About This Property

Perfectly positioned along the North Brooklyn waterfront, the iconic Austin Nichols House at 184 Kent Avenue in Williamsburg offers an extraordinary lifestyle defined by design, comfort, and history. This bright and generously sized split two-bedroom split two-bedroom home blends industrial charm with modern elegance, featuring soaring 11’8” beamed ceilings, refined finishes, and partial views of the water and Manhattan skyline visible from the living area. The expansive open living and dining space, framed by tall triple windows and herringbone-patterned tobacco-smoked oak floors, creates an inviting setting bathed in natural light throughout the day. The open chef’s kitchen is richly detailed and enhanced by brand new premium white matte-lacquered custom cabinetry, complemented by brushed Caesarstone concrete countertops, a hand-painted backsplash, Kohler Purist chrome fixtures, and a suite of top-grade appliances including a Bertazzoni 4-burner gas range, integrated Smart-tech Dacor refrigerator, Asko dishwasher, and Sharp microwave. The serene primary suite offers oversized double windows, a custom-built walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath adorned with Pietre D’Italia Nero mosaic flooring, honed Gioia Carrara stone walls, and a sleek glass-enclosed shower. The secondary bedroom, with generous closet space, sits privately on the opposite side of the home, adjacent to a second full bath with soaking tub and elegant finishes. A welcoming foyer with a large closet and in-unit washer/dryer completes this thoughtfully designed layout. Originally built in 1915 as a grocery warehouse, later repurposed as a bourbon distillery, and reimagined by renowned architect Morris Adjmi, Austin Nichols House is among the few landmarked buildings on the Williamsburg waterfront. Spanning an entire city block, it features over 30,000 sq ft of resort-style amenities including a waterfront fitness center, landscaped courtyard and roof deck, residents’ lounge with catering kitchen, co-working areas, children’s playroom, screening room, music rehearsal space, Zen garden with fire pit, and on-site garage. With full-time staff, a live-in superintendent, and direct access to the East River Ferry, North 5th Street Pier, and waterfront parks, this residence offers the very best of North Williamsburg living — where architectural heritage meets modern luxury.

Agent's Note

From Curtis Bain. Details about the apartment are drawn from the listing information provided through RLS by Nest Seekers LLC.

Beamed ceilings at 11 feet 8 inches are the feature that sets this 1,000-square-foot two-bedroom apart, and that height gives the main rooms more volume and leaves more room to decide where furniture goes.

Living and dining share one open space framed by tall triple windows and herringbone oak floors. That openness makes the rooms feel connected, though cooking, working and sitting all happen in the same area. The kitchen has a Bertazzoni 4-burner gas range, a Dacor refrigerator, an Asko dishwasher and a Sharp microwave, with Caesarstone concrete countertops, a hand-painted backsplash and Kohler Purist chrome fixtures. The cabinets are new matte-lacquered custom work.

The primary suite has oversized double windows, a custom walk-in closet and a bath with Pietre D'Italia mosaic flooring, honed Gioia Carrara stone walls and a glass-enclosed shower. The second bedroom sits on the opposite side of the home, with generous closet space and a second full bath with a soaking tub. You'll find the washer and dryer in the foyer, which also has a large closet, so laundry stays in the apartment.

The building has an elevator, a concierge, on-site management and garage parking, and it also has a bike room and a package room. Pets are allowed. Shared spaces include a gym, a roof deck, a courtyard and a garden, and residents also have a lounge, a game room and a children's playroom.

North 5th Street Pier and Park is about 1 minute on foot, and the East River is about the same distance, which puts the East River Ferry close by. Trader Joe's is about 2 minutes away, and the Bedford Av L train is about 11 minutes on foot.
