Property Description for 70 Washington Street, 9-J

Welcome home to wide-open loft living and stunning views in this flawless home in DUMBO's most coveted condominium building. Sun and air flow through this 1,217-square-foot showplace unimpeded thanks to wide west-facing windows, 11-foot-high beamed ceilings and gleaming bamboo floors. Stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge, Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty become your daily backdrop in the 565-square foot great room, while long artwalls stand ready to accommodate your own works of art. The modern, open chef's kitchen both chic and practical with an extra-long granite island, sleek Shaker cabinetry and top-notch appliances, including a wine refrigerator and dishwasher, by Bosch and Sub-Zero. An extra-large home office, suitable as an interior sleep space, is set near the luxe full bathroom where gleaming glass and ceramic tile surround an oversized soaking tub, separate frameless glass shower and handsome marble dual-sink vanity. Utility and storage are top-of-mind in this well planned home with five massive closets and an interior storage room, each equipped with double-height solid Birch wood doors, plus a large laundry/utility room with in-unit washer-dryer. Built in 1911, 70 Washington Street is an Industrial Neo-Classical building spanning the block between York and Front streets. The structure was once part of "Gairville," the numerous DUMBO buildings constructed for and acquired by Robert Gair, a major figure in DUMBO's industrial past. In 2005, 70 Washington was converted to luxury condominiums offering full-time doorman and concierge service, live-in superintendent, gym, package room and a gorgeous roof deck. Here, coveted DUMBO amenities — including fine dining, nightlife, shopping and boutique fitness centers — run alongside fantastic open space at Cadman Plaza and sprawling Brooklyn Bridge Park. Transportation to Manhattan is quick and excellent with F, A/C, R, 2/3 and 4/5 trains, plus ferry service at Fulton Ferry Landing, all nearby.

Dumbo | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

DUMBO, which is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, used to be a lively industrial and manufacturing zone, full of large factories and warehouses. These buildings have now been converted into expansive lofts, theaters, galleries, and office spaces for start-up companies. These larger residential spaces are attractive to families and creative artists and writers who need space to dream and create. 

DUMBO was named in 1978 as a sort of reverse marketing ploy to try to keep people from swarming into the area, attracted by the quaint tree-lined streets, elegant historic brownstones, large lofts, and views of Lower Manhattan. It was felt that this influx of people would change the nature of the neighborhood. It was hoped that by giving the area a ridiculous name, nobody would want to live there.

Many of the neighborhood’s bars, hotels, and restaurants capitalize on the stunning waterfront views and the Manhattan skyline in the background. Interesting and fun cultural events are held under and around the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges that connect DUMBO to Manhattan. One of these is the annual Oktoberfest.

With beautiful vignettes of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges being framed around every corner, DUMBO provides residents and tourists with charming, and often surprising, views. Because the neighborhood is eminently walkable and filled with unique shops, it feels like a small town on the edge of a major urban waterfront. Once people move to DUMBO, they tend to stay and become involved in the community.
