Property Description for 705 Driggs Ave, 16
Stunning Custom Cast-Iron Loft in Prime Williamsburg:
This 1,853 SF 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cast iron loft underwent a stunning custom renovation by the designer/owner, which is unlike anything you'll find by a developer. This top floor loft has a highly sought-after floor thru layout with dual exposure & 3 skylights, making it a true, 3 bedroom loft. A labor of love, this renovation honors the pre-war aesthetic while offering conveniences & style of a modern, sleek home.
Loft features:
- True 3 bdr/2 bath (3rd bedroom has skylight) on a massive 24x73 footprint
- Sought after floor-thru layout, bathed in light over whitewashed brick from northern & southern exposure
- Top floor overlooking Brooklyn with 13.5 foot ceilings & 3 skylights illuminating the center of the loft
- Enormous, iconic windows and incredible pre-war detail & history throughout
- Extremely low maintenance with available parking ($150/mo) and storage ($63/mo)
Renovation Features:
- Madera solid white ash 9" wide plank floors
- Chef's Kitchen with a large sit-in island and incredible wall of integrated storage with Danish cabinet fronts, walnut and blackened steel kitchen island, blackened steel backsplash, Corian countertops with Thermador Refrigerator, Bluestar gas range & Bosch dishwasher
- Central ducted heat and A/C & Vented gas washer/dryer
- Master bathroom lit by skylight, features large spa-like shower/tub combination and unique recycled computer chip design
- Mutina Italian floors in bathrooms, fixtures from the Netherlands
- Custom lighting fixtures throughout including handmade porcelain pendant lighting in kitchen
- Designer Lighting by NYC based companies such as Allied Maker, Rich Brilliant Willing, Juniper lighting, and Matter Made & handmaid porcelain lighting in kitchen.
This incredible cast iron building dating back to the late 1800's is truly an architectural gem and unlike anything else you can find in Williamsburg. At the crossing of Grand Street and Driggs Avenue, it is perfectly located on the border of North and South Williamsburg, with access to the JMZ trains at Marcy Ave and L train at Bedford Ave, near the conveniences of North Williamsburg like Whole Foods and the Apple Store, yet surrounded by the restaurants, cafes and boutiques that have made Williamsburg the creative enclave it is today.
Please note: Elevator is under repair, projected to be finished Fall 2022

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.
