132 S. 1st Street ni townhouse ya kisasa yenye chumba cha kulala vieri na bafu tatu, iliyoko karibu na Bedford Avenue katikati ya Williamsburg - imeondolewa, imejengwa tena, na kuwa bora zaidi kwa hilo.

Tembea kupitia foyer yenye milango miwili na nyumba haikusubiri uombe: mwanga unashuka moja kwa moja kutoka kwenye skylights za jua mbili za ghala kwenye dari zilizokamilishwa na mbao kubwa, kukupitisha karibu na kisiwa cha Vipp cha futi 12 chenye jiko lenye majiko matano, ukuta mzima wa kabati la Polyform lenye oveni mbili, friji na freezer za ukubwa kamili, na moja kwa moja kupitia ukuta wa glasi wa nyuma kwenye bustani ambayo itakufanya usahau uko Brooklyn.

Juu, skylights bado zinaendelea. Bafu mbili za pili nyuma zinashiriki bafu yenye dirisha yenye bathtub kubwa ya kuoga ambayo ni ya kutosha kukutafsiri kubaki humo milele. Nusu ya mbele ya sakafu ni suite kuu: nafasi nzuri ya kabati na mvua yenye plaster ya Venetian ambayo inaangaziwa kutoka juu na skylight nyingine, kwa kuwa bila shaka.

Sakafu ya chini inaongeza chumba cha kulala cha nne, huduma kamili ya kufulia, uhifadhi mkubwa, bafu kamili, na chumba cha burudani chenye skylight ambacho kitakufanya ujisikie vyema kuhusu kumiliki projector.

Miele, Polyform, Kohler, Buster & Punch, Vipp, Vola. Kila bafu ina sakafu zenye joto. Hakuna kona iliyokatwa. Utajua hilo mara tu unapoingia.

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.
