Welcome to 78 South 1st Street, Residence 22: a recently renovated, flexible home in a 1911 pre-war co-op on a quiet Williamsburg block between Wythe Avenue and Berry Street, just a 4-minute walk from Domino Park and the East River waterfront.
The layout is what sets this apartment apart. It is setup as a two-bedroom or as a one-bedroom with a dedicated home office, so you can set it up around how you actually live and work. With both north and south exposures, natural light comes in from both ends of the home throughout the day. The open kitchen and dining area keeps the main living space connected and easy to entertain in. The apartment was recently renovated and is ready to move into.
The building offers a laundry room, a shared courtyard, and bike storage. As an HDFC Co-op this unit does have an income restriction of $118,680 for one person and $135,600 for a family of two. This property is a 29 unit self managed HDFC co-op with an extremely low monthly maintenance of $432 and that figure includes the unit's real estate taxes and just 10% flip tax. Please note that the income restriction and maintenance figures above are from 2025 and will be updated soon.
The location puts you at the center of Williamsburg. Domino Park is a 4-minute walk away, Trader Joe's on Kent Avenue is about 7 minutes on foot, and the restaurants, cafés, and shops along Wythe Avenue and Bedford Avenue are right around the corner. Getting around is easy. The Bedford Avenue L train is 0.4 miles away, the Marcy Avenue J, M, and Z trains are just under half a mile, and the G and L at Metropolitan Avenue are 0.65 miles away. If you'd rather commute by water, the North 5th Street and South 8th Street ferry landings are each about 0.4 miles from the building. This is a rare chance to own a renovated, light-filled home in one of New York City's most sought-after neighborhoods, at a monthly cost that is very hard to find anywhere nearby.
