There are now six two-bedroom listings up for the Columbia Street Waterfront condo 49 Woodhull Street, with prices running between $649,000 and $679,000. All come in around 1,000 square feet. This building isn’t going to win any beauty pageants, but considering the success of nearby developments 25 Carroll and 100 Congress, the neighborhood definitely has appeal to buyers. How do you think it’ll do?

@Combustiblegirl2. Thank u for clarifying. One additional scenario. So said condo unit owners, their respective guests, food delivery persons, etc. have to wait while a particular condo owner opens their floor? That’s not only time consuming, but having people standing directly behind me while waiting for me to open my “floor” feels like an invasion of my privacy/security. I don’t mean to negatively comment about these condos. I think their quite lovely sans the elevator.
I’ll chime in with my 2 cents on the 2 bath issue: I think 2 baths are absolutely necessary for 2 bedrooms; however, 2 bathtubs are absolutely unnecesary. It would be so much smarter to utilize 2nd bath space as a much smaller shower stall. Utilize the saved space for closet space and solve both problems. For folks with kids, like me, you need a bathtub for bathing the little buggers until they’re old enough to use a shower on their own and then the 2nd bath serves both guests and kids (I’ve never had a guest use a bath tub, but a private shower seems appropriate).
@vw Usually you have a key to “Open” your floor. Also it appears from the floorplan that there’s also a more traditional door into the units that likely leads to a stairwell.
Additonally, what happens when the elevator is out of order?
Pardon me for asking, but I’ve attempted to posit an answer to the following question for quite some time. How does an owner secure their condo when a communal elevator opens directly into same?
As exteriors go, it’s not terrible…but Fedders buildings have really lowered the bar.
That panoramic BQE view from the living room window is something else, though.
The market clearly places a premium on a second bath. I would venture to guess more than 75% of buyers looking for 2 beds, in particular current or future families of 3 or more, will not consider an apartment without 2 baths.
For this building, I think the developer was wise to make 2 bathrooms. Many families with 2 kids live in just these size 2 bedroom apartments. While it’s not a big deal for all 4 of them to share 1 bathroom, almost everyone I know with 2 kids would prefer a 2nd bathroom to an extra closet. Since this is zoned for a good elementary school, and is in a district with good middle schools, family buyers are probably going to be a good market.
the building took years to finish, various SWO and very angry neighbors… illegally town down homes etc… typical Brooklyn building process
The block itself is an odd mix, renters and very long timers… be sure to check out the painted over sign with Please CRUB your dog.
The other interesting thing is the balcony in the front. Not a bad idea normally, but this house faces the BQE as it raises from the trench. Beyond the pollution, nothing like spending a relaxing evening listening to truck gear breaking …
