A 70-foot brick smokestack anchors a private garden at this $2.1M Williamsburg loft

This duplex loft in the Jackson Foundry Lofts at 130 Jackson Street in Williamsburg has classic loft bones made modern with 21st-century design highlights. But the condo’s private outdoor space is truly extraordinary. Constructed within the building’s industrial architecture, the multilevel garden is anchored by a towering 70-foot-high smokestack that contains a wood-burning outdoor fireplace. Asking $2,095,000, the one-bedroom duplex loft is a standout among the look-alike new construction offerings of the coveted neighborhood.

Built circa 1863, the property, set on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps from the L train, was constructed as a Civil War munitions factory. Post-war, it housed the C.W. Weld tool manufacturing works, a printing house, and a book depository. It was converted to residential condos in 2007.

The garden-level unit has wide-plank white oak flooring, recessed Philips Hue lighting, and a newly-installed central air-conditioning and heating system. The building is topped by a shared roof deck.

The apartment spans 1,130 square feet on two levels. The lower level has a loft layout with an open great room framed by 17-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows with remote-controlled shades. A well-appointed kitchen, anchored by a large prep island, serves the adjacent living and dining rooms.

A powder room and a concealed Bosch washer/dryer can also be found on this level.

Up a cast-iron staircase is a large L-shaped bedroom with an en-suite bath. This sleeping space, open to the room below, has two large closets. A landing area at the top of the stairs offers space for a home office or den.

The star of this north Brooklyn home is the 750-square-foot back garden. Features include a split-level Brazilian walnut wood deck, automatic lighting, irrigated landscaped plantings, and a retractable electric awning.

A custom storage shed is perfect for keeping cushions and other outdoor items safe from the elements. The most notable fixture, of course, is the massive smokestack and its outdoor fireplace, reminiscent of the home’s industrial past.
