Red Hook Townhouse for Offsites & Team Days | Library + 2 Kitchens

A 1,500 sq ft Red Hook townhouse with two full kitchens, a floor-to-ceiling library, a sage-green living room with a working fireplace, and a backyard — set up to host small team offsites, planning days, and creative retreats in a real home rather than a sterile meeting room. The space feels lived-in, colorful, and book-filled, with the kind of warmth that gets people out of work-mode and into actual conversation. Good for: – Team offsites and planning days (8-15 people) – Leadership retreats and executive meetings – Creative workshops and brainstorming sessions – Quarterly planning, all-hands, and strategy days – Team cooking dinners or hosted meals as part of an offsite – Book club or salon-style gatherings The space, room by room: The dining room has a large table that comfortably seats 8-10 for facilitated discussions, working sessions, or shared meals. The kitchen, with a long reclaimed-wood table, blue-green cabinets, and abundant natural light, works as a second gathering space and is fully functional if your team wants to cook together. The library, lined floor-to-ceiling with books, is a natural breakout space for smaller group work or quieter conversations. The sage-green living room with a working fireplace is ideal for informal check-ins, more intimate discussions, or the part of the day when people just want to settle in. The backyard adds an outdoor option for breaks or fresh-air conversations. Why this works for offsites: – A real home, not a co-working space — teams actually relax here – Three to four distinct spaces means you can run a full day without staying in one room – Two full kitchens for catering, coffee, or team cooking – Quiet Red Hook block, far from office interruptions – Walking distance to great coffee shops, restaurants, breweries, and the waterfront for breaks or end-of-day plans – Free street parking and easy BQE access Logistics: 1,500 sq ft bookable across the first floor, with second-floor kitchen access 15 people max 5-hour minimum Free street parking Easy access to Manhattan via the BQE A note from your host: My husband and I are both journalists at major newspapers. We've hosted many productions, dinner parties, and small gatherings here, and we've found that this space works so well for offsites because sterile rooms in coworking spaces is sad. A real home produces the kind of honest conversations people are trying to have. I'm responsive, flexible, and happy to help coordinate catering, recommend nearby coffee runs, or just stay out of your way.
