172 N6th Street

A Light-Filled Architectural Townhouse by Bowerbird Architects

A study in light, volume, and modern craftsmanship, 172 North 6th Street is a newly constructed single-family townhouse, conceived as a refined and thoughtfully designed urban retreat in the heart of Williamsburg. Set on one of the neighborhood’s most sought-after blocks, the four-story residence spans around 4,000 square feet, balancing architectural clarity with warmth and ease.

The home’s brick masonry façade offers a timeless street presence, grounding the design in craft while subtly referencing Williamsburg’s industrial past. Inside, the house unfolds around a sculptural curvilinear staircase that acts as both visual anchor and connective spine. Wrapped in lime-washed walls, the stair introduces texture and softness, allowing light to shift and settle throughout the day.

Oversized Reynaers SlimLine 38 floor-to-ceiling windows line each level, drawing abundant natural light deep into the interiors creating a continuous dialogue between inside and out. Long length, solid Character Oak wood floors, custom millwork, and carefully selected stone finishes establish a calm, cohesive palette that feels considered rather than overt.

The kitchen is designed for both daily living and entertaining, featuring Wolf, Sub-Zero, Bosch, and LG appliances, custom cabinetry, and striking Calacatta Vagli Oro marble. It opens seamlessly to the landscaped garden, allowing interior spaces to extend naturally outdoors. Bathrooms are equally thoughtful, appointed with carefully selected tiles and stone finishes, and Kast fixtures, creating serene, spa-like environments.

Outdoor living is integral to the experience of the home, with a private rear garden and a green roof terrace finished with concrete pavers offering moments of openness. calm and striking views of Brooklyn and beyond. Fully new and meticulously executed, the residence features modern mechanical systems, a new certificate of occupancy, allowing for a truly turnkey experience.

Architectural yet inviting, grounded yet luminous, 172 North 6th Street is a bold architectural statement and a singular offering within Williamsburg. Confident in its design and uncompromising in its execution, it stands apart as a home of lasting presence, clarity, and distinction.
