Featuring wide-planked white oak hardwood floor throughout, the residence just POPS! Upon entry, leaving one overcome simultaneously by the home's orchestral expansiveness, chicness, seemingly limitless ceilings, and unbelievable views.
Located on the entertaining floor, the kitchen and second bathroom possess the finest quality of materials, eg its Pure White Caesarstone, Taj Mahal Quartzite, and lush Soapstone. Appliance brands include Liebherr and Bosch, while the guest lavatory has Kohler and TOTO. The second terrace is also on this level.
Up the first staircase, the second level is replete with incredible storage, a lovely seating area, and an adorable nook that is perfect as an office / home-gym or for little ones / guests.
The primary level is something to behold, as it comes with a fully-built out California style closet, well acquainted for owners with a discerning fashion sense. It also houses an oversized LG washer and dryer, impressive ceilings, and an incredible terrace. The bathroom is windowed for that outdoor shower feel and has multiple glam moments. And let's not forget everyone's favorite toilet, TOTO!!
Last - but certainly not least - #612 at 50 Bridge Street comes with a storage unit.
This blue-chip condominium has a part-time doorman, live-in super, roof deck, bike storage, private storage, laundry room, and parking. It is pied-a-terre / investor friendly, and furry friends are more than welcome.
NOTE: The balcony & terrace shots are virtually rendered and the second bedroom is lofted. An ample, bedroom can be constructed on the entry floor, as noted in the alternate floorplan.
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.
