## Property Overview

Welcome to 235 79th Street, a beautiful legal three-family classic barrel front townhouse in the heart of Bay Ridge, offering five+-bedrooms, three-bathrooms, plus a large, finished basement with laundry and an abundance of storage space. While it is currently being used as an owner's upper duplex with a separate garden apartment, this home has three kitchens and three bathrooms. It can easily be used as an investment property or converted into a one family as an end user.

 This home is a mixture of old world charm with many original details and new modern marvels, such as the renovated kitchen and baths and central air conditioning and heating split systems on each floor.

 Enter the garden apartment through a private courtyard adorned with high hedges that provide the utmost privacy. Here you will find a central hallway with a staircase that leads to all floors. The garden apartment features an open concept living and dining, two bedrooms, renovated kitchen and bath and gives access to the deep and spacious backyard.

 The entrance to the second-floor apartment can easily be accessed through the internal staircase or from the outside front stoop. Upon entering, you will find an antique mirrored oak hall tree with bench. Pocket doors take you into the apartment where you will find stain glass windows, 10' tin ceilings, an amazing oak fretwork archway between the living and dining room, bedrooms, an office, and a gorgeous kitchen with French doors that open to an outside deck. A perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee.

 As you ascend to the top floor, the brilliant light from the skylighted hallway helps to lead the way. On this floor there are beautiful tin ceilings, a dining room with coffered ceiling and pocket doors that open to another room, perhaps it can be used as a study or library. The kitchen on this level has been updated with stainless steel appliances and has wonderful views.

 The expansive recreation room on the lower level features a utility area, laundry, heating room with two hot water tanks as well as a heating system plus plenty of room for storage. There is access to both backyard and front of the house from this level.

 this Sunday June 6 from 2-4pm.

## Sales Evidence

### How this price compares

The median closed price for comparable house sales in Bay Ridge is $1,493,000, based on 24 sales between November 2021 and August 2026. This home is asking $1,999,000, $506,000 above that median. The middle half of those sales closed between $1,343,750 and $1,833,750.

- **Median closed price**: $1,493,000
- **Middle half**: $1,343,750 – $1,833,750
- **Based on**: 24 house sales in Bay Ridge
- **Period**: November 2021 – August 2026
- **Median $/ft²**: $630/ft²

Across the 20 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.9% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask.

A house is not part of a building of comparable apartments, so this benchmark is drawn from house sales across Bay Ridge. Apartment sales are excluded from it entirely.

### How these sales were negotiated

- **Sold vs original ask**: 95.9% of the original ask
- **Closed below ask**: 75% of 20 sales
- **Listed → in contract**: 84 days (about 12 weeks)
- **In contract → closed**: 62 days (about 9 weeks)

Across the 20 of these sales with a published asking price, the median closed at 95.9% of what it originally asked. 75% of them closed below the original ask.

Half of these homes were in contract within 84 days (about 12 weeks) of coming to market, based on the 20 with a recorded listing date.

Once a deal was agreed, closing took a further 62 days (about 9 weeks), based on the 20 with both dates recorded.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Based on 24 house sales in Bay Ridge, November 2021 – August 2026. Each figure counts only the sales that recorded the dates it needs, which is why the denominators differ.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.

The City has not published the official FY2026/27 and FY2025/26 tax rates yet. We calculated the tax for those years using the prior year’s rate, so treat them as an estimate rather than a figure the City has adopted. Every rate without the Estimated marker is the published one.

Tax Assessment is the assessed value on the City’s roll, and it is the figure other listing sites publish. It is not what the bill is calculated on. New York phases assessment changes in gradually for some tax classes, so the City bills the Billable Value shown beside it, less any exemption the owner holds. It usually trails the assessment, and it can sit above it for a few years after an assessment falls.

Figures are the New York City Department of Finance assessment roll for tax lot 3059680070. Assessed and billable values are determined by the City for tax purposes and are not an appraisal or an estimate of market value. Tax classes and rates are set annually and can change.
