Agent Description

History meets modern living at 242 South 1st Street, a former 1911 cheesecake factory converted into a boutique 4-story condominium. This sun-drenched top-floor triplex delivers the kind of space and character that simply can't be replicated in new construction.

The main level opens into a well-appointed kitchen with black granite countertops, GE stainless steel appliances, and generous cabinetry. A corner living area with southern and eastern exposures draws in light all day, framed by factory-sized windows and soaring 11-foot beamed ceilings.

A sleek tiled bathroom with an extra-deep soaking tub completes the level. Up one flight, a private rooftop oasis awaits. Open sky, city views, and space to entertain or unwind. The open mezzanine level serves as a generous primary suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath.

Above, a flexible top-level loft functions as a second bedroom or dedicated home office. Maple hardwood floors throughout. In-unit washer/dryer. Convertible two-bedroom layout. Positioned at the intersection of Havemeyer, Grand, and Metropolitan, you're steps from Williamsburg's best restaurants, cafes, and nightlife.

The Bedford Ave L and Marcy Ave J/M/Z trains are both within easy reach. Common charges for the unit are $579/mo. There is an operating assessment of $1,072/mo until April 2030, covering completed capital contributions for facade, window/door, and roof repairs. Please note, the original offing plan has 4D as a 4-Room/1-Bath. This home has been modified into a convertible 2-bed/2-bath.
