Property Description for 253 Pacific Street, 2
The 2,475 sf balcony duplex at 253 Pacific St has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, a separate dining room, and a private balcony off the living room. This home features a keyed elevator entrance, huge wood burning fireplace with custom wood storage, and eco-friendly structure and materials throughout. The buildings industrial minimalist design strives for simplicity by focusing on the recurring use of three main materials used again and again: concrete, metal and wood. It starts with the faade, which is made of these three elements in the concrete exposed piers, zinc standing seam, and the steel and Ipe flower boxes, screen and door. Inside the building much of the muscular, concrete superstructure is left exposed to highlight the unique and imperfect beauty of this common building element. Steel panels and exposed piping are used to highlight the raw nature of the design. Walnut -- a warm, dark wood -- is used extensively to contrast with the raw, rough elements. Expansive windows and bright white paints are used to highlight and define these elements. Access to light and exterior space is key with all three units having private outdoor spaces. Simple elements, smart design, and tremendous space in the heart of vibrant Boerum Hill, steps from excitement of Smith, Court and Atlantic Avenue; a stroll to Brooklyns best parks, and the convenience of all major subway lines. The complete offering terms are in an Offering Plan available from Sponsor. CD 12-0017.

Boerum Hill | Brooklyn
Quick Profile
Boerum Hill is a tiny, quiet, primarily residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. There are broad tree-lined streets that are filled with elegant three and four-story brownstones and townhouses, mostly built between 1840 and 1870. There is a definite family vibe to the neighborhood, but young professionals are moving in, and with them are coming trendy bars to cater to their desire for some measure of nightlife, without having to linger in Manhattan. These new bars and restaurants are being sandwiched in amongst existing shops on both Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street, which are the main commercial areas in Boerum Hill.
Boerum Hill offers a convenient location that is still able to maintain its small-neighborhood feel. Shopkeepers value their customers and remember their regulars. It continues to do what it was designed to do, namely provide small-town living in the very shadow of the big city. Boerum Hill is an easy commute to other parts of the city, making it easy to come home every day to the peace and tranquility of Boerum Hill while commuting to a job anywhere in the city.
The neighborhood is quite walkable and you can take the time to catch up with your neighbors while visiting on their stoops. Shopping on Atlantic Avenue is stress-free with no high pressure. You can meet with friends at any of the many coffee shops and while away pleasant hours in conversation. The dining scene on Smith Street is similarly laid-back. Don’t expect that there will be quite as much to see or do as there is in Manhattan, but there are a decent number of interesting bars and restaurants providing a measure of nightlife. The trade-off is worth it, as Boerum Hill provides a quiet, peaceful place to live and raise a family.
