This renovated Bay Ridge
barrel-fronted limestone row
house built around 1900 has
details to spare — maybe too
many. The dining room has a
dizzying array of bracketed
wainscoting, coffered ceiling,
and built-in shelves.
Elsewhere, the combination
of stark white walls with
refi nished stained baseboards,
window trim, crown molding,
inlaid fl oors, and staircase
with round curtail steps and
carved bannisters is obsessively
consistent. A little color
or wallpaper — particularly
in the verticals in the dining
room wainscot — might tame
the stripes.
423 Bay Ridge Pkwy. (or
75th Street) is part of a row
in Bay Ridge known as “Doctors’
Row,” built between 1899
and 1910 by the Bay Ridge Development

sold for $6,500 each,
according to a 1907 ad in the

They aren’t landmarked,
but locals have been pushing
to designate the row a historic

meeting last June.
The multifaceted home is
confi gured with kitchen, living
room, and dining room on the
fi rst fl oor, with four bedrooms
above. A couple of quirks: The
kitchen is open to the foyer,
and the bedrooms share one
relatively small bathroom (not
shown in pictures). Nice features
include a good number of
closets, a rear as well as a front
entry foyer, and a decent-size
yard.
It’s worth noting that the
house is a mixed-use property
containing one residential
unit and one commercial unit
(a doctor’s offi ce in the English
basement), which means
mortgage terms and taxes are
likely to be less favorable than
for a strictly residential building.
The half-bathroom in the
basement is for the commercial
rental, which has its own
separate entrances.
Speaking of taxes, they are
$665, according to the listing,
from Dawn Silverstein of Brennan
Realty Services. The property
is asking $1.499 million.
