Electrified Brooklyn Townhouse
Most townhouse listings describe what buyers can plainly see in the photos. This listing will describe what you can’t see in the photos – and what you can’t see is what makes this new home a better value than any other townhouse in Bay Ridge.
If you are looking for modern design, quality architecture and engineering, and advanced building science, then this townhouse is the only property that will meet those requirements in the neighborhood. As the developer of this home, we’d welcome the opportunity to show you around the house and explain why this property is so different.
Our buyers are architects, engineers, interior designers, or anyone who wants a significantly better built home. But what differentiates our award-winning build quality is not the deep soaking tubs, the stone countertops, or the exposed brick -- although this townhouse does offer those features. What makes this house different is what’s behind the walls, it’s what’s under the roof, and it’s what’s under the new concrete and steel. It’s not flashy, but this is what thoughtful, high-end construction is all about.
This house was gutted to the beams and brick, and fully rebuilt inside and out with an all-electric, super energy-efficient configuration approaching German Passive House standards. This gives you a quiet, comfortable house that’s good for the environment. No natural gas is needed to run the house, simplifying your life and saving money on utility bills.
This level of construction is rare. It also provides rare benefits to the homeowner that will last for years. Everything has been done on this house – everything you can see and everything you can’t. There will be no surprise repairs for a very long time.
We invite you to ask real estate agents about the level of construction performed on other townhouses. Some beautiful townhouses have sold for high prices in Bay Ridge in the last year. But very little work was done on their infrastructure, building envelope, energy efficiency, concrete and masonry, plumbing, HVAC, central heat / AC, etc. Those townhouses checked the boxes on cosmetics, but very few boxes on what’s behind the walls.
Our construction plans are filed with the NYC Dept. of Buildings by licensed architects and engineers, and approved, permitted and signed off in compliance with NYC building codes. When looking at other homes, ask if they used licensed professionals, and ask if they are in compliance with NYC’s Dept. of Buildings.
Upon request, we’ll be happy to share a detailed construction summary of our new townhouse. If you’re interested in making changes large or small to this townhouse, as the developer, we are uniquely qualified to perform any work you’d need to create your dream home. Just ask. We can send you renderings on alternate configurations. And we’re always here for our customers – we stand behind all our work.
Please tell us if you’re pre-approved or pre-qualified for a mortgage. Showings and open houses are by appointment. Covid restrictions, social distancing and masking will apply.
We can’t wait to show you around! When one of our homes is right for you, you’ll know right away!
