We have a sneak-peek at 66 North 1st St. in Williamsburg, a 21-unit factory restoration with a Robert Scarano-designed addition (which our friends at Gowanus Lounge have been following), expected to make its full public debut this week. David Maundrell, founder of aptsandlofts.com, the brokerage handling the listing, said the lower condos rock that exposed brick/ high ceiling/ original detail look, while the upper condos have private terraces and waterfront views. The bathrooms and kitchens, rendered above, are basically the same. Some units have mezzanines, which Maundrell noted are totally legal (unlike these babies). Prices in the first units to be released range from $499,000 for a 632-square-foot studio on the second floor to $1,045,000 for a three-bedroom, 1,291 square-foot duplex penthouse with a balcony and deck. There’s a common courtyard, but for around $55,000 buyers can score one of three private courtyards or four private roof terraces. Maundrell said he thinks the building will sell easily. “Warehouses in Williamsburg sell better than new construction,” he said. “It’s one of the last rehaps out there; there’s not many left.”
