Originally built in 1910 as a Civil War munitions factory, the Jackson Foundry in prime Williamsburg has retained many of its historic features including rolling fire doors, exposed brick, timber beams and cast iron columns. Apartment 1B is a two bedroom duplex and one of the largest residences at 130 Jackson Street, a highly sought after condo conversion rich in architectural detail and pre-war beauty.
Apartment 1B is a one of a kind corner duplex spanning 1,663 square feet. It features 2-bedrooms, 2.5-baths, 13-foot ceilings, 9 windows, timber floors and a beautifully renovated open island kitchen. A northwest facing 7'' 7'' picture window fills the living room with natural light and a versatile floor plan allows for multiple configurations. Because both bedrooms have en-suite baths and incredible storage space, either bedroom could be utilized as the primary. The bedroom downstairs features a wall of custom closets, several hidden storage spaces and a stunning freestanding tub with timber backsplash. There is also a chic full bathroom with a walk in shower on this level. Upstairs is the second bedroom which is wrapped in exposed brick and steel cased windows. This room truly captures the character of the building with the beams, columns, intricate woodwork, rolling iron doors and dramatic ceiling heights. The kitchen is a chef's dream and features a walk around island, tons of custom cabinets and millwork, state of the art appliances and integrated storage spaces. Tucked downstairs is one of the best features of the property: an utterly massive walk in storage room reminiscent of a suburban garage. Stacked laundry, custom shelving and tons of space to store bikes or have a separate home office, this room offers the creature comforts rarely found in city living. 1B also features central A/C + heat, custom blinds throughout, fully designed closets and thoughtful built ins throughout.
130 Jackson is three blocks from the Graham Avenue L train stop and minutes from McCarren Park.
