1198 Metropolitan Avenue The Williamsburg Firehouse Lofts.
Eight Unique Loft Residences Sold as a Package.

Built in 1869, 1198 Metropolitan Avenue was originally an active firehouse and home to Engine Company No. 206. After it's closure in the late 1970's it transformed into an underground music venue called the Metropolitan Social Club known for hosting live music and wild parties. Later on in the 1980's it was converted into artist lofts where many local artists called home for over 30 years, and today, this extremely rare NYC property is on the market for the first time ever!

The building is currently comprised of 8 totally unique oversized lofts featuring spacious and unique layouts. Original details include jaw dropping, 16-foot barrel vaulted ceilings, walls of beautiful exposed brick, and extra tall windows offering Brooklyn and Manhattan views. Additional historical details include a spiral staircase to the loft where the fireman used to hang their hoses to dry, and a fireman pole found in the ground floor garage. While many original features have been preserved creating warmth, charm, and a sense of history throughout the building, the apartments are move in ready with recently updated kitchens and bathrooms featuring modern cabinets and fixtures as well as new appliances. Brand new mini split systems have been installed throughout the building as well for efficient heating and cooling. The two penthouses have enormous private roof decks with expansive views, one with a second deck that is over 2000 square feet. The ground floor unit features a garage that you can pull your car or CARS right into with an additional private garden as well.

The building is mostly vacant (7 of 8 units), and ready for its new owner to enjoy one or more of the lofts while collecting a handsome income on the others. Have something else in mind?
