About This Home

A rare opportunity to own a truly special single-family townhouse in the heart of Williamsburg. Custom built and thoughtfully renovated, this turn-key home offers a warm, design-forward take on Brooklyn living, blending natural materials, understated luxury, and an easy indoor-outdoor flow. Tucked behind a private ground-floor entrance, the house opens into a bright and expansive main level defined by wide-plank wood floors, exposed timber elements, soft tones, and an open layout that feels both refined and relaxed. At the center of the home is a striking chef’s kitchen with richly textured wood cabinetry, a large center island with seating, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a clean modern backsplash. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas, where the design feels casual yet elevated, with abundant natural light, loft-like openness, and a distinct sense of warmth and character. Large glass doors open directly to the backyard, creating a seamless connection between the interior and the outdoor space. This home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms with heated floors, including a spa-like bath with a steam shower. A skylit staircase leads to the second floor where 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms are bathed in natural light from 4 additional skylights, while the lower level includes a newly built fourth bedroom with natural light windows, laundry, and additional flexible space ideal for a gym, playroom, studio, media room, or storage. Outside, a large private backyard creates a true urban retreat, with room for dining, lounging, and entertaining, plus a rustic seasonal cottage that adds charm and flexibility. One of the home’s best features is its setting. It feels tucked away on a quieter street, just off the park, while still placing you at the crossroads of the best of North Brooklyn. McCarren Park, Domino Park, Williamsburg Waterfront, Bedford Avenue, the Bedford Av L station, and Greenpoint are all close at hand, giving the home a rare balance of privacy, walkability, and immediate access to everything that makes the neighborhood so vibrant. With the added convenience of a new supermarket opening one block away at Driggs and North 11th, the location can't be beat! Williamsburg's year-round Saturday farmers market is open just steps from the house. A true oasis in the middle of Williamsburg. As an added bonus, the property sits on a 20’ x 89’ lot and benefits from M1-2/R6A, MX-8 zoning, offering additional long-term flexibility and potential for future repositioning, expansion, or redevelopment. Protected Tax Class Property: only $4,400 per year!
