266 Berry St, New York City, NY 11249

Description

Spanning seven levels, 266 Berry Street is the result of a deeply personal undertaking. Every detail was executed without shortcuts. It reflects a level of engineering, persistence and investment rarely achieved in residential design. Positioned at the top of the hill, in the middle of a wide pedestrian-only block just moments from Domino Park, the home enjoys an uncommon sense of openness and calm within Williamsburg. Built anew from the ground up, with new front and rear facades, conceived around a seamless indoor-outdoor relationship, its architecture is shaped by proportion, natural light, and thoughtful continuity rather than excess. Nothing was rushed. Every decision was deliberate, balancing engineering and design with equal care. Every material was chosen for its performance, longevity, and aesthetic purpose. The result in a home whose depth of infrastructure is felt in its comfort, safety, and consistency.

01 Retreat Level
A flexible lower level designed as a private sanctuary. Radiant heated floors, acoustically treated walls, a spa-inspired bath with a steam shower, and a custom glass-enclosed traditional sauna create an environment dedicated to recovery, focus, and restoration.

02 Garden Level
From gourmet to garden. At the heart of the home, a true chef's kitchen, organized with the clarity and efficiency of a professional workspace, flows effortlessly through a fully retractable NanaWall glass wall to a landscaped garden with a companion outdoor kitchen. Designed for cooking, dining, and gathering without interruption, the space blurs the boundary between indoors and out. A jewel box powder room completes the level.

03 Gallery Level
An expansive, voluminous floor designed with art and entertaining in mind. Clean proportions, a wet bar, and a structural glass terrace with direct access to the garden create a setting that supports both display and gathering with ease.

04 Guest Level
Two private bedroom suites designed for comfort and separation. Each is paired with a spa-like bath, with radiant heated floors, where custom millwork integrates seamlessly and opens to the bathing space, creating a quiet and self-contained level for guests or extended living.

05 Primary Level
A full floor dedicated to the primary suite. Calm, proportioned, and private, with a deeply considered bath, custom millwork throughout, a biofuel fireplace, and a discreet wet bar integrated within the dressing area.

06 Horizon Level
A fully realized open-air level conceived as an extension of the home. Featuring a SpaCube tub, outdoor shower, outdoor kitchen, irrigated landscaping, and half bath, the space is complemented by a fully motorized pergola offering privacy, shade, heating, and integrated lighting. Few, if any, residential rooftop spaces are executed with this level of detail and completeness, resulting in an environment that feels more akin to a private resort than a city rooftop.

07 Apex Level
A ship's ladder leads to the Apex Level, a simple elevated seating area with panoramic views over Williamsburg and the Manhattan skyline. A quiet place to take in the city from above.
