Property Description for 70 Washington Street, PH-R

VAST PRIVATE TERRACE. PRIME DUMBO PENTHOUSE LOFT. Mesmerizing views of bridges, the river, and Lower Manhattan are the constant backdrop in this airy high-ceilinged Dumbo aerie – a 1-bedroom, 1-home-office loft with 2 full baths. From your ~500-sq-ft northeast-facing private deck, light pours into the loft through a bank of oversized windows. Seamless indoor/outdoor living awaits — the entire space invites lounging, entertaining, or al fresco dining. The deck’s a dream for urban gardening – with panoramic views & killer sunsets to boot. Wake up with the sun, as the primary bedroom also welcomes light and views. It’s large enough for a king-sized bed and has 2 generous closets. The ensuite bathroom is completely renovated and features a whirlpool soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. The interior flex room can be used as a home office, a guest room or a nursery. It has easy access to the second renovated bathroom with a full-sized tub. Recently renovated with hardwood floors, updated bathrooms and kitchen. The open-plan kitchen, equipped with premium appliances, has a massive marble countertop, plenty of space for prep and easy entertaining. The separate utility room has a new washer/dryer and ample space for additional storage. This stunning Penthouse is located at 70 Washington, a coveted loft building on the most pictured (and picturesque) street in thriving waterfront Dumbo. 85-acre wonderland of Brooklyn Bridge Park is at your doorstep, and the culinary rewards of Empire Warehouse and Vinegar Hill just minutes away. Building amenities include a full-time concierge, doorman, super and gym. Dumbo is one stop from Manhattan (via F, A & C, East River Ferry). There's a current assessment of $416 monthly that will end Dec, 2023.

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.
