Description

Surround yourself in sweeping postcard views in this stunning two-bedroom, one-bathroom home with private outdoor space in a modern, full-service DUMBO condominium. This high-floor corner home features gorgeous light and views, plus pin-drop quiet, thanks to oversized windows with superior noise attenuation on the northern, eastern and southern exposures. Soaring 11-foot-tall ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors add to the airy ambiance of the loft-like layout. Enjoy a generous footprint for seating and dining areas in the expansive living room, or step out onto the spacious private 400-square-foot deck for up-close views that span from the NY Harbor and Lady Liberty all the way around to the Williamsburg Bridge.

The nighttime vistas simply dazzle. The adjacent open kitchen welcomes you with sleek oak cabinetry, quartz countertops and top-notch stainless steel appliances. Wake up to East River, Manhattan Bridge and Empire State Building views in the spacious bedroom featuring a large closet and easy access to the Zen bathroom. Extra closet space and an in-unit washer-dryer add effortless ease to this sophisticated Brooklyn home. The beautifully updated bath is elegant and serene.

Currently configured with a loft-like open layout, the unit can easily revert to its original two-bedroom design. (See floor plans.) Beacon Tower is a 2005 Feng Shui-inspired high-rise condominium where residents enjoy full-time doorman/concierge service, live-in superintendent, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a courtyard garden, a glorious roof terrace and an on-site parking garage. From this outstanding DUMBO location, you'll enjoy fantastic proximity to fine dining, nightlife, shopping and boutique fitness centers.

Enjoy world-class outdoor space along the waterfront at Main Street, Fulton Ferry and Brooklyn Bridge parks or pause in leafy Cadman Plaza on the way to F, A/C, R, 2/3 and 4/5 trains. The Fulton Ferry Landing, excellent bus service and CitiBikes add to the abundant transportation options. Building-wide tax abatement set to expire June 2023.
