Welcome to one of the original condo conversions in Williamsburg at 138 Broadway.Top floor units are rarely available here with their beamed ceilings found only on this floor. 6F perfectly exemplifies the loft way of life that has drawn people to Williamsburg's South Side for years.
Clocking in at 860 SF this legal studio, used as a 1-bedroom, is larger than many 2-bedroom units on the market now (and so much more special). Adding to the charm, is ample seating in the windows of 6F - stretch out and read, have a cocktail and watch the trains and ferries go by.Your first impression upon entering are the jaw-dropping 13'+ ceilings and the massive windows that allow for light all day and glorious views.The open living space is the very definition of industrial chic with its deep chestnut beamed ceilings, similarly stained hardwood floors and 2 cast iron pillars in the entry and bedroom.
The view from here is truly unique - with the historical landmarked Kings County Bank building and a charming plaza with flowers and bistro seating right out your window along with views of the Williamsburg Bridge.The room used as a bedroom has pocket doors on either side to create your zen sanctuary. The bathroom feels like a spa with opaque, creamy penny tiles and floating vanity. Storage is never an issue with 2 very large closets, and built-in floating shelves in the living area along with a utility closet with your own water heater/boiler and HVAC system.
Converted to condos in 2002, the desirable Smith Grey building is one of the original warehouse conversions that started it all in Williamsburg. It features laundry on every floor, a great common courtyard and one of the best shared roof decks in the area, as well as bike storage in the basement, a video intercom system and a wonderful Super and Porter. The J,M,Z trains are a few short steps up Broadway with direct access to midtown or downtown Manhattan and the Schaefer Landing East River Ferry is a few-minute walk away. Live in the epicenter of all that South Williamsburg has to offer with some of the best restaurants and watering holes, as well as City Acres - a fantastic supermarket - just down Broadway.

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.
