255 79th Street is a prewar elevator co-op in the heart of Bay Ridge. A midsize building of 72 homes across six stories, it has real prewar character and is run as a well kept, professionally managed co-op. With an elevator and a full time live in superintendent and no doorman, it offers prewar charm with the convenience of an elevator, at carrying costs that tend to run lower than a comparable full service doorman building.
The building is overseen day to day by a live in superintendent rather than a doorman. Residents have the use of an on site bike room and a card operated laundry room. 255 79th Street does not have its own parking or garage, which is typical for a prewar co-op of this era in Bay Ridge, so residents rely on street parking and nearby paid options. Monthly maintenance covers heat, hot water, and real estate taxes. The building is pet friendly and welcomes small dogs and cats, with some size restrictions.
The location puts the best of Bay Ridge close by. The shops, restaurants, and cafes of Third Avenue are a few blocks away, and the Shore Road promenade and the waterfront parks are nearby. The R train and the 95th Street station are a short distance away, the express bus to Manhattan runs nearby, and seasonal ferry service from Shore Road and 69th Street connects you to Manhattan and other parts of the city. Soldano Realty has represented a sale at 255 79th Street and knows the building firsthand, so we can speak directly to how homes here live and what they sell for.
