We know a heartwarming story when we come across it, and we’re happy to share this one with you. It’s called “History is a Simple Tale”:

Many, many years ago a man bought a building. He became a father. And then a grandfather. Down through each generation the building was passed. And today it is ready to be passed on once again. As a new building. A residential building. To you.

So goes the marketing lingo for The Heritage at Park Slope, a 21-unit condo on 2nd Street between 4th and 5th avenues. And guess what? People are buying it, for around $800 a square foot (NateFind even reported a price increase on a unit a few weeks ago). The pitch’s nostalgia trip probably has a lot to do with the building’s brick-face design, c/o Karl Fischer. Durukan Design took care of the interiors, which sport “custom Italian kitchens” and bathrooms with “soaking tubs and separate glass-enclosed shower stalls.” History’s not coming cheap here, but maybe the success of the non-newfangled design has a lesson to teach other condos?
