Roomy Loft in Converted Cobble Hill Factory Building Has Space for All the Kids

Today’s condo is a three-plus bedroom unit with 2,400 square feet and a loft-like, high-ceilinged living space that’s large and attractive. It’s in the Westcott, a former cheese factory at 25 Bergen Street in Cobble Hill.

They’ve preserved the original wood beams, which is a nice rustic touch that makes for a distinctive feature. There’s a 30-foot wall of windows overlooking Bergen Street, so light isn’t gonna be an issue, at least not on this floor. The kitchen, which has a Viking range, looks pretty nice, though a closeup would be useful.

There are three bedrooms downstairs. There is also a room behind the kitchen on the top floor that could be used as a bedroom, although it lacks a window and is therefore not a legal bedroom.

The listing, from Terry Naini at Town Residential, hedges at calling the loft a four-bedroom. It contains a disclaimer about consulting an “attorney, architect or zoning expert to make a determination as to the number of rooms in the unit that may be legally used as a bedroom.”

There are three full baths, an assertion that requires no fine print. There’s also quite a large common space downstairs; in the picture it’s set up as a playroom, which seems a good use for it, though there are others.

There are built-in shelves and cabinets in the living room and bedrooms, including a wall of drawers and cabinets in the master bedroom. There’s central air conditioning and a washer dryer. No outdoor space, though the building has a common roof deck, as well as storage space.

This unit was available for rent over the summer: It went up in June for $13,000 a month, according to StreetEasy, then later dropped to $12,500. Still nobody bit, and the owner apparently decided to sell.

The price is steep, at $2,850,000, and the monthly fees aren’t low either: $1,280 a month in common charges and another $1,342 in taxes. There’s an assessment of $755.70 in place through April 2016.

Think the ask is overly ambitious, or is the seller likely to get it? Like the place?
