A Private Terrace Residence by the Williamsburg Waterfront

Within Austin Nichols House, a landmarked building on the North Williamsburg waterfront, Residence A602, a split two-bedroom home, is distinguished by its rare 280-square-foot terrace and nine oversized windows that frame open-sky views and fill the interior with natural light. The result is a uniquely calm and refined living experience-where indoor comfort meets outdoor space in one of Brooklyn's most architecturally significant full-service buildings.

The layout is designed for balance and ease, with well-scaled rooms, quiet separation of sleeping areas, and 10'7 ceilings that enhance volume and airiness. The terrace functions as a true extension of the living space, expanding daily life outward and offering a private setting for dining, lounging, gardening, or simply unwinding. Its scale and proportion make it a genuine feature, not an afterthought-rare at any price point, exceptional at this one.

The chef's kitchen is beautifully detailed in both form and function, featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, and a suite of premium appliances, including a Café counter-depth French-door refrigerator, Bertazzoni five-burner stove and microwave, Asko dishwasher, and an in-unit LG washer/dryer combo. The peninsula island allows for counter seating and effortless flow into the living and dining areas, making the space equally suited to entertaining and everyday ritual.

Life at Austin Nichols House is defined by service, scale, and history. The building offers more than 30,000 square feet of amenities, including a two-level waterfront fitness center, a landscaped roof terrace with skyline views, a resident lounge, coworking and private conference rooms, a theatre, a playroom, and an on-site garage with direct elevator access. 

The building's position along the promenade provides instant access to the East River Ferry, parks, and the North 5th Street Pier, while Trader Joe's is across the street and Whole Foods is just a short walk away. Bedford Avenue dining, cafés, specialty markets, boutiques, the L train, and an ever-evolving food and cultural scene are all within easy reach-yet inside the residence, the experience remains quiet, insulated, and composed.

Originally built in 1915 as a waterfront warehouse and brought back to life by architect Morris Adjmi, Austin Nichols House is one of the few landmarked structures on the Brooklyn shoreline, seamlessly merging historic character with modern design and full-service convenience. Its scale, presence, and architectural integrity set it apart-not just in Williamsburg, but citywide.

This is not a typical two-bedroom condominium. It offers space to breathe, a meaningful connection to the outdoors, and the rare pairing of private terrace living with full-time staff, amenities, and exceptionally low monthly carrying costs. For the buyer who values elegance without excess and calm without compromise, Residence A602 is a singular opportunity.
