Located on the corner of N 8th and Kent, unit 2CD overlooks Marsha P. Johnson State Park and has unapologetic views of the East River, Manhattan and beyond. Sitting in the living room of this lofty three-bedroom home truly allows the homeowner to feel that they are a part of something, directly across from the famed Northside park that is ever-growing while also feeling secluded and cozy in your very own 1700 square foot private enclave.
Upon entering the unit, you are greeted by an expansive hallway that serves as a mudroom of sorts with plenty of space for storage, allowing for maximum convenience when coming and going. To the right of the hallway, you will find a home office that is spacious enough for a large work station and seating area, while also lending itself to a den or family room should the homeowner wish to repurpose this highly functional space.
The living area and open kitchen come together at the apex of the unit, with southern and western exposure that offer glorious sunrise and sunset views over the East River and Manhattan. The living space is loft-like and blends seamlessly with the full-sized dining area and open kitchen. The kitchen offers plenty of storage with a sub-zero refrigerator, Thermador stove, Bosch Dishwasher and Basaltina countertops. The kitchen cabinetry was recently sanded and refinished to a bright white that reflects the cool modernity of the rest of the home.
The primary bedroom is to the right of the home office and features two large closets and an en-suite bathroom. There are two additional sizeable bedrooms, both with custom built-ins, window treatments and floor to ceiling windows throughout. The apartment has an abundance of storage, including a walk-in utility closet or pantry that most in the city could only dream about.
49 N 8th St is an immaculate, impeccably-run condominium built by the famed Toll Brothers in 2008. This boutique building has only 40 units and thus fosters a community vibe while also offering the conveniences and amenities of a larger building. These amenities include a doorman, parking garage, full-time super, common courtyard and full-sized gym.
49 N 8th St is located in the epicenter of Williamsburg on highly desirable Kent Ave. In addition to all of the alluring retail and dining that Williamsburg's Northside has to offer, the proximity to the East River park across the street truly makes it shine. This lush and unique green space across the street continues to grow and flourish as part of the city's plans to further develop the waterfront parks along the East River in North Brooklyn.
If you are tired of cookie cutter new developments, you will be in awe of all of the space and comfort that unit 2CD at 49 N 8th St has to offer. Please contact the listing agents for additional details.
NOTE: Unit C and unit D have been combined with the DOB but not with the AG and still exist as two separate units under the offering plan.
There is a 421-A Tax Abatement in place that expires 2024.
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.
