Brooklyn

For some reason, you (or, we should say, we) don’t hear a lot about this building at 85 Hudson Avenue. We pass it whenever we’re driving home to Clinton Hill from Dumbo cuz it’s right at the end of Front Street. The design mission of this building is a bit lost on us: The exterior looks like an attempt to be traditional, except in this area that would mean more of an industrial look. And then the interiors are basic white-box, sheetrock specials with the odd traditional flourish here or there. And while the cobblestones and old houses in the immediate area are very charming and the view of the Commodore’s House sounds sweet, this also is quite a hike from the subway. Bottom line: We’re not surprised the price on this 816-square-foot one bedrrom was recently cut from $639,000 to $599,000 and wouldn’t be surprised to see it fall further before finding a buyer.
