Property Description for 8 Old Fulton Street, 1-W
Extremely rare opportunity to own a piece of history-- a stunning corner triplex loft housed in what was formerly the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, circa 1861. Located at the intersection of DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights, this magical oasis has seven 9’ windows facing both north and west, with unobstructed views of the Brooklyn Bridge and Fulton Ferry Landing at Pier 1. From sunrise to sunset, the light creates an ever changing canvas.
The 12’ 8” beamed ceilings on the main level give great flexibility to this nearly virgin loft. With three walls of exposed brick, the large living area has ample space for distinct living, dining and entertaining. Additionally, the flexible floorplan allows for both kitchen and bathroom expansion. Upstairs is the open mezzanine bedroom, closet and storage alcove. The downstairs is connected by a comfortable spiral staircase which leads to a finished windowed rec room. Finally, adjacent is an extra large storage room, accessed through the building’s common hallway.
Known for it’s famous red door, 8 Old Fulton Street is a landmarked Pre Civil War boutique coop with 10 units . Though the address is technically Brooklyn Heights, the feeling is all DUMBO. Located among DUMBO’s finest-- River Cafe, Empire Stores, St. Anne’s Warehouse, Brooklyn Bridge Park, Cecconi's, One Hotel…prime NYC, both old and new. Close to multiple subways and the increasingly versatile water taxi. Experience loft living at it’s best.

Quick Profile
Brooklyn Heights was Manhattan’s first suburb. The Brooklyn Bridge is a neighborhood draw, offering some of the most beautiful views of the Manhattan skyline, as well as an easily walkable means of commuting into the City. Montague Street has been the main commercial street in Brooklyn Heights since the 1800s, but it is not overly commercialized. Smaller shops help maintain the small neighborhood feel of Brooklyn Heights.
The quaint cobblestoned side streets highlight the historic feel to this lovely, vibrant neighborhood that is filled with exciting and innovative restaurants, stores that have those perfect home decor items, that little black dress you love, and your favorite dry cleaner is right around the corner. Brooklyn Heights is your perfect city within the City.
There are apartments, condos, and co-ops that resulted from the conversion of pre-war residential hotels. The townhouses in Brooklyn Heights are often five stories, instead of the three stories found elsewhere. You’ll also find row houses and stunning single family mansions. Due to the three protected historic districts, opportunities for new construction are limited, and the appearance of the neighborhood seems frozen in the era when these buildings were originally constructed.
Renowned public and private schools make the neighborhood attractive to young families with school-age children. The neighborhood is generally “kid-friendly,” with parks, playgrounds, and quiet streets where kids can still play safely.
