9707 4Th Ave

A mid-20th-century, six-story cooperative located in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, built in 1957 and organized primarily as one- and two-bedroom residences. The masonry-faced block presents a traditional urban scale with an elevator and an attended lobby; lived-in common areas have been recently refreshed. Individual units emphasize classic features: high ceilings, hardwood floors, large windows in every room, generous closets and formal dining or eat-in kitchen layouts including windowed kitchens and pass-throughs. Shared resources include a landscaped courtyard and garden, multiple laundry rooms on the lobby level, bicycle storage and additional tenant storage rooms. Building services provision a part-time doorman (daytime into late evening), a full-time porter and a live-in superintendent; indoor garage parking is available on a waitlist. The co-op maintains pet-friendly policies with approval for small dogs and allows subletting after a holding period subject to board rules. Location amenities are strong: it sits close to the Shore Road promenade and parks, neighborhood shopping and restaurants along 3rd and 4th Avenues, nearby bus lines and the R train within a block or two, and straightforward access to the Verrazzano Bridge and Belt Parkway. Overall the property blends mid-century construction with ongoing updates to common areas and practical, service-oriented building management.
