One-of-a-kind two-family home on leafy Linden Street in Ridgewood’s Fresh Pond–Traffic Avenue Historic District. This beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated residence sits on a unique corner lot that allows for windows on three sides, filling every room with natural light. The property features spacious interiors with a two-plus-bedroom layout on the parlor level and a three-plus-bedroom apartment on the second floor, offering flexibility and comfortable living across both units. Charming original details include stained glass pocket doors, door lights, and an entry transom, along with a skylight featuring Florentine glass that matches select interior door lights. The home also showcases roll-top clawfoot bathtubs, a telescoping window-door leading to a rear deck, and a dumbwaiter currently serving as built-in shelving. The original oak floors have been refinished in Bona Traffic HD extra matte finish. Modern updates complement the home’s vintage charm, including energy-efficient induction ranges in both units, light fixtures by RBW and Schoolhouse Electric, and a ceiling fan by Modern Fan Company. An exceptionally wide 22-foot basement with over seven-foot ceilings offers both interior and exterior egress and ample potential for storage, recreation, or a creative workspace. From the second-floor kitchen and rooftop, enjoy open views of the Manhattan skyline. A gracious three-season porch opens to a rare triangular side yard with Corten steel planters, creating a serene private outdoor escape. Perfectly located near Fresh Pond Road and the M train, this home provides easy access to all that Ridgewood offers, including neighborhood favorites like Rolo’s, Hellbender, and Il Gigante.
