## Property Overview

Set on a picturesque, tree-lined historic block in the heart of Williamsburg, 153 Ainslie Street is a rare offering: a townhouse that pairs meticulous, high-end renovation with the intact pre-war architectural character that makes Brooklyn townhouse living so coveted. Built in 1901, the home spans 2,736 interior square feet across three stories, plus a spacious cellar. Currently configured as a gracious single-family home, the property is zoned as a legal two-family residence per its Certificate of Occupancy—offering exceptional flexibility for an owner-user, multi-generational household, or investor.

Period detail runs throughout the home: soaring ceilings, transom windows, glass panel French doors, medallions, crown and overdoor cornice molding, bay window alcoves, wainscoting, paneled doors with original hardware. There is brand-new high-end engineered hickory hardwood flooring throughout—splash and scratch resistant—bringing a warm, cohesive foundation to every level.

The kitchen flows into an elegant dining room, a quiet parlor room, and a sun-filled front living room with soaring ceilings, bay windows and period cornices and moldings. The comfortable and elegantly restored historic full bath on this floor features a highly desirable reglazed original 1920s Art Deco bathtub with a characteristic apron front, a fully functional original chrome standing drain tower and classic black-and-white tiles, as well as new lighting, faucets & hardware, vents, sink & vanity, ceiling, and mirror.

Based on house sales in Williamsburg with the required listing and closing data. Sample sizes vary by metric.

These are two separate periods measured on different clocks — time to find a buyer, and time from agreed deal to closing. They are medians of different sets of sales and do not add together into a single "days on market" figure.

Sales data through July 2026.

Sale prices are the consideration recorded with the City in ACRIS, and each sale is dated by the day the City recorded it. A closing date reported to the MLS typically falls one to two weeks earlier. Recorded sales describe what has already happened and are not an appraisal, a valuation, or an estimate of what this home will sell for.
