Property Description for 79 Bridge Street, 5-F

Every once in a while an apartment comes to market that is truly unique and features that one thing that everyone is hoping to find. Residence 5F at The Bridges Condominium is that apartment. A truly spacious loft-like 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom boasting an open floorplan that leads to an enormous private terrace displaying multiple entertaining and living areas. A true oasis in one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods. (This special corner unit also offers the flexibility of creating a third bedroom. See alternate floorplan)

You will immediately be drawn into this special apartment as it is flooded with light by floor to ceiling windows from two exposures. Beautifully finished with hardwood floors and outfitted with motorized window treatments, a surround sound system and stunning custom built-ins designed for display and maximum storage.

At the heart of the home is a large open chef's kitchen with abundant counter and cabinet space and complete with a Sub Zero refrigerator and a Thermador oven, range and dishwasher. All beautifully enhanced with custom finishes like the Lux Travertine Mosaic tile backsplash and Carrera marble counter tops. And of course, there is a wine fridge!

The primary bedroom suite is as generous as the entertaining space and also enjoys direct access to the terrace! Thoughtfully upgraded with a bespoke built-in office, custom black out window treatments and a fully fitted custom built California Closet that leads to a renovated spa-like bathroom with double vanities and Hansgrohe fixtures.

The second bedroom is also massive and bright with abundant closet space. A second full bathroom was also renovated with Zumi recycled glass tiles and Hansgrohe fixtures in shower, and doubles as a powder room.

The interior of this home is spectacular but the real showstopper is the terrace! Enjoy nearly 1000 SF of outdoor living with four separate areas for relaxing, entertaining, dining and play. The current owners had the terrace beautifully designed by a professional urban landscaper, complete with a drip irrigation system, up-lighting throughout and a child and pet friendly synthetic grass turf at the southern end. Take cues from the existing, or bring your own imagination here because the possibilities are endless!

Building amenities include a recently upgraded intercom system that is smartphone compatible, so you never miss a package, on-site laundry, a bike room, additional on-site storage spaces and a 2nd-floor courtyard. There is also a waiting list for on-site parking.
The Bridges Condominium is conveniently located just one block from the F train at York street and is easily accessible to the A/C at High street. It is the best of both worlds living at the crossroad of DUMBO and Vinegar Hill. Far enough from the bridges to live a quiet existence, but still very close to all of the wonderful amenities DUMBO has to offer including Empire Stores, Time out market, DUMBO House, amazing restaurants and fitness options, and the iconic Brooklyn Bridge Park and waterfront!

This is not to be missed.

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.
