This 19th-century townhouse on North 1st Street in Williamsburg has been thoroughly overhauled with rustic modern finishes such as exposed beams and brick and a custom metal staircase.
This 19th-century townhouse at 130 North 1st Street in Williamsburg has been thoroughly overhauled with rustic modern finishes such as exposed beams and brick and a custom metal staircase. Likely originally a wood-frame Italianate dating from the mid-19th century, the house is a whopping 25 feet wide with a brick veneer exterior.
Two marble mantels hint at its past; contemporary updates include white-oak floors, marble bathrooms, an egg-shaped deep soaking tub, Bosch appliances and zoned central air for heating and cooling.
Configured as an owner’s triplex over two one-bedroom floor-through rentals, the house offers 3,200 square feet and four outdoor spaces, including two terraces, a roof deck, and a landscaped rear garden.

The floor plan is hard to read, but the rentals appear to occupy the garden and parlor floors, with the three-bedroom, three-bath owner’s triplex taking up the top two bedroom floors plus a corner of the roof.
The existing asymmetrical facade has received a somewhat incongruous update with four new floor-to-ceiling windows on its upper levels.
The industrial-ish block offers no tree-lined splendor, but if you’re looking to live the Williamsburg dream it’ll give you that, with Bedford Avenue a half block away and the waterfront not far off.
Listed by Yuval Vidal of Compass, the house is asking $3.895 million. Worth it? How do you like the place?
