Gut-Renovated Pre-War Williamsburg Loft with Unobstructed Manhattan Skyline Views

Located in the historic Esquire Building moments from Domino Park, Residence 6J is an extraordinary corner condominium offering a true loft experience, defined by 18-foot ceilings, dramatic scale, and sweeping, unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline.

Originally a pre-war industrial space, this one-of-a-kind 2,350-square-foot home was created through the custom combination and expansion of two adjacent lofts, resulting in a layout unlike any other in the building. A meticulous gut renovation completed in 2022 stripped the residence down to the studs and introduced all-new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical systems, while preserving the home’s authentic character through exposed red brick, restored concrete columns and beams, and original polished concrete floors.

Currently configured as a one-bedroom loft, the expansive layout offers exceptional flexibility and can easily be converted into a two- or three-bedroom residence (see listing renderings and architectural plans).

A gracious entry foyer with a Porcelanosa full bathroom and a wall of custom outfitted closets opens into a spectacular great room framed by nine massive warehouse-style windows, a Juliet balcony, and abundant northern and western light. With views spanning the Williamsburg Bridge, East River, Freedom Tower, Empire State Building, and the Manhattan skyline beyond, the room is both cinematic and unforgettable—equally suited for grand entertaining and intimate everyday living.

The open chef’s kitchen is thoughtfully designed for both form and function, featuring Neolith black basalt stone countertops, an imported Italian porcelain tile backsplash, custom cabinetry, an eat-in island, and an impressive suite of integrated appliances by Sub-Zero, Bosch, and Miele, including a wine cooler and custom PITT gas range.

Custom floating steel stairs lead to a serene, Japanese-inspired primary loft suite, finished with Carlisle wide-plank hardwood floors and imported tatami mat inlays. The spa-like en-suite bath features a floating vanity, handmade terracotta and micro mosaic tilework, Waterworks fixtures, and a luxurious wet room with a rainfall shower, freestanding soaking tub, and Alaskan cypress wood flooring.

Additional highlights include indirect LED lighting by Pinnacle, a stacked washer/dryer, and a flexible upper-level layout that can be seamlessly reconfigured to accommodate additional bedrooms, a home office, or lounge space.

Once a shoe polish factory, the Esquire Building is a coveted full-service loft conversion offering two elevators, a virtual doorman and updated video intercom system with smartphone integration, shared outdoor space, a common terrace with BBQ, and a community garden. Surrounded by Williamsburg’s best dining, nightlife, shopping, bakeries, and cafés, and close to Domino Park, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, and multiple live music venues, the location is as vibrant as it is convenient. Transportation options include the L train and NYC Ferry, and pets are welcome. Listing courtesy of Compass ...
