1709 Starr Street, Ridgewood, NY 11385

Welcome to 1709 Starr Street — a Lovingly Maintained Two-Family Brick with Garage in the Heart of Ridgewood. Positioned right on the Ridgewood–Bushwick border, this classic two-family brick home checks every box: private driveway, lush outdoor space, and a residence that has been cared for with genuine pride of ownership. Here you get the solidity of a true New York brick rowhouse alongside the rare bonus of a backyard garden that feels worlds away from the street. The main residence welcomes you with a covered front porch before opening into a gracious living room with hardwood floors and crown molding. A dedicated dining room flows seamlessly through French doors into a sunlit casual dining space with possible office space — a thoughtful layout that balances everyday living with a quieter retreat. The kitchen is well-appointed with ample cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and dark countertops, and opens directly to the rear deck and garden. A half bathroom completes the entry level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms, the smallest of which is used as an office/laundry room offers flexibility for any lifestyle, and the back bedroom frames a rare, unobstructed Manhattan skyline view — a breathtaking backdrop that makes this address as inspiring as it is convenient. A full bathroom with jacuzzi tub and vessel sink, round out the upper floor in comfort and style. The ground floor unit is a self-contained one-bedroom with an open-plan kitchen and living area, abundant closet space, and a cozy bedroom with French doors. Move-in ready for multi-generational and/or rental. It can represent a reliable source of additional income for the owner — one that can meaningfully offset carrying costs from day one and transform this property into a true live-and-earn investment. A rear deck descends to a beautifully landscaped private patio complete with stone pavers, mature evergreens, flowering shrubs, and room for both dining and lounging. Both top and bottom units have access to this garden retreat, making it a genuine extension of the home. The private driveway adds parking and storage convenience that is genuinely hard to come by in this part of Brooklyn.
