Overview of The 253 Pacific Condominium at 253 Pacific Street
The 253 Pacific Condominium is a five story, three unit condominium in Boerum Hill, completed in 1947 and converted in 2012. Its industrial minimalist architecture uses exposed concrete, metal, and wood, while private outdoor space is attached to all three residences. The building sits near the Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill border, between Smith Street, Court Street, and Atlantic Avenue.
All three homes are duplexes, ranging from 2,280 to 2,603 square feet and from three to four bedrooms. The garden duplex places its main living areas on the entry level and bedrooms on the lower level, which opens directly to a landscaped bluestone garden. The penthouse duplex rises to a private terrace with an outdoor kitchen and a planted green roof, while the remaining duplex has a private balcony.
The interiors continue the building’s material palette with exposed concrete ceilings, raw steel panels, visible ductwork, walnut flooring, expansive windows, and wood burning fireplaces. Private exterior areas connect the residences to the building’s compact footprint, with garden, balcony, and roof level arrangements represented among the three layouts. The property is a short walk from the Brooklyn waterfront and Brooklyn’s major parks, with Downtown Brooklyn also close by.
