A gracious foyer flanked coat closet opens to the sprawling indoor-outdoor great room, offering a generous footprint for seating and dining areas. Outside, the huge 719-square-foot terrace welcomes al fresco entertaining and lounging with lush plantings, electrical access and views that skim across the neighboring rooftops, from the Manhattan Bridge to the Empire State Building. The beautifully gut-renovated open kitchen impresses with custom-built hardwood cabinetry designed by Cochineal Design topped by a classic farm sink and Neolith slab countertops with marble detailing. The fleet of upscale appliances includes a Wolf range, Bertazzoni convection oven, Sub Zero refrigerator and Miele dishwasher.

In the gut-renovated en suite bathroom, all-new Roca porcelain tile surrounds a soaking tub, shower, and double vanity. The spacious and bright secondary bedroom offers corner windows and access to a full guest bathroom featuring whimsical B-A-N-A-N-A-S! wallpaper by Flavor Paper. CitiProof windows in both bedrooms create a serene sleeping environment, while custom A/C sleeves increase efficiency and reduce noise and pollution. Nest thermostats and a laundry closet with an oversized Whirlpool washer-dryer add comfort and convenience to this exceptional Brooklyn retreat.

Currently configured as a two-bedroom, this large home can easily be converted to a three-bedroom layout if desired.

Set within a handsome prewar brick warehouse, The Bridges is a pet-friendly boutique condominium where residents enjoy elevator service, multiple free-to-use laundry rooms, storage for rent, a bike room, a second-floor terrace and a glorious roof deck with panoramic city and river views .

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.
