor Brownstone on Wayne Street for $1000 a month. The Nabe had a good cafe, great bagel store and a clean well-stocked boedga on my corner(which is enough for me). At the time (we are talking about 7 years ago) the Brownston next door was going for $750K and it was unreal inside – they had done a gut reno – 2 family on a tree lined street and as THL mentioned that Path Ride wasn’t too bad at all. However I did own a car so it made it easy going grocery shopping or riding over to Bed,Bath and Beyond
I miss it!

DUFTO. Brilliant!
