Property Description for 211 North 5th Street, 2-B

Nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street, this loft-inspired 2 BR/2 BA condo is an oasis in the middle of vibrant, bustling Williamsburg. Enter the home through a key-locked elevator into a large great room. The expansive space features 10-foot ceilings, wall-to-wall glass windows, exposed brick, cherrywood floors, an elegant open island kitchen, juliet balcony and lovely mulberry treetop views. Beyond the great room is a coat closet, home office with industrial-chic sliding door and custom shelving, laundry room, linen closet and additional storage nook. Closets throughout the apartment are custom outfitted with Elfa shelving. The primary bedroom is large and luxurious, has two closets (one is a walk-in), and looks out onto the peaceful gardens of neighboring townhomes. The recently-renovated en-suite bathroom is a place of tranquility and features beautiful black, white & grey tiled floor and walls, with an oversized soaking bathtub, double vanity sinks, and radiant heat floor. The second bedroom can easily accommodate a queen-size bed, has two large closets and easy access to the recently renovated second bathroom, which features stylish black and white tiles, a glass-enclosed shower, and additional built-in shelving. The building has a beautiful, planted common roof deck (with fruit-producing cherry and apple trees!) and views of the Empire State Building. The apartment also features video intercom, central heating and cooling controlled by Nest thermostat, a Bose sound system and electronic blinds in the great room. The Metropolitan is a boutique, ten-unit condominium, minutes from McCarren Park and surrounded by all of the shopping, dining and nightlife (including Whole Foods, the Apple Store and much more) that makes Williamsburg one of the best neighborhoods in New York City. The building is close to all major transportation, including the Bedford L, the Metropolitan G and the North Williamsburg Ferry Landing, and is pet-friendly.

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.
