districts in Ridgewood was recently
sold for $2.65 million.
Th e property, which is a six-family
home, is located at 59-23 Woodbine
St. and is directly across the street
from Ridgewood’s Central Historic
District, which ends on the south side
of Woodbine Street. It is also relatively
close to the Ridgewood North Historic
District.
Although the outside of the building
remains intact, the entire building was
recently gut renovated and has separate
boiler and hot water tanks for each of its
six units. Th ere’s also a common laundry
area with a gym/recreational space
on the lower level.
The approximately 4,772-squarefoot
property is one of Ridgewood’s
many “Mathews Flats” apartment houses
which were built in the early 20th
century by architect Gustave Mathews
as an alternative to the cramped tenement
style apartments of Manhattan.
Th e neighboring Ridgewood North historic
district includes more than 90 of
these buildings, preserving the exterior
of the golden brickfaced structures.
It’s located within walking distance of
I.S. 93 as well as the Ridgewood public
library and the Forest Avenue M train
station. Th e portion of the M line running
through Ridgewood is currently
out of service due to repairs, but shuttle
train service will be restored to the line
in September.
Th e six units in the building are
expected to bring in an estimated
$193,524 in annual rent for the new
owner, according to Greiner-Maltz
Investment Properties, which handled
the deal.
