Property Description for 85 Adams Street, 6-A

Perfectly positioned in the heart of DUMBO, Residence 6A at The Beacon Tower is a bright, well-maintained two-bedroom, two-bathroom home offered for sale for the first time since its original purchase in 2006.
Situated on the coveted A line, this home enjoys open bridge and city views that fill the space with natural light and a genuine sense of place - along with the peaceful calm that defines the best positions in the building. Soaring 10-foot beamed ceilings and large, nearly floor-to-ceiling windows amplify the airy, light-filled feel throughout the day.
Every space is thoughtfully laid out and makes for a fantastic home. The open living and dining area is warm and inviting, equally suited to elegant entertaining or simply unwinding at the end of the day. The windowed kitchen features striking cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, stone countertops, and a breakfast bar that completes the space beautifully. The primary bedroom is generously sized - comfortably accommodating a king bed, a seating area, or a home office - with a true en-suite bath. The second bedroom is nicely proportioned and versatile enough to function as a guest room, den, or dedicated workspace. Oak hardwood floors, voluminous closets throughout, and an in-unit Bosch washer/dryer round out this fantastic home.
For a buyer looking to personalize the finishes on their own timeline, 6A offers exceptional bones, a coveted view line, and the kind of quiet that's genuinely rare in this location.
The Beacon Tower is a full-service condominium with 24-hour doorman and concierge service, a fitness center that rivals any Equinox - all overlooking a lush Zen garden - a stunning rooftop terrace with sweeping views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges, and an on-site garage. With only three to four residences per floor, the building offers an intimacy that larger condos can't match.
Enjoy everything DUMBO has to offer - art galleries, acclaimed restaurants, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the cobblestone streets that give the neighborhood its unmistakable character. Close to the F, A, C, 2, and 3 trains.

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.
