Artist Zoë Buckman asks $5.49M for chic Dumbo condo

Artist Zoë Buckman, the British-born ex-wife of “Friends” actor David Schwimmer — the two of whom share a daughter named Cleo — is listing her Brooklyn loft. The fourth-floor Dumbo condo, at 185 Plymouth St., is on the market for $5.49 million, down from its $5.75 million ask last April. 

A keyed private elevator opens directly into the unit, which has been featured in shelter magazines including Architectural Digest. The 3,293-square-foot spread comes with three bedrooms (“easily convertible” to four or five) and 3½ baths. It features original wood beams and exposed brick walls, along with a modern glass window wall, oak floors, a living room — and an open chef’s kitchen that leads to a private deck with East River and city skyline views.

The building was formerly a turn-of-the-century Brillo factory that converted to a luxury 10-unit condo in 2014. Amenities include a gym, a bike room, a package room and a virtual doorman.

Currently the condo is configured with three bedrooms — but two more can easily be converted. Brad Stein Photography

“The loft will forever hold a special place in my heart, as it’s where I made my best work to date,” Buckman told Gimme Shelter, adding that she is selling because she “needed separation between where I lived and where I worked.”

Buckman now lives in “a beautiful home in Bed-Stuy,” adding, “I doubt I’ll ever have a studio again with as much abundant natural light as I had in Dumbo.” She is currently working on her first New York City solo show since 2019, which will be held at contemporary gallery Lyles & King in September.

Buckman and Schwimmer married in 2010 and divorced in 2017. That year, Buckman bought the Dumbo condo for $4.57 million.
