Description

This rare 25-foot wide, brand newly constructed townhouse in the heart of Williamsburg is unlike any other. Designed for comfort, but aesthetically impressive with state-of-the-art technological adaptations and grand spaces, this important property establishes a new standard for refined living.

This magnificent 4,700-square foot residence must be seen to be believed. The super-quiet home features herringbone-patterned pine floors throughout, hand hewn from structural beams of the iconic Domino Sugar Factory with wood that can?t be found anywhere else in the world except the Whitney Museum of Art. Meticulously designed for modern, stylish living, the home features an exquisite selection of finishes. This next-level ?smart home? is also equipped with state-of-the-art conveniences including a Savant home automation system, delivering Lutron lighting, heating, cooling, video entry, fresh air, a Sonos sound system, and security that can all be controlled from your handheld device from anywhere on earth.

Garden Level Enter through the impressive mahogany front door to discover the spacious and airy kitchen, the living-and-dining space, and powder room. The Henrybuilt kitchen is a chef?s dream, appointed with refined custom crafted walnut cabinetry and the finest Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, including a five-range cooktop with a commercial-grade hood that pulls from the roof. Dine or lounge in the sprawling yet relaxed living space. A wall of sun-flooded south-facing windows and sliding doors leads out to the courtyard garden which features a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen and nine Sonos speakers, providing a wonderful oasis for al fresco dining.

Lower Garden Level Accessed via the dramatic stairway with its central light well and custom-made iron railings, this level is perfect for entertaining. With 10-foot ceilings and a sprawling open floor plan, this space boasts a Henrybuilt wet bar fully-equipped with refrigerator and freezer, as well as generous storage, a full-sized laundry room, and a full bath. Glass doors open to a tranquil recessed garden.

Second Floor Above the main living area you will find a spacious floor dedicated to one lovely north-facing bedroom suite, and two more secondary bedrooms that share a bathroom featuring stylish CLE moroccan clay tiles. A laundry closet with LG washer and dryer completes this level.

Third Floor This entire floor is dedicated to a lavish Master Bedroom Suite. The light-filled bedroom with a romantic stone Mendota gas fireplace faces south. A bank of customized Henrybuilt walnut closets separates it from the chic en-suite bathroom. Beyond the dressing area and private water closet there are back-to-back, his-and-her vanities, and an enormous steam room with Italian Carrara marble herringbone tiles, multiple shower heads, and a deep, sumptuous soaking tub.

Fourth Floor Flooded with sunlight from all directions, this floor features an observatory flanked on either end by two spacious terraces. Complete with a full bathroom, this space can be used as a home office, media room, gym, or artist?s studio.

Quiet and discreet, North 1st Street is in the heart of Williamsburg?s artistic and cultural epicenter, just moments from the best boutiques, restaurants and entertainment that Brooklyn has to offer. Just two blocks to the new Whole Foods and Apple Store, the nearby L train and East River Ferry take you right into the heart of Manhattan, the G train connects you to brownstone Brooklyn, and the M and J trains make it easy to get to other downtown Manhattan neighborhoods. While managing a townhouse can sometimes feel overwhelming to a new homeowner, this house is delivered with two years service provided by Top Hat Townhouse Services, akin to a ?virtual super? that can take care of all maintenance needs.
