As the center of Williamsburg becomes more desirable and more unattainable as a result, developers and designers have looked to the southern and eastern reaches of the neighborhood. The latest example can be found at 43 Meserole Street, a newly constructed four-story condominium where sales have just launched. The eight apartments within consist of five one-bedroom simplexes (some with private balconies), a garden duplex with a multi-level private backyard, a one-bedroom duplex, and a two-bedroom penthouse duplex.
Upon entering with the touch of a fingerprint, one will be struck by the oversized casement windows that fill every apartment with light. Between the generous cabinetry in the open kitchens and the custom-built closets in the bedrooms, there is no shortage of storage space. All homes have vintage-inspired bathtubs with claw-foot tubs and Victorian-style pull-chain toilets, yet come with smart home features like an Amazon Echo, a Nest thermostat, Somos speakers, and a Roomba. Grand Street hot spots like Le Barricou, Huckleberry Bar, and Bushwick Country Club are a short walk away, and the nearby Hewes Street and Broadway subway stops make for an easy commute anywhere.
A one-bedroom simplex is listed for $759K, and the garden duplex is listed for $1.599 million. At an average of $1,186 per square foot, 43 Meserole Street comes in just under the Williamsburg median of $1,233 per square foot for one-bedroom condos (per CityRealty listings). See more listings here.
