Welcome to 8701 Shore Road #131, a spacious one bedroom co-op with a bonus room in Bay Ridge — a first floor home in a prewar building known for its art deco lobbies and beautifully landscaped entrance. Reached without stairs or an elevator, Residence 131 lives large, with impeccable parquet hardwood floors, high ceilings, generous closet space, and the kind of prewar charm that is hard to find. Archways frame the entrances to the living room, foyer, and bedroom.
The standout is the kitchen: a generous 22 foot space that works as an eat in kitchen or doubles as a bonus room or nursery. The king sized main bedroom faces east for strong morning light, with the oversized proportions typical of prewar layouts. Storage is exceptional, with four large closets throughout, including a walk in. At roughly $738 per month, the maintenance is notably low for an apartment of this size.
8701 Shore Road is a pet friendly prewar co-op with a live in superintendent, a bike room, secured lobbies, storage rooms, two laundry rooms, and a new package room on the way. The location puts the NYC ferry, the 86th Street shopping strip, and Bay Ridge’s restaurants nearby, with the R train a few blocks away and the NYC express bus stopping right at the building.
Soldano Realty represented the seller in this sale, which closed in November 2024.

About Bay Ridge
Bay Ridge sits at the southwestern edge of Brooklyn, a waterfront neighborhood known for its quieter pace, strong sense of community, and sweeping views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and New York Harbor. The area is anchored by Shore Road, where a landscaped promenade runs alongside the water and connects to the Belt Parkway greenway popular with walkers and cyclists. Third Avenue and Fifth Avenue form the commercial spine, lined with family-owned restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and shops that give the neighborhood its boutique, residential character. Housing is largely prewar co-ops and condos, along with townhouses and detached homes on the tree-lined side streets. Transportation is convenient: the R train runs along Fourth Avenue, and express bus service offers a direct ride into Manhattan. Bay Ridge is well regarded for its schools, houses of worship, and green spaces, including Owl's Head Park and the shoreline parks. With its mix of waterfront scenery, established residential streets, and an active local main-street economy, Bay Ridge remains one of Brooklyn's most sought-after neighborhoods for buyers looking for space, value, and a genuine neighborhood feel within the city.

My siblings and I recently sold our late father‘s apartment with the help of Danny and it couldn’t have been a better experience for us.
Throughout the entire process, Danny kept us up-to-date with what was going on as far as how many appointments he had to show the apartment, the open houses he was hosting, and any other information. That really gave us all peace of mind to know that he was working hard for us and that he genuinely cared about helping us find the right buyers for our father‘s home.
My Siblings and I highly recommend Danny to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the beautiful neighborhood of Bay Ridge Brooklyn.
