Property Description for 705 Driggs Ave, 10

A TRUE LOFT IN AN ORIGINAL 1880s CAST IRON FACADE BUILDING. Beautiful and Economical!. THE LOWEST MONLTHLY COST OF ANY COMPARABLE APARTMENT IN BROOKLYN. This loft consists of 1,650 square feet of open space featuring 12-foot high ceilings, over-sized 10-foot high by 6-foot wide windows and beautiful hardwood floors, all which have been exquisitely renovated and cared for. Maintenance costs are just $461 per month. Of the 6 comparable Condos presently on the market in Williamsburg, including condos with tax abatements, the average monthly costs are $2348, almost $1900 higher. PARKING IS ALSO AVAILABLE. SUBLETTING ALLOWED. RELAXED BOARD. Located in one of the few cast iron fa ade buildings in the neighborhood, that dates back to the 1880s, it offers a unique combination of pre-war history and contemporary design featuring a fully renovated, windowed kitchen boasting a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Thermador range and oven, wine cooler, dishwasher, plus Carrera marble counter tops and breakfast bar. The spacious renovated bath is soaked with luxury, featuring a free standing Waterworks cast-iron soaking tub, a separate Waterworks-tiled standing shower, and Carrera marble flooring. There is also a full-sized washer/dryer and an HVAC unit. The rest of this beautiful condo-op unit is open to your imagination. At 23 feet, it's wider than most townhouses, and there is 70 feet of depth to fill. Create your own space inside this oasis or leave it refreshingly open as is. There is remarkably inexpensive parking that is available to rent for the unit owner at $150 per month (including use of an electric vehicle charger) as well as a huge storage space available for $72 per month. The building has very strong financials and recently underwent extensive upgrades including a brand new elevator. Located in the center of Williamsburg along Grand Street just one block from Bedford Avenue, this new home is also a few short blocks from the Bedford L stop as well as a short distance from the Lorimer G and the Marcy Avenue J,M,Z. It's surrounded by Whole Foods, the Apple Store, McCarren Park and Domino Park. Showings have just started!

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.
