Condo of the Day: 1 Tiffany Place
We’ve always loved the exterior of 1 Tiffany Place, a five-story former warehouse that was converted to 70 condo units in, we believe, 1987. As for this particular unit, a two-bedroom, two-bath place currently asking $880,000 $840,000, the look and feel is a little too “new traditional” for us, but it’s clearly a well-renovated and…
We’ve always loved the exterior of 1 Tiffany Place, a five-story former warehouse that was converted to 70 condo units in, we believe, 1987. As for this particular unit, a two-bedroom, two-bath place currently asking $880,000 $840,000, the look and feel is a little too “new traditional” for us, but it’s clearly a well-renovated and cared for apartment. The price (which also includes a free parking space) also looks in line with what other similarly-sized (1,095 1,195 square feet) apartments in the building have sold for. Does it sound reasonable to you? See for yourself at the open house this Sunday from 3-4:30.

I used to live on Tiffany, but across the street. The BQE is dirty. If this apartment faces over the BQE then don’t plan on opening your windows, ever.
The neighborhood is great if you really like walking. But to buy something upscale over there doesn’t make sense to me. Resale could be a big problem.
Very few living in One BBP will be walking to the subway except in an emergency. The walk is not bad, just four blocks on Joralemon Street to Boro Hall where there are many lines. But mostly, people there will drive, they will be among the non-subway riding class and of course they are hoping that the city imposes congestion pricing so that the riff-raff will not clog their route in and out of Manhattan. But comparing this building, which is in the middle of nowhere, to One BBP is nuts.
The B61 stops about a block away and goes to Jay St/Borough Hall. Or to Fairway/Red Hook in the other direction. Yeah, I know, that’s just out of the question! But anyway, I like this neighborhood a lot, but I wouldn’t want to be on the facing the BQE side–I like to open a window once in a while without so much noise and soot. There are plenty of eating option on Union/Columbia/Henry and a short walk puts you on Court or Smith. I DO think the walk to the subway is shorter than from One Brooklyn Bridge, but not by much.
Petebklyn, how do you figure it’s closer than One Brooklyn Bridge? Unless you’re strictly talking about to the F line. One BB is far closer to Borough Hall and all the lines there. It’ll also (possibly one day) be right on the edge of a beautiful, large park. Having said that, I wouldn’t want to live there either as it’s an uphill haul to get anywhere if one is walking or cycling.
it is .5 mile to subway…comparible walk to living many blocks of UES of 1st/York avenue. And distance to subway doesn’t seem to be hurting pricey sales at 1 Brooklyn Bridge Park which is further. Not everyone needs to have 10 restaurants around corner because they can’t waddle more than a few yards to stuff themselves.
Also zoned for P.S. 29. , has parking space included, and faces toward Manhattan not BQE.
So unless all goes down the drain with stock market, etc..
not bad pricing.
this place is no where near Ikea
I think you lack vision, broadwayron.
i looked at a place a block or two away from here last may. Theres some cool stuff on columbia street and theres more and more stuff showing up. The highway is imposing tho.
If you work at Ikea, you couldn’t afford to live there.
