A six-story midcentury co-op in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn built in 1950, the property offers primarily one- and two-bedroom residences across a modest elevator-served walkup. Façade and massing are typical of the era: restrained masonry with a modest lobby that has been remodeled. Interiors vary from original layouts to fully renovated units; common interior elements reported across homes include open-plan living and dining areas, galley or eat-in kitchens with islands or breakfast bars, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and abundant closet/storage niches. Some apartments feature first-floor bedrooms and full baths or windowed kitchens and baths. Shared building conveniences include a laundry room, bike room, rentable storage, building-wide storage areas, and a live-in superintendent. Exterior provisions are practical rather than ornamental: private outdoor spaces under 60 square feet in some units, a garage (waitlist), and on-site parking options. The co-op operates with pet-friendly rules and a liberal sublet policy after a period, plus typical coop governance. Located two to three blocks from Shore Road Park and the waterfront promenade, the building sits within walking distance of Third Avenue shopping, diverse restaurants, multiple transit options (R train, express buses, NYC Ferry access nearby), and neighborhood schools, supporting a balanced, suburban-in-the-city lifestyle in southern Brooklyn.
