About 1196 Metropolitan Ave #2A

Introducing a rare, converted firehouse loft, reimagined as an inspired, design-centric urban retreat on the border of vibrant East Williamsburg & bustling Bushwick. This stunning 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home seamlessly blends historic character with modern design, creating a truly one-of-a-kind living experience. The striking industrial aesthetic with statement features including a sleek, floating steel staircase to the primary suite, an awe-inspiring spiral staircase leading to the roof deck, and chic, polished concrete floors, are artfully juxtaposed with the warmly restored exposed brick walls and original barrel-vaulted ceilings. Walls of oversized windows with three exposures frame spectacular views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Kosciuszko Bridge, while the addition of multiple skylights ensures natural light floods throughout the loft all day long. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is a chef and entertainer's dream, featuring matte black Reform cabinetry, brand new Fisher & Paykel appliances, a large waterfall island, and exceptional storage. A custom stadium-style staircase leads to a large outdoor terrace, creating a clever additional seating element, and a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. Outdoor space abounds, highlighted by a second, massive private roof deck with a bulkhead lounge area and expansive open views where the sky is truly the limit. Inside, two spacious bedrooms offer custom closets, while both bathrooms have been beautifully appointed with large-format tile work and high-end fixtures. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and oversized window for the full at-home spa experience. Additional highlights include an in-unit washer/dryer, multi-zone HVAC, and smart lighting throughout. Set at the intersection of East Williamsburg and Bushwick, you're surrounded by standout dining, nightlife, and creative culture. Cooper Park, Whole Foods, and the Graham Avenue subway are all just moments away as well. Bold, soulful, and meticulously renovated, this residence is a true design statement-where striking architecture, abundant light, and sweeping views combine to create a one-of-a-kind living experience. The Williamsburg Firehouse Lofts offer a condo conversion unlike anything else. Originally built as an active firehouse and home to Engine Company No. 206, also known as The Brooklyn Gashouse Gang, 1196 Metropolitan Avenue later became the Metropolitan Social Club-an underground music venue known for live performances and legendary parties. Today it stands proudly honoring its storied past, while embracing this new chapter as a truly unique, boutique condominium. Flexible move. Available as early as May 1st. Option to be delivered furnished. Please email to set up a tour. There is an upfront $20 application fee to apply. First month's rent and one month security deposit is due at lease signing.
