Property Description for 31 Washington Street, 5

Rarely available industrial loft space in a former box factory is for sale in Dumbo, and there is absolutely nothing comparable on the market. Currently configured as a 2 bed with a home office and 2 baths, this massive space is the epitome of rustic modern, featuring original wood beams throughout, 12.5 ceilings, honey pine floors, a flexible layout, and a startling eleven oversized windows facing West to bring in light all day long. If a one-of-kind loft condo with extremely low monthly common charges and a J51 tax abatement is what you have been looking for, then look no further. The current owners partnered with local Brooklyn architects to transform this huge volume of space into an architecturally exciting home with an eye towards form and function. A truly masterful chefs kitchen includes floor-to-ceiling custom laser-etched Corian cabinetry with a Wolf 6-burner range, French door fridge, and loads of Caesarstone countertop space. The kitchen flows gracefully into the massive living and dining room space, artfully hiding your cooking while allowing the flow of conversation and light. The living space features a custom built-in media center cleverly designed to conceal electronics when not in use. The front of the loft features a home office space and two small bedrooms that can easily be transformed into one large sunny bedroom. The home office includes a built-in pull-out queen size bed perfect for guests and can be turned into a bedroom suite by just closing the oversized door, or leave it open and extend the living space for daily use. The large airy master suite is awash with light and includes an enormous walk-in closet with custom built-ins and your very own washer and dryer. Two cinematic bathrooms combine glass tile and chandelier lighting; a guest bath with a deep soaking tub and shower, and a master with double sinks and double rain head showerheads. The extra high ceilings have been cleverly utilized throughout for custom storage including a built-in home office, amazing closet space, and even a special nook for storing multiple bikes. Situated on a historic Dumbo cobblestone street just down the street from Brooklyn Bridge Park, amazing local restaurants and shops, two subway lines and the ferry service to NYC, the drama of this home flows from the street right up into the authentic freight elevator, and through your front door. You cannot beat the low monthly cost of this authentic and well-maintained building with truly no rival; one subway stop to Manhattan, and the best parks, views, and amenities, right outside your door.

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.
