Listing Notes

132 S. 1st Street is a four-bedroom, three-bath industrial minimalist townhouse tucked just off Bedford Avenue in the heart of Williamsburg - stripped down, put back together, and better for it. Walk through the double-doored foyer and the house doesn't wait for you to ask: light drops straight down from two passive solar warehouse skylights onto original beamed ceilings and wide-plank floors, pulling you past a 12-foot Vipp island with five-burner range, a full wall of Polyform cabinetry with double ovens, full-sized fridge and freezer, and directly out through a glass rear wall into a garden that makes you forget you're in Brooklyn. Upstairs, the skylights are still at it. Two secondary bathrooms at the rear share a windowed bath with a soaking tub large enough to make a case for staying in forever. The entire front half of the floor is the primary suite: smart closet space and a Venetian-plastered shower lit from above by yet another skylight, because of course. The ground floor adds a fourth bedroom, full laundry, massive storage, a full bath, and a skylit rec room that will make you feel better about owning a projector. Miele, Polyform, Kohler, Buster & Punch, Vipp, Vola. Every bathroom has heated floors. No corner was cut. You'll know it the second you walk in.
