Description

Welcome to 170 Skillman Avenue, a meticulously gut-renovated two-family townhouse currently configured as a single-family home in the heart of Williamsburg. Thoughtfully designed for modern living, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence spans three beautifully finished levels – including a fully renovated rec room with its own full bath, which is not included in the square footage – and features a rare private backyard oasis. On the garden level, exposed brick adds warmth and character to the spacious living room, while the adjacent dining area flows into a stunning open kitchen equipped with high-end Viking appliances, ample storage, and direct access to your private patio – perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The fenced backyard features a lush grassy area and a mature, fruit-bearing grapevine – an unexpected and charming find in Brooklyn. A stylish powder room completes the first floor. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms feature wall-to-wall built-in closets and share a luxurious full bath with a soaking tub. The fully finished basement includes a second full bath, a laundry/mechanical room with washer and dryer, and flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, guest area, nanny quarters, home gym, or media room. Additional highlights include custom millwork, central heating and cooling, and tasteful finishes throughout. Located on a quiet, tree-lined block just off Graham Avenue, 170 Skillman is minutes from neighborhood favorites like Variety Coffee, Cozy Royale, Mesa Coyoacan, McCarren Park, and McGolrick Park. The Graham Ave L train is just two blocks away, offering a quick commute to Manhattan and across Brooklyn. With significant unused Floor Area Ratio (FAR), the property can potentially be expanded to 2,124 square feet – adding remarkable long-term value and flexibility. This turnkey home blends classic Brooklyn charm with modern upgrades and exceptional functionality – rarely available in such a prime location.
