Property Description for 18 Orient Ave

Welcome home to a mint condition single family home with an abundance of light-filled space, on one of the most special blocks in all of Williamsburg. This tree-lined cul-de-sac was originally known as "Doctor's Row," and featured turn-of-the century townhouses within a stone's throw of Cooper Park. There is literally no condo that can touch the scale, attention to design, and tucked-away, but in "the center of it all" location of this special property. By choosing a single-family townhouse over a condo, you can be assured of low taxes, full autonomy, and NO common charges, ever. Spread out, throw parties, practice your art and music, and easily grow your family. Enjoy a wonderful park at the end of the block, perfect for walking your dog and making new friends. Street parking is easy given that this low-rise block consists mainly of townhouses, and no one even knows it is there unless they are lucky enough to live on the block.

Wide-plank oak floors are juxtaposed with a striking, staircase that includes floor-to-ceiling millwork railings designed straight out of our beloved West Coast modern favorites. This design ethos finds its way into every detail, starting with a chef's kitchen complete with paneled professional appliances, a leather-finished quartz countertop and island, and loads of deep cabinets and drawers.

East Williamsburg | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

East Williamsburg is a mixed industrial neighborhood in Brooklyn, with many working factories that make everything from beer and wontons to clothing and concrete. You are likely to hear screeching, pounding and the deep thump of industrial machinery throughout the day. East Williamsburg has become a haven for artists and musicians of every description, who are attracted to the large open loft spaces of the converted industrial buildings. The area has attracted a younger crowd of 20- and 30-somethings that are drawn by affordable rents and a generally lower cost of living.

There is a rich history of immigrants from Puerto Rico and Italy, and oddly enough, they chose to settle on opposite ends of Graham Avenue, with the Italians on the north and the Puerto Ricans on the south.

Housing in the area consists of mid-rise apartment buildings, row houses, and public housing complexes. There are also smaller multi-family apartment buildings available. Lofts are becoming more prevalent as the older, abandoned factory buildings come up for sale and are converted into residential properties. 

East Williamsburgfairly pulses with a creative vibe. There are unique shopping venues, numerous tiny coffee shops, interesting restaurants, and cafes, along with food trucks that frequent the area. The grocery stores are affordable and carry a wide variety of goods that appeal to the eclectic tastes of the neighborhood residents.

There is a vibrant bar scene, where you will find mostly local residents imbibing, so it is easy to make friends among your neighbors if you stop in frequently at your favorite watering hole. There are many interesting shops, bars and restaurants tucked in amongst the warehouses and factories. Many do not invest in elaborate signage, so it can be difficult to find some of the best spots. Keep an eye out for hand-painted signs on the sides of buildings with arrows pointing to nondescript, nearly invisible entrances.
