THE VAN GLAHN LOFT | CLINTON HILL
Futi 88 za nafasi ya mtindo wa viwandani, haki za kibinafsi za paa, na stoo iliyoainishwa kwenye hati

Ikitanuka karibu futi 88 kutoka mwisho hadi mwisho, nyumba hii ya takriban futi za mraba 1,479 inayochukua ghorofa nzima ni aina ya loft halisi ya Brooklyn ambayo imezidi kuwa vigumu kuipata. Iliyoundwa kutoka kwenye nafasi ghafi ya viwandani na mmiliki wake ambaye ni mbunifu, nyumba hii imehifadhi tabia ya asili ya jengo—matofali yaliyo wazi, mihimili ya mbao na sakafu za zamani za mbao—huku marekebisho sahihi na yasiyo na makeke yakifanya iwe rahisi sana kuishi. Ikiwa na upana wa takriban futi 19, mistari mirefu isiyokatizwa ya mwonekano huleta hisia ya ajabu ya ukubwa, huku mpangilio unaobadilika ukitoa uwezekano wa vyumba viwili au vitatu vya kulala. Mfumo wa kati wa kupasha na kupoza hewa pamoja na meko ya gesi inayofanya kazi hukamilisha nafasi hii.

SEBULE, CHUMBA CHA KULIA & JIKONI
Sebule yenye ukubwa wa karibu futi 19 kwa 19 ndiyo kitovu cha nyumba hii, ikiwa na ukubwa wa kipekee na madirisha matatu marefu yanayoelekea mashariki. Kuanzia hapa, sebule, chumba cha kulia na jiko vinafuatana kwenye mhimili wa ajabu wa loft hii wenye urefu wa futi 88, na kuruhusu sanaa, samani na vitu vingine kukaa kwa namna ya asili ndani ya usanifu. Jiko maalum lina friji ya Thermador iliyojengwa ndani yenye upana wa inchi 36, jiko la Viking lenye vichomeo sita, oveni ya ukutani ya Fisher & Paykel, mashine ya kuosha vyombo ya Bosch, pamoja na kabati maalum zenye masanduku ya droo za maple zilizounganishwa kwa viungio vya dovetail.

VYUMBA VYA KULALA & BAFU
Katika sehemu tulivu zaidi ya loft, eneo la kulala limewekwa mbali na nafasi kuu za kuishi, likiwa na bafu mbili kamili na unyumbufu wa kutoshea vyumba viwili au, kulingana na mpangilio, huenda vyumba vitatu vya kulala. Mashine ya kufulia na kikaushio vilivyo ndani ya nyumba, pamoja na nafasi kubwa ya kuhifadhia iliyojengwa ndani, hutoa starehe za kiutendaji za nyumba ya kisasa.

PAA LA KIBINAFSI & STOO
Takriban futi za mraba 753 za haki za kibinafsi za paa—nusu yote ya mbele ya paa la jengo—hutoa uwezekano wa kuunda eneo la nje la kipekee linaloendana na loft iliyo hapa chini. Nyumba hii pia inajumuisha takriban futi za mraba 320 za stoo ya kibinafsi ya chini ya jengo, iliyoainishwa kwenye hati.

JENGO
Likiwa limejengwa awali mwaka 1892 kwa mtindo wa Romanesque Revival na mbunifu John Graham Glover, jengo la 62 Washington Avenue lilikuwa sehemu ya wilaya ya viwanda ya Wallabout na wakati mmoja liliandaa Kampuni ya Van Glahn Brothers Wholesale Grocery. Sehemu yake ya nje ya uashi, madirisha yenye matao, mapambo ya corbel na uwiano wa viwandani huhifadhi tabia ya asili ya mwishoni mwa karne ya 19. Leo, jengo hili ni kondominiamu ndogo ya kipekee yenye vitengo vitatu, ikiwa na makazi moja ya kibinafsi kila ghorofa, likichanganya tabia ya kihistoria ya viwandani na faragha pamoja na ukubwa wa kipekee.

MAHALI
Iliyopo Clinton Hill karibu na wilaya ya kihistoria ya Wallabout, nyumba hii imezungukwa na mchanganyiko wa kipekee wa eneo hilo wa majengo ya brownstone, usanifu wa viwandani uliobadilishwa matumizi, barabara zenye mistari ya miti, mikahawa, migahawa na maduka huru, ikiwa na ufikivu rahisi wa Fort Greene na Brooklyn Navy Yard. Pia iko katika mojawapo ya maeneo machache yanayozidi kuwa adimu ya Clinton Hill ambako bado inawezekana kupata maegesho ya barabarani.

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.
