ONE BEDROOM, THREE INTERIOR BEDROOMS PLUS MEDIA ROOM PLUS DEN PLUS 560sqft TERRACE AND DIRECT ACCESS TO PARKING!!! SPECTACULARLY SPACIOUS INSIDE & OUT This masterfully designed Dumbo duplex delivers 2,975 square feet of breathtaking interiors and a massive private terrace in a full-service condominium just inches from glorious waterfront parks. Meticulously planned and flawlessly executed, this designer home by the award-winning firm Husband Wife is perfect for relaxed daily life, lavish entertaining and busy households alike. Step through the gracious foyer on the upper level and be swept away by soaring beamed ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors and oversized sunny windows framed by bold arches. Chefs will love the ultra-modern open kitchen filled with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, while design enthusiasts will marvel at the ingenious waterfall-island-meets-dining-table custom-designed from a single slab of oyster-white marble. Relax in the bright and airy living area, or step onto the 560-square-foot south-facing terrace to enjoy remarkable sunlight and open-sky outlooks. A custom door reveals the main-floor owner's suite offering terrace views, smart bedside niches and walls of well-planned closet space. The exquisite en suite bathroom is anchored by a dramatic Calacatta Viola soaking tub set within a nook fortuitously discovered during the home's gut renovation with a matching Calacatta double vanity and makeup counter rounding out the spa-like oasis. Another well-appointed full bathroom and a cozy media room with a built-in projection screen complete the upper floor. Below, the expansive lower level boasts extra-tall ceilings and outstanding space to suit every want and need. Three massive interior rooms accommodate sleeping quarters, a home office, playroom or all of the above. A large family room is joined by a gorgeous full bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile and a fitness area with room for a Peloton bike and treadmill. A laundry room and two huge storage closets add convenience and ease. Throughout the home, custom shelving and built-in cabinetry maximize storage space while emphasizing this remarkable home's chic minimalist design scheme. Ultra-convenient private parking with direct access to this home's terrace is also available. Built in 1911, 70 Washington Street is a handsome Industrial Neo-Classical building spanning the entire block between York and Front streets. Located within the Dumbo Historic District, this structure was once part of "Gairville," a collection of buildings controlled by Robert Gair, an innovator in cardboard packaging.

Dumbo | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

DUMBO, which is an acronym for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass, used to be a lively industrial and manufacturing zone, full of large factories and warehouses. These buildings have now been converted into expansive lofts, theaters, galleries, and office spaces for start-up companies. These larger residential spaces are attractive to families and creative artists and writers who need space to dream and create. 

DUMBO was named in 1978 as a sort of reverse marketing ploy to try to keep people from swarming into the area, attracted by the quaint tree-lined streets, elegant historic brownstones, large lofts, and views of Lower Manhattan. It was felt that this influx of people would change the nature of the neighborhood. It was hoped that by giving the area a ridiculous name, nobody would want to live there.

Many of the neighborhood’s bars, hotels, and restaurants capitalize on the stunning waterfront views and the Manhattan skyline in the background. Interesting and fun cultural events are held under and around the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges that connect DUMBO to Manhattan. One of these is the annual Oktoberfest.

With beautiful vignettes of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges being framed around every corner, DUMBO provides residents and tourists with charming, and often surprising, views. Because the neighborhood is eminently walkable and filled with unique shops, it feels like a small town on the edge of a major urban waterfront. Once people move to DUMBO, they tend to stay and become involved in the community.
