Ang 132 S. 1st Street ay isang townhouse na may apat na silid-tulugan, tatlong palikuran na may industrial minimalist na disenyo, na nakatago sa tabi ng Bedford Avenue sa puso ng Williamsburg - na alisin, muling ipagpatuloy, at naging mas mahusay dahil dito.

Maglakad ka sa foyer na may dobleng pintuan at hindi maghihintay ang bahay na itanong mo: ang liwanag ay bumabagsak mula sa dalawang passively solar skydome ng bodega sa orihinal na may beam na kisame at malalawak na sahig, na humahatak sa iyo sa isang 12-paa na Vipp island na may limang-burner range, isang buong dingding ng Polyform cabinetry na may doble na oven, buong sukat na refrigerator at freezer, at diretso palabas sa pamamagitan ng isang salamin na likurang dingding papuntang isang hardin na magpapalimot sa iyo na ikaw ay nasa Brooklyn.

Sa itaas, patuloy pa rin ang mga skylights. Ang dalawang pangalawang palikuran sa likuran ay nagbabahagi ng bintanang banyo na may soaking tub na sapat na laki upang magbigay ng dahilan para manatiling nandiyan magpakailanman. Ang buong harapang bahagi ng sahig ay ang pangunahing suite: matalinong espasyo ng closet at isang Venetian-plastered shower na may ilaw mula sa itaas mula sa isa pang skylight, dahil syempre.
Ang ground floor ay nagdaragdag ng ikaapat na silid-tulugan, kumpletong labahan, napakalaking imbakan, isang buong palikuran, at isang rec room na may skylight na magpaparamdam sa iyo ng mas mabuti tungkol sa pagmamay-ari ng projector.

Miele, Polyform, Kohler, Buster & Punch, Vipp, Vola. Bawat palikuran ay may mainit na sahig. Walang kanto na tinipid. Malalaman mo ito sa segundo na ikaw ay pumasok.

132 S. 1st Street is a four-bedroom, three-bath industrial minimalist townhouse tucked just off Bedford Avenue in the heart of Williamsburg - stripped down, put back together, and better for it.

Walk through the double-doored foyer and the house doesn’t wait for you to ask: light drops straight down from two passive solar warehouse skylights onto original beamed ceilings and wide-plank floors, pulling you past a 12-foot Vipp island with five-burner range, a full wall of Polyform cabinetry with double ovens, full-sized fridge and freezer, and directly out through a glass rear wall into a garden that makes you forget you’re in Brooklyn.

Upstairs, the skylights are still at it. Two secondary bathrooms at the rear share a windowed bath with a soaking tub large enough to make a case for staying in forever. The entire front half of the floor is the primary suite: smart closet space and a Venetian-plastered shower lit from above by yet another skylight, because of course.
The ground floor adds a fourth bedroom, full laundry, massive storage, a full bath, and a skylit rec room that will make you feel better about owning a projector.

Miele, Polyform, Kohler, Buster & Punch, Vipp, Vola. Every bathroom has heated floors. No corner was cut. You’ll know it the second you walk in.
