Given the amount of buyer interest there was in Parc Maison, a Windsor Terrace condo which sold surprisingly well this fall, we’re intrigued about the prospects for a nearby South Slope development on 16th Street. Seventeen units at 317 16th Street just went on sale via Brown Harris Stevens, and prices are a bit steeper than at Parc Maison: The cheapest, a 944-square-foot 2-bedroom, is asking $645,000 (common charges $258), while the most expensive, a 1,517-square-foot 2-bedroom duplex, is priced at $940,000 (common charges $378). The listings tout the gourmet kitchens, outdoor terrace/balcony space, a common roof deck and on-site parking. We spied folks streaming in and out of the open house this past weekend—anyone have a report?

  1. I too went to the open house here, first when Corcoran was handling and then last weekend with Brown Harris Stevens.

    The building won’t win any architectural awards, but it’s actually not a bad addition to the block. The through-wall aircon units aren’t fantastic, but I think the terraces and variations in form and color mitigate somewhat.

    The interiors are actually quite nice. The kitchens have a manufactured stone (CaesarStone?) counters, zebrawood cabinets, and some nice details like glossy red cabinet panels and blue glass backsplashes. The fridge and d/w are Bosch, the Bertazoni stove looks great. The bathrooms are equally nice… some of the units have walk-in showers with overhead shower heads. There are w/d hookups.

    I don’t understand the poster who said the living rooms are small…. it’s an open plan living/dining/kitchen and must be at least 30 ft long.

    There’s also a common roof deck and parking… overall not too shabby. We’re seriously considering buying here.

  2. Funny how out of 41 posts, only one of you have seen any of the apts.

    I DID go to the open house and I will say this:

    Overpriced – Maybe a little, but not by much. Would love to hear of better options in Park Slope for the same or lower price. I have not seen any.

    Ugly – Nothing worse than the other new developments in the Slope. We would all like to have 2-3m to buy a brownstone, but some of us “yuppies” will have to take what we can get.

    I didn’t put in an offer, but only because I needed a little more space and storage. The apts are really nice on the inside.

  3. I live on the block where this monstrosity is. The development is quite ugly. I haven’t bothered to look inside – obviously overpriced. That said, the street is great, area is great. Sure it’s not the No.Slope brownstone environment, but we’re not all that fortunate to have gotten in before prices skyrocketed. So the So. Slope is good enough. For all who have nothing but nasty comments, why don’t you find something better to do with your time.

  4. South Slope is done – the place has gone to crap. Just take a look at all of the fugly overpriced hype: the entire area is heading for a fall:

    Modern Townhouse – whatever who the heck developed that crap – http://www.corcoran.com/property/listing.aspx?Region=NYC&ListingID=950295

    The Vue – of what a parking lot

    Suite 16 – Boy do I feel like I am in Jersey

    An entire collection of Scarano Mezzanines – hey can I take out that plywood box and still get a CO?

    Most of the streets are filled with trash – who the heck would want to live there
