Description

Welcome to Residence 16J at 85 Livingston Street - a bright and spacious studio with endless possibilities! Perched on a high floor with sunny southern exposure, this home is bathed in natural light all day long. With Board approval, you can easily create a dedicated, private sleeping area by adding a wall and French doors 8-10 feet from the window, while still allowing light to filter through to the living space. Even with this addition, there's still room for a living area, entertainment center, dining nook off the kitchen, and a dedicated desk or home office.

All-inclusive maintenance covers heat, A/C, electricity, gas, and water/hot water.

The building has been recently refreshed: the elegant lobby renovation (completed just three years ago) added a stylish seating area, a WiFi-enabled co-working lounge, and a dedicated package room. Hallways and elevators have also been updated recently.

Residents enjoy 24-hour doorman service, a live-in super, card-operated laundry, general and bike storage (waiting list, fee), and convenient access to an independently operated on-site garage. Spectrum and Fios are available. A brand-new Gym-NYC just opened next door. Co-purchasing, gifting, and guarantors are welcome-and so are pets!

At the crossroads of historic Brooklyn Heights and dynamic Downtown Brooklyn, 85 Livingston offers unmatched convenience. Trader Joe's, Sephora, SoulCycle, and Starbucks are all within blocks. The Brooklyn Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park-two of New York's most treasured outdoor spaces-are just minutes away. Multiple subway lines (A/C/F/N/R/2/3/4/5) put you in Lower Manhattan in just 1-2 stops. There is a capital assessment of $143.39/month. Flip tax of 1% is paid by the seller.
