About This Home

As of October 2025

Welcome to 225 S. 1st Street, a prime opportunity in the heart of Williamsburg. This versatile four-story building is perfect for first-time buyers, savvy investors, or end users looking to create their dream home while generating substantial rental income. Why get trapped in a $3M condo with high monthly maintenance fees and no return on investment, when you can have freedom to control your lifestyle in an entire building with income-producing units that help pay your mortgage?

Currently configured with a ground-floor commercial space and three residential floors above, the building is already income-generating. The well-established restaurant on the ground floor is leased at $6,000/month, and the spacious one-bedroom apartment on the second floor can easily rent for $3,000/month. That’s $9,000/month in passive income from day one.

All three residential floors are vacant and ready to reconfigure to your dreams. Renovate the third and fourth floors into a stunning duplex penthouse with a private roof deck and command $8,000/month in rent–– or take all three floors for a marvelous live/work family residence. Live your ideal lifestyle in a charming building in a great neighborhood and let the restaurant and second-floor tenant cover nearly $9,000 of your monthly expenses with potential to take over the second floor apartment as your family grows.

With low maintenance costs and tremendous upside, 225 S. 1st Street is a truly smart, and more practical choice. You’re not just buying space — you’re investing in your future. Whether you live in the one-bedroom and collect $14,000/month, or occupy the upper floors and collect $9,000/month, or use all three residential floors and get $6000/month from the restaurant, this property gives you flexibility, security, and serious return.

This is your chance to own a piece of Williamsburg with real income, real upside, and real value. Schedule a viewing today and see what smart investing really looks like.
