Condo of the Day: 249 Varet Street

varetlofts1.jpg
There aren’t a whole lot of commercial condos in the more residential areas of Brooklyn but given the number of artists and other folks making a living off work-at-home creative pursuits in the borough the concept makes some sense. A couple that leap to mind from the last year or so are 20 Grand Avenue in Clinton Hill and 241 Norman Avenue in Greenpoint. Now you can add a third to that list: The Varet Lofts at 249 Varet Street in Bushwick. There are 16 units ranging in size from 940 square feet to 1,530 square feet and in price from $380,000 to $499,000. (Because of tax abatements, monthly common charges are less than $500 a month.) Details on the individual units still aren’t available on the project’s home page, but this listing for a 2,700-square-foot combined apartment for $795,000 surfaced on Craigslist last week. There was an open house last weekend, too. Did anyone go? UPDATE: An anonymous tipster sent some prices our way. Only the units on the first and second floor are currently available; you can see the prices for them on the jump. GMAP P*Shark
