Situated on the second floor of 81 President Street, this well-designed two-bedroom, one-bath home offers bright and practical living in the Columbia Street Waterfront District.

The layout features a large living and dining area at the front of the home, creating a comfortable space for both entertaining and everyday use. A galley kitchen sits just off the main room, complete with a dishwasher, full-size appliances, and ample cabinet and counter space.

Both bedrooms are positioned at the rear of the residence for added privacy and are nearly identical in size, making them versatile for a variety of needs. Each has its own closet, supplemented by an entry closet, a hall closet, and a spacious living room closet with washer/dryer—a rare convenience in Brooklyn apartments.

The centrally located bathroom is easily accessible from both bedrooms and the main living area. With windows on multiple exposures, the apartment enjoys consistent natural light and a calm second-floor setting.

Beyond the apartment, you’ll find neighborhood green spaces like Mother Cabrini Playground and Urban Meadow, as well as a wide selection of restaurants and shops along Columbia and Union Streets, including local favorites such as Alma, The Longshoreman, and Petite Crevette. Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, and Red Hook’s Van Brunt Street are all nearby, while the Brooklyn Heights Promenade offers iconic skyline views just minutes away.

Transit options—including the NYC Ferry, local bus lines, and the F and G trains at Carroll Street—provide convenient connections throughout the city.

This home offers a balance of thoughtful design, useful storage, and modern amenities in one of Brooklyn’s most desirable waterfront communities.
