Thoughtfully renovated from top to bottom with exceptional detailing and hand crafted finishes, this home must be seen to be appreciated. A perfect hybrid of elegance and comfort, this two bedroom two bath loft is a retreat in every sense of the word.
Both bathrooms feature stunning imported handmade French and Portuguese tiles dating back to the 1700's, which have been lovingly installed by hand, radiant heat beneath and custom built vanities and fixtures. The master bath features a wet room with oversized windowed shower and cast iron claw foot soaking tub. Each thermostatic shower and faucet include state of the art British company Barber Wilsons.
Step out of the bath into the dressing room, with floor to ceiling custom cabinetry, vanity lighting, and storage to satisfy anyone with an appreciation for fashion.
The living area features a decorative fireplace, three original arched windows and ample room for entertaining. Next to the living room is the dining room and open kitchen, also enormous with a dining table that seats 10 comfortably. The kitchen is a chef's delight with Lacanche range, Rohl cast iron sink, and espresso machine, Miele dishwasher and integrated Subzero refrigerator.
The building was originally built in 1890 for the Long Island Business College and is likely the design of James W. Naughton, the Superintendent of Buildings for the Board of Education of Brooklyn in the late 19th century. It dates from approximately the same time Naughton was working on his masterpiece, the Boys High School in Bedford Stuyvesant (you may recognize it as the set of the recent television series "The Knick"). Like that building, this one is in the Romanesque Revival style, with arches a-plenty in the upper story windows and front door, and the characteristic massing of shapes. Naughton uses brick and terra-cotta in his usual masterful way; the three towers of the façade draw the eye upward, a great use of vertical elements.
Tucked away on a quiet street in Williamsburg, this home is just a couple of blocks to the J, M and Z trains at Marcy avenue, and a short distance to the waterfront Ferry connecting to lower manhattan, DUMBO, and Long Island City.
Available short term only from now until October 15th.
