2A in contract
Welcome home to Catalpa House, where a quiet, tree-lined Ridgewood block offers a calmer side of New York City.
Residence 2A is a 923-square-foot, full-floor home with a truly one-of-a-kind layout, thoughtfully designed to bring light, openness, and privacy together.
At the center of the home, a nearly 24-foot-long great room creates a natural flow between living, dining, and kitchen spaces. Oversized Pella windows draw natural light into the room, making it an inviting place to start the day, gather with friends, or settle in at night.
The chef's kitchen pairs custom European solid hardwood cabinetry and Calacatta Miraggio Cove stone surfaces with fully paneled premium appliances, including a Blomberg refrigerator, Bertazzoni range with externally vented hood, and Bosch dishwasher. Beside it, a dedicated banquette dining area features built-in seating and integrated storage-a comfortable spot for everyday meals and lingering conversations.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout places both bedrooms apart from the main living area. The primary bedroom accommodates a king-sized bed and offers generous closet space; the second bedroom can serve as a guest room, nursery, or home office. Two Porcelanosa bathrooms feature floating vanities, floating toilets, and sleek glass-enclosed showers.
Wide-plank California white oak engineered flooring, Mitsubishi central air conditioning, superior sound insulation, ButterflyMX smart access, and fully vented in-unit laundry bring comfort and convenience to everyday living.
Catalpa House is moments from neighborhood favorites including Rolo's, Hellbender, Il Gigante, Pierogi Boys, Ridgewood Coffee Company, and Variety Coffee. The M train at Fresh Pond Road and Forest Avenue, along with nearby L train connections, makes getting around the city easy.
StreetEasy named Ridgewood its #1 NYC Neighborhood to Watch in both 2024 and 2025.

Quick Profile
Unique for being a symbolic and literal bridge between Brooklyn and Queens, Ridgewood incorporates both distinct elements of these boroughs into its persona. Originally considered part of Brooklyn, the neighborhood broke off with Bushwick in the 1700s at a point called, appropriately, Arbitration Rock. When the blackout of 1977 occurred, the residents of Ridgewood only further wanted to dissociate themselves from their Bushwick neighbors as the bedlam that ensued in between the looting and the riots made them feel just a tad superior.
And yet, just because its zip code changed didn’t mean Ridgewood could ever fully break free from its proximity and entwined identity with Bushwick. Pegged as the next “it” destination and hipster haven to move to circa 2016, Ridgewood has surprised many with its steady pace of growth, therefore well-maintained “neighborhood” feel.
Rife with quiet blocks filled with quaint, colorful buildings, Ridgewood offers the bodegas and local businesses one also expects of “old world” Brooklyn. An increase in the number of coffee shops, bars and DIY venues have continued its natural association with Bushwick, however, the deeper into the neighborhood you go, the more apparent it becomes that Ridgewood is very much its own very Queensian thing.
