671 SUSSEX BLVD - SOLD!
The Essentials
A very stylish three-bedroom Bayridge side-split with attached garage, wonderful garden and deck, both wood and gas fireplaces, an eat-in kitchen, and a Manhattan disco in the basement.
The Bigger Picture
671 Sussex Blvd is just about the most casually stylish three-bedroom, two-bathroom Bayridge sidesplit imaginable. I’ve got to admit it took me by surprise. I live downtown and have my biases, But you add any other snazzy detail to this place and you’re on a film set.
The basement, for instance, comes across like a private room in a Manhattan club (Unfortunately, the couch isn’t staying). Most Friday nights a long time ago, I swear Lou Reed lounged down there with Andy Warhol.
So you’re buying a landmark, but also a smart, bright home in Bayridge South, close to parks and schools and shopping, Lemoines Point, and even the golf course.
There is a proper living room where you’ll just marvel at the Hoover-Dam-like curve of that mid-century front window, and also a sunken family room with a wood-burning fireplace.
There is a formal dining room with sliding doors out to a splendid deck overlooking the huge private garden, but also an eat-in kitchen kitted out with a lime-cushioned booth for Pizza Night.
There are lots of hardwood floors and good ironwork and mid-century doors, as well as an attached single garage.
Intensely cool, it also feels custom-built to me; the distilled result of careful planning and a keen eye.
