Property Description for 138 Broadway, PH-A

At the pinnacle of the cast iron Smith Gray Building - originally constructed in 1884 and converted to condominium apartments in 2002 - a Williamsburg starlet sits. Penthouse A is a multifaceted and authentic 2,070 square-foot loft composed of 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Ceiling heights ranging from 9 to 25 feet and exposed original brick create the conditions for a completely dynamic duplex loft. Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed with an open kitchen, complete with a Wolf range, Subzero fridge, built-in wine cooler, and dishwasher, creating an ideal space for entertaining. To the right is your first full bathroom. This is all secondary to the dramatic open living room, flooded with light and accented with an incredible free-floating staircase. Arriving on the top flight of the second floor, the hallway turns in such a way to protect the bedrooms from the loft space below, bringing you to a calm sanctuary. The first two well-sized bedrooms each have unique identities: one is cocoon-like and quiet, while the other is bright and full of life with a large terrace attached.The crowning element of the 2nd floor is the large master suite, comprised of an en-suite with full bath and double vanity. The master suite easily accommodates a king-sized bed, set in front of a full wall of built-in shelving, with plenty of room left over for a sitting area and writing desk. Beyond the fantastic interiors, three private outdoor spaces await - a south-facing balcony off the living room, a southeast-facing terrace with wide-open Brooklyn and Financial District views, and the show-stopping northwest-facing terrace with prized Williamsburg Bridge & Manhattan Skyline views right off the master suite.Penthouse A contains ample closet space, central heat and air conditioning, a video intercom system, a full-time super, bike storage, and basement storage (additional monthly fee). From the epicenter of Williamsburg at Broadway & Bedford, one can easily walk a few minutes to the J, M & Z subway lines at Marcy Ave, or walk 14 minutes to the L train at Bedford Ave. And dont forget easy access to the East River Ferry at Schaefer Landing, only an 8-minute walk away!The South Williamsburg community manifests a truly original spirit with the Diner, Marlow & Sons, Peter Lugers, Motorino Pizza & so much more right outside your door! This is a supremely rare and coveted offering in Williamsburg - a true dream apartment for the next lucky owner.

Williamsburg | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Equal parts family-friendly and millennial haven/nightlife destination, Williamsburg offers the best of all worlds. Whether by night or by day, the ‘Burg has endless options for every type of personality and interest--which has only increasingly become the case after the neighborhood was rezoned in 2005. With the floodgate opened for more varied types of businesses, Williamsburg saw one of the highest rates of development in the past decade than any other part of Brooklyn. 

Referred to as “Little Berlin” for its late night and club-oriented nature, Williamsburg works as hard as it plays. Apart from the Clubland concentrated around Wythe Avenue, there is also a slew of offices (like 25 Kent Avenue, a sprawling eight-floor, 500,000-square foot waterfront building) and co-working spaces such as WeWork, The Yard and Green Desk that make it an ideal location for the corporate-, startup- and tech-oriented set. 

With more offices setting their sights on this part of Brooklyn, it only makes sense that more people want to live close to where they work. Apart from your average walk-up apartment, W-burg has famously become home to numerous condos along the waterfront that continue to grow and expand in concert with the businesses and corporate hubs that have entered the environment. 

Even with its many and undeniable changes, however, Williamsburg remains an arts-friendly community, particularly with regard to music and literature. While DIY spaces have come and gone, certain staples have persisted to become institutions that still provide a place for up and coming musicians to perform. On the literary front, long-standing indie bookstores like Spoonbill and Sugartown and Book Thug Nation have paved the way for others to cross the river, namely McNally Jackson Books.
