Condo of the Day: 154 Broadway
After seven weeks on the market, the 1,280-square-foot loft at 154 Broadway in Williamsburg has lowered its ambitions with a price cut from $875,000 to $799,000. From where we sit, this now looks pretty attractively priced at about $625 a foot. What’s more, we like the minimalist finishes more than in most new developments. We’re…
After seven weeks on the market, the 1,280-square-foot loft at 154 Broadway in Williamsburg has lowered its ambitions with a price cut from $875,000 to $799,000. From where we sit, this now looks pretty attractively priced at about $625 a foot. What’s more, we like the minimalist finishes more than in most new developments. We’re not sure what’s been holding holding this place back: Could it be the second-floor location (above what we believe is a cigar bar)? Could it be the small number of units in the building? The 10-minute walk to the L train? Dunno. There was an open house on Sunday. Anyone check it out?
154 Broadway, Apt. 2 [Corcoran] GMAP P*Shark
I would not want to live here — bad air quality. There’s a ton of traffic on the Wmsbrg.
However, a v. quick trip to Manhattan over the bridge and yes the J/M/Z is the nearest train, just a few blocks.
southsider, according to the floorplan the interior space is 24×36, which works out to 864sf. even if you count the “storage unit” (which you shouldn’t), the total is still less than 1,000sf.
Kitchen Aid stainless is nice, but not top-o-the-line. The lack of a bedroom seems the bigger problemo. And since you have to have windows to legally declare a room a bedroom, building one out would screw up your light in the rest of the space. I think I will not buy it, that’ what I think.
the out door space is not included in the sq. ft.
I live a few buildings down and saw these apts a few months ago before they went on the market – they are HUGE – but no walls
Our bad, didn’t catch that outdoor space fudging…That obviously changes the whole analysis.
it’s annoying when (as here) brokers include terrace space in the listed square footage, especially when the terrace makes up such a large portion of the quoted total.
I would think you would take the JMZ from there, not the L. At least you could get on the JMZ.
It’s only $625/sf if you include the outdoor space.
Based on the floor plan, the space is approx. 800 sf with a 400 sf terrace. So the price is more like $1000/sq. ft…seems like a lot of money for what you get. Is the terrace really worth a $375/sf premium??
still, the finishes are much nicer than what’s out there…
shiny floors. i thought you DESPISED shiny floors?
