Property Description for 60 Broadway, 5-G

Here you have found your legendary Brooklyn lifestyle dream come true! Loft 5G in the famous Gretsch Building is nothing short of a diamond - a luxurious two bedroom, two bathroom loft with impeccable details and finishes and the perfect touch of after-market renovations, along with bright city views and soaring 13 foot ceilings. The loft itself is uniquely and perfectly laid out with ample storage, Australian hardwood floors, oversized Nero Impala granite countertops complimented by timeless custom shelving above and below for storage and beautiful aesthetic, Subzero refrigerator, Wolf range and a Scandinavian designed Asko dishwasher - all made of stainless steel to compliment the dark granite countertops and stunning glacier blue custom cabinetry. There are many reasons why The Gretsch Building has been and remains to be one of the most sought after luxury condominium buildings in Williamsburg, with its tasteful and timeless design, abundance of natural light, and meticulous utilization of space and layout at the top of the list. This unit in particular is a rarity as it’s been perfectly maintained by the original owner and customized precisely for your luxurious urban lifestyle.

The open chef’s kitchen is a dream come true for any occasion; serving as not only the perfect space to begin your day but also for experimenting with new recipes and entertaining family and friends. The spacious loft-layout gives room for both a large and bright living and media room as well as a six-person dining table, while being able to enjoy the daily New York City sunsets of rainbow skies. A recent and unique addition of custom Kawneer thermal windows not only maintains the temperature desired inside your home as they’re designed for maximum weather efficiency, but also offers unmatched soundproofing from the New York City streets using laminated acoustic reduction glass and dual-frame aluminum technology, making loft 5G the quietest unit in the entire 120+ unit building. The sun-drenched master suite is dressed with custom motorized blackout shades and beautiful dual floor-to-ceiling frosted glass his & hers closets, leading to the en-suite spa-style master bathroom with a double vanity and extended mirror with exceptional lighting features, a deep soaking tub, and a separate & recently customized stand-up shower. On the opposite end of the apartment, designed for minimal noise transparency, is a large second bedroom with an attached second full bathroom that also serves as a guest bath with an additional entrance from the main living space. Adjacent to the bathroom is an extremely spacious coat closet, across from the washer-dryer room and additional customized storage closet which fully takes advantage of every inch of space within loft 5G as it individually provides the maximum amount of style, serenity and comfort.

The Gretsch Building, originally built in 1916, was once a musical instrument factory which proclaimed its fame with its production of Gretsch guitars, banjos, tambourines and drums, played most notably by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pete Townshend, and more. Converted into Williamsburg’s first premiere white-glove condominium building in 2003, The Gretsch still stands strong with its unique style, history, and design, and is still consistently being maintained and updated; whilst recently completing a total overhaul and update of its facade and more interior restorations to keep the building as sharp, comfortable and chic as day one. Boasting low monthly carrying costs, a 24hr doorman, full-time superintendent, private bike storage for residents, a children’s playroom, and a beautiful common roof-deck with full views of the New York City skyline, the East River, and the Williamsburg Bridge, The Gretsch is incomparable to any other property in New York City. Steps away from the magnificent lobby and entrance to the building are several Michelin starred restaurants, luxury gyms, an in-house gourmet coffee shop and all-day eatery and bar, the beautiful Domino Waterfront park, multiple wine bars and lounges for any taste, unique venues for any occasion and a plethora of public transportation options (J/M/Z, L lines, buses and East River ferry) getting you to Manhattan in minutes. Don’t miss out on this truly unique opportunity to own your dream home in the most quintessential location of New York City and at a great price!

The Gretsch has no flip tax and no planned assessments for the incoming buyer. For interested investors, the cap rate has been calculated at almost 4%. Ask Colin for more details explaining the set-up and advantages to this opportunity!

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.
