We report on the characterization of a nearby (d = 11.2 pc) ultracool L dwarf(WISE J192512.78+070038.8; hereafter W1925) identified as a faint (G = 20.0)high proper motion (0.22"/yr) object in the Gaia Data Releases 1 and 2. APalomar/TripleSpec near-infrared spectrum of W1925 confirms a previouslyestimated photometric L7 spectral type by Scholz et al. 2018, and its infraredcolors and absolute magnitudes are consistent with a single object of thistype. We constructed a spectral energy distribution using the Gaia parallax,literature photometry and near infrared spectrum and find a luminositylog(Lbol/LSun) = -4.443+/-0.008. Applying evolutionary models, we infer thatW1925 is likely a 53+/-18 MJup brown dwarf with Teff=1404+/-71 K and log g=5.1+/-0.4 dex (cgs). While W1925 was detected in both the 2MASS and WISEinfrared sky surveys, it was not detected in photographic plate sky surveys.Its combination of extreme optical-infrared colors, high proper motion, andlocation near the crowded Galactic plane (b = -4.2 deg) likely contributed toit having evaded detection in pre-Gaia surveys.
