142 North 1st Street: Review and Ratings

between Berry Street & Bedford Avenue View Full Building Profile

Carter Horsley
Review of 142 North 1st Street by Carter Horsley

Dark and handsome, this 5-story building at 142 North 1st Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn was completed in 2014 and has 8 condominium apartments.

It was designed by Barry Berg.

It is about a five-minute walk away from a L subway station.

Bottom Line

A strong, dark, modern, rectilinear statement on the front and a Williamsburgian flurry of zig-zag windows on the rear.

Description

With an indented ground floor, a recessed top floor and three middle floors with two very wide, recessed, window bays, this building has a very strong, modern, dark presence on the street.

Its rear façade, however, is completely different: an accordion-like assemblage of narrow angled windows.

 

Amenities

The building has a keyed elevator.

Apartments

The townhouse unit is a two-bedroom, duplex apartment with a 27-foot-long living room with an open kitchen on the upper level and an office and recreation space on the lower floor. 

The penthouse is a two-bedroom unit with a 23-foot-wide living/dining room with an open kitchen and a 68-foot-long terrace and a small balcony off the master bedroom. 

Apartment 4B is a two-bedroom unit with a 33-foot-wide living/dining room with an open kitchen and its bedrooms have zig-zag window walls.

Apartment 2A is a two-bedroom unit with a 32-foot-wide living room with an open kitchen and a 24-foot-wide terrace off the master bedroom. 

Apartment 3A is a two-bedroom unit with a 32-foot-wide living room with an open kitchen and a small balcony off the smaller bedroom.
