Description

243 78th Street (the Fairfax House) is a well-managed, well-kept, co-op building in the heart of Bay Ridge. The building features an elevator, on-site laundry, bicycle storage, and rentable storage units, as well as a live-in super.

Residence #6A is a bright, top-floor unit with unobstructed natural light and views over the leafy treetops of Bay Ridge. The studio home is presented in excellent condition with a renovated kitchen and bathroom. The pre-war design offers a generously spacious floor plan with a large foyer, oversized studio room, and a separate eat-in kitchen.

Just off 3rd Avenue, 243 78th Street places residents on the doorstep of great restaurants and shopping options. The 77th Street Subway Station places the R-Train only one block away, and other transport options (like the B4 and B37 buses and NYC Ferry Network) are nearby.

The chance to own in a well-established, pre-war building is an outstanding opportunity to build equity and live comfortably in a market with rising rents and shoe-box new construction. The investment of home ownership is an investment in you, and here is a chance to make a strong one. Do not delay in scheduling your tour!
