Floor to ceiling windows run throughout the great room, which opens directly onto the private balcony. The west exposure delivers magnificent sunsets year round. Six inch wide oak floors, a formal entry foyer, and a U shaped kitchen with high end appliances and modern finishes complete the main living space.
The split bedroom layout puts the primary suite on the east side with a radiant heated bath, walk in shower, and custom double sink vanity. The second bedroom faces west with river and skyline views through a picture window and includes an oversized double closet. In unit washer dryer and an oversized coat closet are included as well.
Then there is the roof cabana. At 540 square feet, it is outfitted with a motorized retractable pergola, dedicated dining and lounge areas, a sink, and electrical hookups. The views stretch in every direction, open water, open sky, and some of the best sunsets you will find in Greenpoint.
The Gibraltar is a boutique six story, 14 unit building with a common roof deck, on site parking, virtual doorman, package room, and bike storage.
The location is incredible. Transmitter Park is steps away, one of Brooklyn's best waterfront parks with East River views and open lawn along the water's edge. The East River Ferry puts you on the water and into the city in minutes. Rhythm Zero on Kent Street, Radio Bakery, Naked Dog, Chez Ma Tante, Paulie Gee's, Ovenly, Peter Pan Donuts, Caffe Panna, and Ilis are all part of the fabric here. The G train and the ferry make getting around effortless.

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.
