Loft-Style Dumbo Pad Has Rustic Exposed Beams, Skylit Office Space for $5,545 a Month

Mention Dumbo and a loft-style pad in a converted industrial building comes readily to the property seeker’s mind. So it is with this place, a one-and-a-half-bedroom on the top floor of a former warehouse at 81 Washington Street, now home to 103 rental units, managed by the Dumbo real-estate powerhouse Two Trees.

The place has high ceilings and exposed wood beams, as you’d want in a loft-style unit. The living space is generously proportioned, and the open-plan kitchen is attractive, with dark wood cabinets and a granite-topped island. 

The bedroom is decent sized, with a walk-in closet. The office space has no window, but there’s a skylight.

Speaking of light, there’s another skylight over the dining area, which may help brighten the kitchen, relatively far from the living room’s pair of windows.

No washer-dryer is mentioned in the listing, from Ryan Roberts of Douglas Elliman, but there’s laundry in the building. There’s also bike storage, not to mention a wine shop housed on the ground floor, a boon to the oenophile.

With a cobblestone street out front and the waterfront park nearby you’ll be living the Dumbo dream. But you’re going to pay for it — $5,545 a month, to be exact, a slight drop from the initial listing of $5,730. Is the place worth it?
