Built in 1928, this six-story prewar cooperative in Bay Ridge presents classic masonry architecture and an Art Deco–inspired lobby. The elevator-served building contains predominantly one-bedroom residences with high ceilings, hardwood floors, crown molding, and original details such as solid wood doors and ornamental fireplaces in some units. Individual apartments commonly feature eat-in kitchens with pantry storage, windowed bathrooms with soaking tubs, generous closets and foyer/gallery entries that separate living and sleeping areas. Shared spaces include a landscaped courtyard and garden that provide outdoor respite, a staffed lobby with a live-in superintendent, a laundry room, bicycle storage and private storage lockers available for an additional fee. The co-op permits small pets (typically dogs up to 40 pounds, board approval required) and maintains rules allowing limited subletting after a residency period. Situated on a tree-lined block near Shore Road and Owl’s Head Parks, the building offers straightforward access to the R train, express buses, ferry service and nearby shopping and dining on 3rd and 4th Avenues, making it practical for commuters and residents seeking neighborhood conveniences within a calm, residential setting.
