1 Hanson Place #14A-Living-Dining Room-NYC

Today’s condo is at 1 Hanson Place, aka the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Building, aka the clock tower that looms over the Brooklyn skyline. The building is home to some seriously luxe, big-ticket units — this isn’t one of them, but it’s still quite a nice one-bedroom, on the 14th floor.

There’s a nice view from up there, to be spied through the two good-sized windows in the good-sized living room. The ceilings are high, the floors are a nice dark walnut. The kitchen is sleek and attractive, with Viking appliances, a Lavastone counter and lacquered cabinets.

The listing mentions “prewar details” — what those might be is anyone’s guess. There’s a half-bath in addition to a full one off the master bedroom; the half-bath has a washer and dryer. All told it’s 824 square feet.

The building doesn’t lack for amenities: There are three common terraces, a children’s playroom, a gym, bike and stroller storage, a live-in resident manager and a 24-hour doorman. For all that you pay common charges of $782.87 a month; taxes are $649.34 a year.

There’s also a “special assessment” of $169.27. (We presume that’s a monthly fee for a year, but the listing doesn’t say.)

You know the location: Right by BAM, Barclays Center, and practically every subway line in the city.

The brokers are Tariq George and Ronell Kirkley of Halstead. Note: There’s an open house Sunday from 1:30 to 3 p.m. if you want a closer look.

The asking price is $899,500. Does it seem like a good deal to you?

  1. The original detail is the extra high ceilings, the original concrete beamed ceilings, the original style design of extra large windows etc. Non of which you get in new construction. The lobby of course has original mosaic tiles and columns and stonework that is worth the trip to see.
    Of course it is not “Brownstone” original detail, but there is still a lot of original detail throughout the whole building.
