257 Water Street is a pre war rental building in the South Street Seaport, occupying a site associated with the area’s former 1800s fishing port. Built around 1900 and later renovated into loft style residences, the six story building contains 20 apartments ranging from studios to five bedroom layouts.
The apartments have the proportions and finishes associated with the conversion, including high ceilings, hardwood floors, generous living areas, and substantial closet and storage space. Renovated kitchens and bathrooms are standard, with full size appliances, dishwashers, and granite countertops recurring across the larger layouts. In unit washers and dryers are also a consistent feature, while some homes have central heating and air conditioning.
The building’s main shared amenity is a large rooftop terrace with views toward the Brooklyn Bridge, Downtown Brooklyn, the East River, and the Freedom Tower. A virtual doorman and outdoor entertainment space round out the building’s listed services.
The address is in the center of the South Street Seaport’s historic waterfront district, close to the South Street Seaport Museum, its piers, restaurants, bars, and the East River shoreline. The surrounding Financial District adds extensive dining, retail, and neighborhood services, while the Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan skyline shape the outlook from the roof.
