Rare Rent-Stabilized 1BR + Home Office in Prime Greenpoint
Welcome to 51 India Street, Apt 2L, a well-proportioned 1-bedroom, 1-bath railroad-style apartment with a separate home office/dining area, located on the second floor of a walk-up building. The apartment features a large, windowed, eat-in kitchen with a gas oven. The bedroom comfortably fits a king-size bed. A bonus room separates the kitchen from the living room and can be used as a dining area, home office, or in any other creative way.
Located in one of Greenpoint's most convenient pockets, the building is 1.5 blocks from the Greenpoint Ferry and 1.5 blocks from the G train at India Street & Manhattan Avenue, making it easy to get around Brooklyn and Manhattan. A major highlight: this is a rent-stabilized apartment, an increasingly rare opportunity to lock in long-term value in a prime neighborhood.

Quick Profile
Go north, not west. Greenpoint’s placement at the furthermost tip of Brooklyn makes it peak “North Brooklyn” territory. Bordered by the East River, its geographical location has long made Greenpoint integral to maritime activity, present day ferry service to Manhattan included. With Williamsburg to the south and Long Island City to the north, Greenpoint’s “hip factor” often experiences crossover traffic from these areas.
Particularly bustling on the weekend, the edge of McCarren Park at Bedford Avenue and Lorimer Street filters out into prime Greenpoint, where brunch has become a hallowed tradition for newer and longtime residents alike. Bars and restaurants such as Spritzenhaus and Five Leaves also provide close proximity to a post-dining jaunt in the park.
As the neighborhood continues to grow and develop, the old world feel of a tradition of Polish immigrants has commingled with the arrival of enterprising millennials that have become a part of the go-getting spirit of the neighborhood. Filled with small coffee shops, vintage boutiques and award-winning restaurants (as well as tailored bars like TØRST offering up specialty beers on tap), Greenpoint truly is the jewel of North Brooklyn.
