The gracious living space stylishly unfolds towards the impeccably tailored custom-designed kitchen, featuring a striking hand-selected natural stone slab quartzite countertop with a waterfall mitered edge finish detail and matching backsplash. The tonal depth of this natural stone balances the sleek, Linea D?cor cabinetry and the light warmth of the 8-inch wide oak flooring throughout the home. The spacious, elegant kitchen is equipped with a Bosch refrigerator, Bertazzoni oven, Miele dishwasher, Fisher Paykel vent hood, Miele Pure Line built-in microwave, and Insinkerator garbage disposal. The generously apportioned bedroom has sizeable closets and plenty of natural light streaming in from oversized windows. Given equal attention to detail, the luminous bathroom has radiant heated floors, a floating Duravit vanity, wall mounted toilet, recessed Robern medicine cabinet and select porcelain stone flooring and wall coverings from Porcelanosa.
A full-sized washer accompanied by a full size vented and gas-powered dryer are installed, assuring optimal efficiency and capacity. This smart home is delivered equipped with a Control 4 automation system that currently operates temperature and lighting but is easily scalable for future integration of other automated features, such as window shades, audio/video controls and more. A virtual doorman system is paired with exterior cameras, and integrated cameras are in the lobby, elevator and mail room.
The contemporary exterior design makes a sophisticated, modern statement with a dramatic floating illuminated stairwell, while allowing natural light to filter through the building. The time and expense undertaken to utilize ICF materials to construct 585 Union Avenue, almost unheard of in NYC, blends forward-thinking vision and function, offering superior insulation for dramatic energy conservation and noise reduction benefits.
585 Union Avenue is centrally located in Williamsburg, a block away from McCarren Park, with its sprawling 35-acres of ball fields, running track, dog run and newly renovated Olympic size swimming pool. This ideal location also allows for easy access to the best shopping, restaurants, cafes and nightlife in both Williamsburg and Greenpoint: the renowned Lilia restaurant is on the corner. Other neighborhood highlights include Whole Foods, Beco, Radegast Hall & Biergarten, Brooklyn Brewery, the William Vale Hotel, The Brooklyn Bowl, Night of Joy, Lot Radio, and Equinox. Transportation is easy, just minutes away from the Bedford Avenue L, Lorimer St L & G, and Nassau Avenue G subway lines.
Quick Profile
Go north, not west. Greenpoint’s placement at the furthermost tip of Brooklyn makes it peak “North Brooklyn” territory. Bordered by the East River, its geographical location has long made Greenpoint integral to maritime activity, present day ferry service to Manhattan included. With Williamsburg to the south and Long Island City to the north, Greenpoint’s “hip factor” often experiences crossover traffic from these areas.
Particularly bustling on the weekend, the edge of McCarren Park at Bedford Avenue and Lorimer Street filters out into prime Greenpoint, where brunch has become a hallowed tradition for newer and longtime residents alike. Bars and restaurants such as Spritzenhaus and Five Leaves also provide close proximity to a post-dining jaunt in the park.
As the neighborhood continues to grow and develop, the old world feel of a tradition of Polish immigrants has commingled with the arrival of enterprising millennials that have become a part of the go-getting spirit of the neighborhood. Filled with small coffee shops, vintage boutiques and award-winning restaurants (as well as tailored bars like TØRST offering up specialty beers on tap), Greenpoint truly is the jewel of North Brooklyn.
