249 19Th St

A four-story, 10-unit prewar condominium conversion dating to 1896, this boutique brick residential building blends historic industrial character with contemporary loft living. Units are largely studio/loft configurations reworked into duplex and single-level plans that maximize ceiling height and window count; many homes feature open living-dining areas, formal dining nooks, and taller-than-average ceilings that recall the building’s manufacturing past. Interior finishes across the property vary by owner update but commonly include white oak or wide-plank flooring, renovated kitchens with stone counters and stainless appliances, in-unit washer/dryers and modern HVAC systems. Shared building features are modest and practical: a recently installed elevator, bike storage, and a common laundry/utility room; select apartments carry deeded roof access or private outdoor spaces over 60 sq ft. On a leafy, walkable South Slope/Greenwood Heights block, the building offers direct street access to neighborhood retail, restaurants, parks and transit lines; off-site or basement storage is available for owners. Parking is predominantly street-based; the pet policy and specific maintenance services are managed by the condominium board and vary unit to unit. Overall, the property reads as an intimate, well-maintained loft-style condominium that preserves prewar detail while supporting contemporary in-unit upgrades and flexible live/work layouts.
