7101 Colonial Rd

A six-story prewar cooperative built in 1928, this Bay Ridge elevator building contains 21 one-bedroom residences spread across classic masonry floors. Architectural cues include high ceilings, original mahogany doors and crown moldings in many units, while recent renovations in several apartments introduce quartz or Caesarstone counters, stainless appliances and refinished hardwood floors. Common areas emphasize traditional character: an ornamental lobby, a planted courtyard and garden spaces provide outdoor respite; a live-in superintendent manages day-to-day building needs. Shared facilities include a laundry room, bike storage room, private storage lockers and a secure elevator. The property operates with cooperative governance and generally low monthly maintenance; pet rules commonly allow dogs up to 40 pounds with subletting permitted under board policies after residency requirements. Located on a tree-lined Bay Ridge block, the building sits within a short walk of Shore Road and Owl’s Head Parks, waterfront paths, local shopping and multiple transit options including the R train, express buses and nearby ferry access.
