Building: 53 Java Street

From Zel Design, the architectural design team that’s brought its talents to clients like Diesel, Calvin Klein, DKNY and Emporium, comes 53 Java, a residence that adds true perk to its Greenpoint environs. Featuring streamlined design outside and in, it’s a modern and sophisticated spot to call home in a culturally happening waterfront neighborhood.

Design is in the details at 53 Java. Each of the apartments features high ceilings (some up to 17 feet) and custom-made windows to create bright and airy spaces. And white oak flooring with a rich grain makes natural beauty an instant part of the décor. All units also offer centralized air conditioning, video intercom, and washer dryer hook-ups, with the penthouse having a Whirlpool washer and dryer unit already in place. Select units offer outdoor space—balconies or terraces—ideal for al fresco entertaining.

Like a good recipe, the kitchens at 53 Java feature the finest ingredients. The cabinetry is Miton Italian-crafted and custom-made from light oak. The countertops and mosaic tile backsplash feature white quartz stone for beauty and longevity. Stainless steel appliances from LG and Bosch keep the look clean and elegant. A water filtration system assures top quality from the tap and a garbage disposal enhances hassle-free clean-up.

Generous in size, the bathrooms at 53 Java were designed to soothe the eyes as well as the body. Percelenosa white porcelain tiles add spa sophistication, while the dark wood vanity cabinets evoke high-end hotels. The Denzel fixtures are modern in their streamlined design. And Vita soaking tubs with glass enclosures feature extended shelf space for hosting a glass of wine, an iPod dock, and good book during leisurely bathtimes.

Close to area restaurants and the newly opened Transmitter Park, 53 Java is just blocks from the G train Greenpoint Avenue Station, which offers quick connections to Manhattan-bound L trains and direct transportation to popular Brooklyn neighborhoods including Fort Greene and Carroll Gardens.
