Description

Your waterfront oasis has arrived. Through the inviting foyer, the soaring 11’ beamed ceilings frame a spacious environment which has been thoughtfully renovated. At apartment 4H, DUMBO loft living has been enhanced by custom crafted cabinetry and hardwood floors throughout, which artfully defines a flow of rooms while also maintaining a generous open plan in the living and dining spaces. The chef-friendly kitchen is delineated by a large island which is capped by a unique rounded endpiece.

This detail provides an ideal surface for culinary preparation while entertaining in addition to casual dining options. The warm palette is completed with tiger maple cabinets. You will enjoy a suite of quality appliances: Subzero refrigerator and wine cooler, Thermador range and oven, and a Bosch dishwasher.

A contiguous corner kitchen office nook allows for a variety of work applications convenient to the heart of the home. The living and dining areas flow outward and are perfect for hosting guests as well as spending quiet evenings at home. An arced wall of design-forward artisan cabinetry of alternating walnut and zebrawood panels offers a discreet entertainment center, a concealed bar, and generous storage options.

This spacious living area is brightened by eight south and east facing oversized windows.

The king-sized primary bedroom is well-proportioned and airy. An ensuite bath includes a deep soaking whirlpool tub, and a marble vanity. The expansive walk-in closet offers organized storage within more handcrafted cabinets.

The two secondary bedrooms are separated from the primary by a gallery hall. The larger of the two includes its own ensuite bath and three towering windows. The third bedroom is distinguished by a breathtaking view of the Manhattan bridge, and a floor to ceiling wall of storage cabinetry.

This room has both an anterior portion and a sleeping area separated by a dramatic column. Unique details like this hint to the industrial history of the neighborhood. The reinforced concrete construction technique used in the iconic Clocktower building was pioneered by cardboard entrepreneur Robert Gair in 1904.

The solidity of this building is inimitable.

The handsome Clocktower building is named for the iconic four-faced clocktower crown, which started keeping time in 1914. It is well situated within the heart of the DUMBO Historic District and was converted to residential use in 1998. The building’s stately handpainted marble lobby provides an esteemed entrance.

The Clocktower features 24-hour concierge service, friendly professional staff, an expansive roof deck, fitness center, residential storage, bike room, and low monthlies.

The location of this home is perfectly set just a few feet from world renowned Brooklyn Bridge Park, the historic Empire Stores, DUMBO House, St. Ann’s Warehouse, Jane’s Carousel, boutique shopping, notable restaurants, art galleries, top tier gyms, bookshops, creative and tech businesses. Plentiful transportation options abound nearby: F, A/C, 2/3 trains, the B25 bus, multiple Citibike stations, and the East River Ferry.
