Description

157 Berry Street is a 20-foot-wide two-story single family townhouse with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Light and airy Scandinavian vibes prevail in this jewelbox townhouse located on a most coveted Williamsburg block. Originally constructed in the late nineteenth century, the home is a swell combination of carefully considered modern appointments and warm accents from a bygone era.

Immediately upon entry, an open concept living space, kitchen and dining area is graced by idyllic light through East and West exposures. The kitchen, complete with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances opens seamlessly out into a private garden -- this is a hub for easy entertaining and social gathering, both indoors and out. Timber beams frame the ceiling, a design driven peek into the sturdy bones of the home. There is a spacious windowed bath also on this level, complete with a steam shower.

Upstairs, find a spacious master bedroom with a lofted area, ample closet space and additional upper level storage. A second private outdoor terrace abuts the master and overlooks your peaceful private garden below. Toward the front of the home, find a second spacious bedroom and additional storage. A calm light pours into both rooms through well-appointed skylights. A second windowed bathroom can also be found on this floor.

Located on a quiet block in the heart of Williamsburg and just two blocks from Domino Park Green Space and the East River waterfront. Enjoy close proximity to McCarren Park as well as Bedford Avenue with all of the excellent shopping, restaurants and experiences that North Brooklyn has to offer.
