Property Description for 153 Manhattan Ave, 2-B

Welcome to 153 Manhattan Ave, Apt 2B—a fantastic opportunity in Williamsburg’s competitive condo market! This rare gem is one of the few buildings left with 421a tax abatement and low common charges, making it an ideal choice for both end users and investors.

This stunning condo is on the market for the first time since the original owners purchased it. With soaring ceilings and large southwest-facing windows, the space is flooded with natural light throughout the day, offering breathtaking sunsets from the comfort of your home.

Spanning 932 square feet, this 1.5-bedroom plus mezzanine loft duplex features nearly 14-foot ceilings, providing a spacious, open feel. The upper level offers potential to create a sleeping loft, adding flexibility to the layout. Additionally the extra home office is big enough to fit a bed, adding another potential sleeping accommodation. A large terrace off the dining room seamlessly extends your living space outdoors—perfect for entertaining. The current owners have meticulously maintained the unit, keeping it in pristine condition. Part of the upgrades include custom cabinetry in the loft space, Nest system, tankless hot water tank, and refinished floors and walls.

One of the best aspects of this condo is the incredibly low carrying costs! Common charges are just $499/month, and thanks to the tax abatement in place until 2033, you’ll only pay $6 a month in taxes. That’s right—just $6 a month! You can own this home for less than the cost of renting.

The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Williamsburg. You’re just steps away from the great retail and dining options on Manhattan and Graham Avenues, with local favorites like Testo, Win Son, The Rosemont, Casa Ora, and Sage all within walking distance. Commuting is a breeze, with the Montrose Ave “L” train around the corner and the J, Z, and G lines just a few blocks away on Broadway.

Don’t miss your chance to see this incredible home before it’s gone. Schedule your private showing today!

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.
