Property Description for 79 Bridge Street, 5-A

Set within a classic prewar loft building on a quiet stretch of DUMBO at the crossroads of Vinegar Hill, this two-bedroom residence offers a rare combination of scale, light, and turnkey condition. Spanning nearly 1,400 square feet, the home is defined by true loft proportions, three exposures, and private outdoor space. Freshly painted interiors and newly refinished hardwood floors complete this move-in ready offering. The main living space is expansive yet well-composed, easily accommodating distinct areas for living, dining, and entertaining without compromise. The open kitchen is thoughtfully designed and finished with limestone countertops, custom cabinetry, and a suite of integrated appliances, including a Wolf range and Sub-Zero refrigerator - balancing clean design with everyday functionality. The primary suite is quietly positioned and generously scaled, featuring dual exposures, direct access to the terrace, and a custom walk-in closet. The en-suite bath is finished in limestone with radiant heated floors, a double vanity, deep soaking tub, and separate glass-enclosed shower. The second bedroom is well-proportioned and flexible, supported by a fully finished second bath with similarly refined materials and detailing. Originally built in 1923 and thoughtfully converted, 79 Bridge Street retains the authenticity of its industrial past while offering the convenience of modern condominium living with low monthly carrying costs. Located moments from the waterfront, neighborhood parks, and everyday conveniences - including Wegmans and Lifetime Fitness - as well as some of Brooklyn’s most established dining and retail destinations, the neighborhood continues to see strong demand. Nearby transportation includes the A/C/F trains and NYC Ferry, providing seamless access to Manhattan and beyond.

Dumbo | Brooklyn

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.
