365 Bridge Street, 6-D

Rare opportunity to rent a spacious loft-style unit in the coveted BellTel Lofts condominiums. This west-facing one-bedroom unit has soaring 12-foot high ceilings, bamboo floors throughout, an open kitchen with plenty of cabinets, a spa-inspired twin-sink bathroom with soaking tub/shower combo, an in-unit washer/dryer and a lot of closet space. The Kitchen features stone countertops and stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, microwave, gas stove & dishwasher), with a perfect chef's triangle configuration. The open living space is generously sized and has western light. One of the two original “home occupancy rooms” (sleeping rooms) has been renovated and adapted as an additional flexible living area that works well as a den or office – separate but connected to the main living/dining space. This area could easily be converted back to a separate sleeping room if desired. This early Brooklyn Art Deco skyscraper was originally designed as the Bell Telephone headquarters in 1928, and converted to condominiums in 2007. The building amenities include two rooftop terraces with well-maintained barbecue grills and seating/lounging areas, a 24-hour fully-equipped fitness center (you will not need another gym!), beautiful lobby with 24-hour concierge and four high-speed elevators, business center, yoga studio, a screening room lounge and children’s playroom. Bicycle storage is offered in-building, as well as in-building underground parking garage and storage spaces (both under separate management) that provide direct access to building elevators. You will be spoiled by the ease of on-floor trash chute and recycling room, package and dry cleaning delivery notifications, and friendly on-site porters and maintenance crew to help with everything from smoke alarm replacements to Christmas tree removal. This perfect location is a short walk from Dumbo, Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, BAM and the Barclays Center arena. Many subway lines (2, 3, 4, 5, A, B, C, F, G, Q and R), multiple CitiBike stations and ZipCar locations are within a few blocks. BellTel is situated between two new or refurbished parks - the $15 million one-acre Willoughby Square / Abolitionist Place Park is just to the southeast and the 3.5-acre Brooklyn Commons park to the northwest is getting a $50 million revamp to better host events and activities, including theater performances, outdoor film screenings, live music, ping pong, holiday events, food festivals, a pop-up ice-skating rink, free exercise classes and more. Downtown Brooklyn has quickly become Brooklyn's most exciting destination, and the build-out is nearing completion. CityPoint is nearby with the DeKalb Market Hall food court, Trader Joes, Target, Lululemon, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, plus tennis and pickleball at Court 16. Other notable Downtown Brooklyn businesses include Circa Brewing Co., SoulCycle, Chelsea Piers, and Brooklyn Fare. And let's not forget the recently reopened Gage & Tollner (once the most famous restaurant in Brooklyn) and the ACE Hotel. No smoking is allowed in the apartment. Pets may be allowed with prior approval. Brokers fees to be paid by renter. *Units in the “D-Line” units are typically used as a one or two bedrooms, this property's legal description is as a studio with two home occupancy areas.
