Property Description for 170 Skillman Ave

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.

Williamsburg | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Equal parts family-friendly and millennial haven/nightlife destination, Williamsburg offers the best of all worlds. Whether by night or by day, the ‘Burg has endless options for every type of personality and interest--which has only increasingly become the case after the neighborhood was rezoned in 2005. With the floodgate opened for more varied types of businesses, Williamsburg saw one of the highest rates of development in the past decade than any other part of Brooklyn. 

Referred to as “Little Berlin” for its late night and club-oriented nature, Williamsburg works as hard as it plays. Apart from the Clubland concentrated around Wythe Avenue, there is also a slew of offices (like 25 Kent Avenue, a sprawling eight-floor, 500,000-square foot waterfront building) and co-working spaces such as WeWork, The Yard and Green Desk that make it an ideal location for the corporate-, startup- and tech-oriented set. 

With more offices setting their sights on this part of Brooklyn, it only makes sense that more people want to live close to where they work. Apart from your average walk-up apartment, W-burg has famously become home to numerous condos along the waterfront that continue to grow and expand in concert with the businesses and corporate hubs that have entered the environment. 

Even with its many and undeniable changes, however, Williamsburg remains an arts-friendly community, particularly with regard to music and literature. While DIY spaces have come and gone, certain staples have persisted to become institutions that still provide a place for up and coming musicians to perform. On the literary front, long-standing indie bookstores like Spoonbill and Sugartown and Book Thug Nation have paved the way for others to cross the river, namely McNally Jackson Books.
