Property Description for 495 Lorimer Street

An Exceptional Mixed-Use Opportunity in the Heart of Williamsburg This thoughtfully maintained mixed-use building offers a rare opportunity to own a versatile property suited for both end users and investors, with two residential homes above two established, neighborhood-loved commercial spaces, all set in one of Brooklyn’s most vibrant neighborhoods. The building has been lovingly cared for over time, blending original character with practical updates that make each space comfortable and inviting. The residential units are especially generous in scale, with large eat-in kitchens, spacious box-style bedrooms, updated bathrooms, and open living areas with excellent storage throughout, all thoughtfully laid out for daily living. The second-floor apartment is a bright and expansive 2-bedroom featuring two separate living areas and an incredible private roof deck, offering a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle that is hard to find in the neighborhood. Upstairs, the top-floor 3-bedroom is equally inviting, with well-proportioned rooms, an open layout, and flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. Together, these units present a unique opportunity for an end user to live comfortably in one or explore combining them into a single, substantial home, while also offering strong, appealing layouts for those looking to maintain them as high-quality rental units. The commercial spaces are both well-established and contribute to the neighborhood’s daily rhythm and appeal. One is home to a popular sandwich counter, fully built out with proper ventilation, an Ansul system, a walk-in refrigerator, and extensive equipment. The other is a well-loved neighborhood coffee shop with a generously sized layout, ample room for seating, and a dedicated basement for storage and operations. This is a rare chance to acquire a turnkey property with strong existing use and long-term potential. Located just two blocks from the Lorimer L train, the property offers convenience along with the energy and charm that make Williamsburg so sought after. Showings are by appointment only. Please reach out with any questions or for additional details.

Williamsburg | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Equal parts family-friendly and millennial haven/nightlife destination, Williamsburg offers the best of all worlds. Whether by night or by day, the ‘Burg has endless options for every type of personality and interest--which has only increasingly become the case after the neighborhood was rezoned in 2005. With the floodgate opened for more varied types of businesses, Williamsburg saw one of the highest rates of development in the past decade than any other part of Brooklyn. 

Referred to as “Little Berlin” for its late night and club-oriented nature, Williamsburg works as hard as it plays. Apart from the Clubland concentrated around Wythe Avenue, there is also a slew of offices (like 25 Kent Avenue, a sprawling eight-floor, 500,000-square foot waterfront building) and co-working spaces such as WeWork, The Yard and Green Desk that make it an ideal location for the corporate-, startup- and tech-oriented set. 

With more offices setting their sights on this part of Brooklyn, it only makes sense that more people want to live close to where they work. Apart from your average walk-up apartment, W-burg has famously become home to numerous condos along the waterfront that continue to grow and expand in concert with the businesses and corporate hubs that have entered the environment. 

Even with its many and undeniable changes, however, Williamsburg remains an arts-friendly community, particularly with regard to music and literature. While DIY spaces have come and gone, certain staples have persisted to become institutions that still provide a place for up and coming musicians to perform. On the literary front, long-standing indie bookstores like Spoonbill and Sugartown and Book Thug Nation have paved the way for others to cross the river, namely McNally Jackson Books.
