Lofts1 occupies a four-story, 15-unit condominium conversion in Williamsburg originally built in 1911 as a commercial bakery/cheesecake factory and reconfigured into residences in the mid-2000s. The masonry-and-beam structure preserves industrial character: oversized factory windows, exposed concrete or wood beams, and high ceilings (around 10–12 feet in many units). Units are primarily studio and one-bedroom lofts with open layouts, eat-in kitchens finished with black granite counters and GE stainless appliances, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and in-unit washer/dryers. Selected homes feature private outdoor space — Juliet balconies, projecting balconies, and larger private roof decks or terraces — plus walk-in closets and deep soaking tubs in tiled bathrooms. Common building features are modest and boutique in scale: a shared roof deck, some communal storage, a virtual doorman/intercom system, and limited on-site services; the property is a non-elevator walk-up. Pet-friendly policies apply. Parking is not offered onsite and the building relies on public transit access and nearby street parking. Located on a lively block near Grand, Havemeyer and Metropolitan avenues, the condo sits steps from Bedford Avenue dining, cafes, and multiple subway lines (L, J/M/Z, and nearby G), combining pre‑war loft aesthetics with contemporary finishes and compact, amenity-light condominium management.
