Blue & Brickwork Brooklyn, New York

Property Description

Love New York loft-style living? Then check out this achingly cool period property in the hipster Brooklyn district. Housed in a converted 100-year-old factory loft, this place delivers on all the criteria. There’s exposed brickwork, lofty ceilings, original wooden rafters, and light-flooding windows revealing some great views across to the quiet and friendly Greenpoint neighbourhood, located nearby. The owners have cleverly made use of those high ceilings by creating a mezzanine level, where you’ll find the second bedroom by climbing a charming spiral staircase. Elsewhere, one-off artwork, contemporary furniture, and global-inspired textiles have been expertly fused to add another layer of interest and make the space feel homely. And even though this home is a little further out, it takes less than thirty minutes (door to door) to get into Lower Manhattan by train, which is an eight-minute walk away. The bike store in the basement will be an added perk for those who plan to see the city on wheels. And so you should. Nearby, you’ll find some bustling restaurants, bars, and shops, along with open green spaces, including McGlorick Park, where there is a farmers' market every weekend. You’d never get that in Lower Manhattan, would you? So get out there and meet the locals – authentic Brooklyn living awaits.
