Property Details
Description
La Bohème à la Bushwick. Carved from a converted firehouse, this artist's loft is a whole mood drenched in chic design and Brooklyn cool. Double-height ceilings feature corrugated barrel vaults, amplifying vertical volume. Restored historic brick walls add authentic industrial character. Polished concrete floors and architectural lighting highlight various textures, while natural light is maximized via oversized industrial windows and skylights. The kitchen is reconceptualized as a loft-style atélier blending industrial minimalism with warmth. Matte-black Reform cabinetry integrates new Fisher & Paykal appliances and expanded storage creating a seamless rhythm. Further additions by designer/seller include waterfall island and custom stadium-style bleachers creating layered zones for lounging and conversation, plus access to the expansive roof terrace beyond. Outdoor space is in abundance -- with a large sky terrace off the open kitchen, plus a massive private roof with bulkhead living area up the stairs. Expansively impressive views from both. Thoughtfully re-designed, the loft includes two spacious bedrooms, expanded and customized closets, plus newly renovated baths for each. Primary bath includes a freestanding soaking tub, full walk-in shower, double vanity, and oversized window admitting natural light. Washer/dryer + multi-zone HVAC in unit. Smart lighting throughout. Where East Williamsburg meets Bushwick, you'll find unique and only-here bars, restaurants, clubs, and arts programs. Cooper Park, new Whole Foods, and Graham Avenue subway are moments away. Rich and soulful, this is a sumptuously renovated masterwork of design where architecture, light and view conspire to create pure cinematic drama.
