81 Grand St # 2

Welcome home to one of Williamsburg's most architecturally distinctive offerings. This sun-drenched 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom duplex at 81 Grand Street delivers the kind of light, volume, and finish level that is genuinely rare in the rental market. The moment you walk in, the scale of the space stops you. Soaring double-height ceilings open to a dramatic clerestory skylight that pours natural light deep into the living area throughout the day. Wide-plank white oak hardwood floors run throughout both levels, and a sculptural cascading ring pendant chandelier anchors the kitchen and dining area as both a design statement and a functional centerpiece. The chef's kitchen is fully outfitted and exceptionally finished, featuring floor-to-ceiling white lacquer flat-panel cabinetry, a generous waterfall quartz island with bar seating, a mother-of-pearl mosaic tile backsplash, and a full suite of stainless steel LG appliances including a range, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and French door refrigerator. Whether you cook daily or entertain occasionally, this kitchen handles both with ease. The open-plan main level flows seamlessly from kitchen and dining into a generously proportioned living room, all framed by oversized black-frame windows that track the sun from morning through afternoon. The layout gives you room to breathe without sacrificing the connection between spaces. Upstairs, the second level opens to sweeping city views and two private terraces -- your own outdoor escape above the Williamsburg rooftops, whether you want to host or simply unwind. The primary bedroom suite is quiet, well-proportioned, and thoughtfully detailed, with direct terrace access. The second bedroom is equally bright, with city views and good separation from the primary. The bathrooms continue the home's commitment to quality finishes. The primary bath features a wall-hung toilet, a floating walnut vanity with white stone countertop, a large mirrored medicine cabinet with integrated lighting, and a frameless glass sliding shower enclosure finished in the same mother-of-pearl mosaic tile as the kitchen. Large-format light grey floor tiles complete the spa-like feel. The stacked LG washer/dryer is also housed here, fully in-unit, for maximum convenience.
