Property Description for 138 Broadway, 5-F

Housed in one of the few pre-war, cast iron loft conversions in Williamsburg, The Smith Grey offers authentic 1884 historic architectural texture with the luxury and convenience for modern living.

Apartment 5F is a loft-like, flexible space that allows for one or two private sleeping quarters or a master bedroom with guest room, nursery, or study. Flooded with light, and showcasing dramatic city and bridge views through large-scale windows, 11-plus foot high soaring ceilings, meticulously designed and maintained- this exciting home offers dramatic space to entertain and comfortable, inviting space to live and enjoy.

An impressive entry hall ushers you into the vast and open living, cooking and dining space with stunning views and perfect proportions for large scale entertaining or quiet times to relax and unwind. The generous kitchen features stainless steel appliances, white painted hardwood cabinets and granite counters and is perfect for the home chef with generous cabinet, counter, and prep space.

The 15 foot long, king-sized master bedroom is accessed via 9 foot high savaged wood barn doors and the 11 foot long guest room, with transom window, opens to the living space via frosted glass French doors to take advantage of the brilliant natural light. The pristine bathroom features slate gray ceramic tile, a glass doored, oversized step-in shower with rain-shower head, and ample storage space.

With such appealing features as solid oak hardwood floors, iconic tongue and groove lumber ceiling, central air conditioning, private mechanical/storage room and a hookup for an in-unit washer/dryer this handsome home has much to offer in terms of authentic NYC character and convenience.

Built in 1884, the Smith Grey was converted to a 40-unit condominium in 2002. Residents enjoy the convenience of a full time superintendent, laundry on every floor, bike storage, and a spectacular roof deck with wide-open views of Brooklyn and the Manhattan skyline. 138 Broadway is ideally located a few short blocks from the heart of South Williamsburg with the best shopping and renowned dining, one block from world renowned Peter Luger's and the convenience of the J,M,Z subway within four blocks.

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.
