THE VAN GLAHN LOFT | CLINTON HILL
88 talampakang industriyal na espasyo, pribadong karapatang gamitin ang bubong, at nakatalang imbakan

Umaabot nang halos 88 talampakan mula sa isang dulo hanggang sa kabila, ang humigit-kumulang 1,479-square-foot na floor-through loft na ito ay isang uri ng tunay na Brooklyn loft na lalong nagiging mahirap hanapin. Ginawa mula sa hilaw na espasyong industriyal ng arkitekto at may-ari nito, pinanatili ng tirahan ang materyal na katangian ng orihinal na gusali—nakalitaw na ladrilyo, mga bigang kahoy, at lumang sahig na tabla—habang ang maingat at simple nitong mga pagbabago ay ginagawa itong pambihirang komportableng tirahan. Humigit-kumulang 19 talampakan ang lapad nito, at ang mahahabang tanawing walang sagabal ay lumilikha ng kapansin-pansing lawak, habang ang nababagong plano ay nagbibigay ng posibilidad para sa dalawa o tatlong silid-tulugan. Kumukumpleto sa espasyo ang sentral na heating at air conditioning, pati na rin ang gumaganang fireplace na de-gas.

SALA, KAINAN AT KUSINA
Ang halos 19-by-19-talampakang sala ang nagsisilbing sentro ng tirahan, na may pambihirang lawak at tatlong matataas na bintanang nakaharap sa silangan. Mula rito, ang mga espasyo para sa sala, kainan at kusina ay tuluy-tuloy na umaabot sa kahabaan ng pambihirang 88-talampakang axis ng loft, na nagbibigay-daan upang natural na umangkop sa arkitektura ang mga likhang-sining, muwebles at iba pang bagay. Tampok sa pasadyang kusina ang 36-pulgadang built-in na refrigerator na Thermador, anim-na-apoy na lutuan na Viking, wall oven na Fisher & Paykel, dishwasher na Bosch, at mga pasadyang kabinet na may mga kahong-drawer na maple na pinagdugtong gamit ang dovetail joint.

MGA SILID-TULUGAN AT BANYO
Sa mas tahimik na dulo ng loft, ang mga silid-tulugan ay hiwalay sa pangunahing mga espasyo ng tirahan, na may dalawang buong banyo at kakayahang tumanggap ng dalawa o posibleng tatlong silid-tulugan depende sa pagkakaayos. Nagbibigay naman ng praktikal na kaginhawahan ng isang makabagong tahanan ang washer at dryer sa loob ng unit, pati na ang sapat na built-in na imbakan.

PRIBADONG BUBONG AT IMBAKAN
Ang humigit-kumulang 753-square-foot na pribadong karapatang gamitin ang bubong—ang buong harapang kalahati ng bubong ng gusali—ay nag-aalok ng posibilidad na lumikha ng pambihirang panlabas na katapat ng loft sa ibaba. Kasama rin sa tirahan ang humigit-kumulang 320-square-foot na pribadong cellar storage na nakatala sa titulo.

GUSALI
Orihinal na itinayo noong 1892 sa estilong Romanesque Revival ng arkitektong si John Graham Glover, ang 62 Washington Avenue ay bahagi noon ng distritong industriyal ng Wallabout at dating kinaroroonan ng Van Glahn Brothers Wholesale Grocery Company. Pinananatili ng harapang masoneriya nito, mga bintanang may arko, detalyeng corbel, at mga proporsiyong industriyal ang katangian ng pinagmulan nitong huling bahagi ng ika-19 na siglo. Sa kasalukuyan, ang gusali ay isang pribado at maliit na boutique condominium na may isang pribadong tirahan sa bawat palapag, na pinagsasama ang makasaysayang karakter na industriyal at pambihirang pribasiya at lawak.

LOKASYON
Matatagpuan sa Clinton Hill malapit sa makasaysayang distrito ng Wallabout, napaliligiran ang tirahan ng natatanging halo ng mga brownstone, muling ginamit na arkitekturang industriyal, mga kalyeng may hanay ng mga puno, café, restawran at mga independiyenteng tindahan, na may maginhawang access papunta sa Fort Greene at Brooklyn Navy Yard. Matatagpuan din ito sa isa sa lalong kumokonting bahagi ng Clinton Hill kung saan posible pa ring makahanap ng paradahan sa kalsada.

THE VAN GLAHN LOFT | CLINTON HILL
88 feet of industrial scale, private roof rights, and deeded storage

Stretching nearly 88 feet from end to end, this approximately 1,479-square-foot floor-through is the kind of authentic Brooklyn loft that has become increasingly difficult to find. Created from raw industrial space by its architect-owner, the residence retains the material character of the original building—exposed brick, timber joists and old plank floors—while precise, understated interventions make it exceptionally livable. Approximately 19 feet wide, long uninterrupted sightlines create a remarkable sense of volume, while the flexible plan offers the potential for two or three bedrooms. Central heating and air conditioning and a working gas fireplace complete the space.

LIVING, DINING & KITCHEN
The nearly 19-by-19-foot living room anchors the residence with exceptional scale and three tall eastern windows. From here, living, dining and kitchen spaces unfold along the loft’s extraordinary 88-foot axis, allowing art, furniture and objects to live naturally within the architecture. The custom kitchen features a 36-inch integrated Thermador refrigerator, six-burner Viking cooktop, Fisher & Paykel wall oven, Bosch dishwasher and bespoke cabinetry with dovetailed maple drawer boxes.

BEDROOMS & BATH
At the quieter end of the loft, the sleeping quarters are removed from the primary living spaces, with two full bathrooms and the flexibility to accommodate two or potentially three bedrooms depending on configuration. An in-unit washer and dryer and ample integrated storage provide the practical comforts of a contemporary home.

PRIVATE ROOF & STORAGE
Approximately 753 square feet of private roof rights—the entire front half of the building’s roof—offer the potential to create an extraordinary outdoor counterpart to the loft below. The residence also includes approximately 320 square feet of private deeded cellar storage.

BUILDING
Originally constructed in 1892 in the Romanesque Revival style by architect John Graham Glover, 62 Washington Avenue was part of Wallabout’s industrial district and once housed the Van Glahn Brothers Wholesale Grocery Company. Its masonry façade, arched windows, corbel detailing and industrial proportions preserve the character of its late-19th-century origins. Today, the building is an intimate three-unit boutique condominium with one private residence per floor, combining historic industrial character with exceptional privacy and scale.

LOCATION
Set in Clinton Hill near the historic Wallabout district, the residence is surrounded by the neighborhood’s distinctive mix of brownstones, repurposed industrial architecture, tree-lined streets, cafés, restaurants and independent shops, with convenient access to Fort Greene and the Brooklyn Navy Yard. It is also located in one of the increasingly rare pockets of Clinton Hill where street parking can still be found.
