178 Battery Ave

A Bay Ridge Value-Add Opportunity: Deep Lot, R4B Zoning, and Room to Reimagine178 Battery Avenue offers a chance to see beyond the home’s current footprint. The existing two-bedroom, one-bathroom residence is reported at approximately 1,016 square feet, with building dimensions of 16 by 25 feet. It sits on a 2,713-square-foot lot measuring approximately 25 by 108.5 feet, leaving a deep rear yard with paved patio space and lawn.For buyers considering a renovation, the home offers several spaces to work with: a windowed living room with room for a full seating arrangement, an additional living or flex area, an eat-in kitchen with generous cabinetry, two bedrooms, a full bathroom with a tub and shower, and a separate laundry and utility room. A front porch adds a welcoming outdoor entry, while the property’s yard provides additional outdoor space to enjoy or reimagine.The memorandum reports R4B zoning, a residential FAR of 1.0, and a current FAR of approximately 0.37. R4B permits one- and two-family residences, so the lot and reported FAR make this a property for buyers to investigate for renovation, expansion, or a larger two-family configuration. A zoning professional and architect should determine what can be built; the reported FAR does not guarantee a specific addition or layout.Set near the start of a dead-end block in a quiet residential area, the property offers views of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and sunsets. Dyker Beach Park, Shore Road Park, Fort Hamilton, and Poly Prep Country Day School are nearby. Bay Ridge shopping, dining, transit, and a planned Trader Joe’s at Century Marketplace on 86th Street add to the location’s appeal.The home is currently occupied by its owner, and no rental income or rent roll is presented. Some rooms were tidied for the photos; boxes and personal belongings may appear in other images.Explore the possibilities at 178 Battery Avenue.
