Property Description
Welcome to elevated contemporary living in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. 137 Maspeth Ave is a rare opportunity to own a meticulously reimagined home, masterfully renovated from top to bottom by its architect-owner. Spread over three levels and measuring 1,552 square feet, this single family consists of three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private garden and front yard with parking for two vehicles complete with electric car charger.
First Level: Modern Living with Park Views
Upon entry, you're greeted by oversized windows framing peaceful views of Cooper Park and bathing the space with natural light. Elegant oak herringbone floors set a sophisticated tone. A custom millwork wall unit and entry closet in the foyer offer both storage and display, ideal for showcasing art or collected objects.
At the heart of the home is a stunning kitchen and center island by Reform, inspired by Scandinavian architect kitchens of the 1960s and adapted for contemporary life. Designed for true culinary performance, the kitchen includes deep corner pullouts, utensil organizers, and eco-friendly Cosentino Silestone countertops. Premium appliances include a built-in Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, Miele induction cooktop, KitchenAid wall oven/microwave combo, and a Bosch dishwasher.
Garden: An Outdoor Sanctuary
An oversized glass door and fixed panel create a seamless connection between the interior and the private garden—a serene outdoor space perfect for alfresco dining or summer gatherings. Surrounded by a horizontal wood privacy fence and mature trees, the garden features steel decking and concrete pavers for low-maintenance enjoyment. The garden is also accessible from the Lower Level.
Second Level: Restful Retreats
Ascend the bold yellow staircase to find two bedrooms and a full bath. The primary bedroom, originally two rooms combined, spans the entire width of the home and offers unobstructed park views. A second bedroom faces the garden and includes generous storage.
Lower Level: Versatile and Light-Filled
Flexible and functional, the Lower Level offers space to work, create, entertain, or host overnight guests. With front and rear access, it functions as a private suite or creative studio. A wall of south-facing glass brings in abundant light, while a second room provides a comfortable guest space complete with multiple closets and a full bath. Polished concrete floors and wood-beamed ceilings enhance the character of this adaptable level. Plus, a mechanical room that neatly conceals a stacked washer and dryer.
Bathrooms: Spa-Like Finishes
Both bathrooms are finished in luxurious Nasco stone and tile with Duravit and Kohler fixtures, modern vanities, and wall-mounted toilets, creating a clean, spa-like atmosphere.
Renovation Highlights & Sustainability
This is a true top-down renovation, including:
New structural beams (first and second floors)
All new plumbing, sewer, heating, electrical, roof, and windows
Newly installed Canopy solar panels by Kamtech, offering substantial utility savings and a Solar Tax Abatement for the next four years
Location
Set directly across from Cooper Park, this home places you steps from green space, tennis courts, basketball, volleyball, a skate park, and children's playground. It's the perfect spot for morning jogs, dog walks, or relaxing afternoons outdoors—making this one of Williamsburg's most treasured hidden gems.
Don't miss this limited opportunity to own a uniquely designed, move-in ready, architect-crafted home in one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods. Welcome to 137 Maspeth Avenue—where elevated design meets parkside living.
