Carter's Review
This attractive, 6-story building at 55 Berry Street was erected in 1910 as a knitting factory and it became the first condo loft conversion in the Northside area of the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn in 2006.
It has 12-foot-high ceilings, large multipaned windows, open kitchens with cherry cabinetry, concrete columns, wide-plank pine floors, SubZero refrigerators, Bosch dishwashers, wine coolers, a full-time doorman, a superintendent, a porter, a gym, a bicycle room, a roof deck, and private storage.
There is a common garden on the second floor and penthouse units have terraces.
It is down the block from some carriage houses out of which the Brooklyn Brewery operates and it is also close to numerous restaurants, galleries and boutiques on Bedford Avenue. The beige masonry building has bandcourses at its second and six floors and a very large red-brick smokestack attached to one of its sides.
It has 45 apartments and is also known as 120-126 North 11th Street.
It is adjacent to a new residential condominium building at 125 North 10th Street that was erected in 2008 and designed by Robert M. Scarano Jr. in a rather boldly modern and Brutalist style.
The building is not far from McCarren Park.
It was converted by South Second LLC of which Esther Karpen is a principal.
Karl Fischer designed the conversion.
