About This Property

Residence 3L at 185 Skillman Avenue is a showstopper — a generous two-bedroom, two-bathroom home with soaring ceilings, floor to ceiling windows, 129 square feet of private outdoor space, and its own storage unit. The living room flows seamlessly onto a terrace so expansive it feels like a true extension of the room itself, inviting al fresco dinners and easily accommodating a table for six or eight guests, with open skies stretching out to the horizon.

Floor to ceiling European windows and wide plank oak floors imported from Spain speak to a level of craftsmanship rarely matched anywhere in the neighborhood, or in New York City. The living and dining room opens directly onto the terrace, a quiet retreat for morning coffee or an evening unwind above the neighborhood.

The kitchen continues that high standard, with walnut Italian cabinetry by The Cut, honed Omani Beige marble countertops, and fully integrated Miele and Bertazzoni appliances. The primary suite is a true retreat, with a walk-in closet fitted with a custom system and a spa-like bath featuring a double vanity in Calacutta and white marble, an oversized medicine cabinet, radiant heated floors, and a glass enclosed shower. A second bedroom, equally bright, opens onto its own private balcony with open skies stretching to the horizon, and sits beside a full bath with a deep soaking tub, ideal for a guest or a home office. An in-unit washer and dryer and multi-zone HVAC complete the home with everyday comfort and convenience.

Every detail, from the marble to the millwork, reflects a standard of craftsmanship few buildings in Williamsburg, or the city, can claim.

185 Skillman Avenue rises six stories on a tree lined street in prime Williamsburg. It is a rare fifty foot wide elevator condominium with only eight residences and the amenities of a much larger building. A striking lobby of white oak paneling and glass block, a fully equipped fitness studio, a bike room, a private garage, and a package room with a remote intercom system for deliveries make daily life effortless.

Just two blocks from the L train at Graham Avenue, the neighborhood is defined by its dining and its walkability. Cozy Royale, La Locanda, Mesa Coyoacan, ChinGoo, and the local cafe Good Thanks are a short stroll away, and destinations like Lilia and Llama Inn are just minutes from your door. Morning runs in McCarren Park, afternoons on the East River waterfront, and evenings at live music venues, galleries, and independent cinemas are part of everyday life here.

Residence 3L is a rare chance to own an architecturally significant, collector worthy building at the heart of Williamsburg. Contact us today to schedule a private showing.

Agent's Note

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

The terrace opens from the living and dining room, and it has room for a dining table in warm weather. That changes how the main room gets used, since dinner can move outside without leaving the apartment. The second bedroom has its own private balcony and sits beside a full bath with a deep soaking tub, so the guest room or home office has a separate place to step out to.

The kitchen has walnut Italian cabinetry by The Cut and honed Omani Beige marble countertops. The Miele and Bertazzoni appliances are built into the design, so the room looks finished rather than assembled. I like how the work surfaces and cabinets carry the same level of detail as the rooms around them.

The primary suite has a walk-in closet with a custom system and a bath with a double vanity in Calacutta and white marble. The bath also has radiant heated floors, a tall mirrored cabinet for storage, and a glass shower enclosure. Those heated floors are worth noting if you spend a lot of time in the bath during colder months.

For daily errands, Foodtown and C-Town are each about 3 minutes on foot, and the Graham Avenue stop on the L is about 3 minutes away. Cooper Park is about 6 minutes on foot, and McCarren Park is about 9. Cozy Royale is about 2 minutes away if you'd rather eat out.

The building has eight residences and a bike room, garage parking, a package room, a gym, and outdoor grills and an outdoor kitchen. The apartment has a washer and dryer in the unit, central air, and hardwood floors.
