Condo of the Day: One Main Street, #3A
Given that this is the best building in Brooklyn’s most expensive neighborhood, we were a little surprised to see a price cut come over the wire, but then we looked a little closer at Apartment 3A at One Main Street in Dumbo. It’s 2,198 square feet according to the floorplan, but in the photos it…
Given that this is the best building in Brooklyn’s most expensive neighborhood, we were a little surprised to see a price cut come over the wire, but then we looked a little closer at Apartment 3A at One Main Street in Dumbo. It’s 2,198 square feet according to the floorplan, but in the photos it underwhelms. Maybe it’s a matter of staging, but it’s hard to see someone shelling out the asking price of $2,389,000 (down from $2,500,000) when this place at 30 Main Street can be had for $1,585,000. Waddya think? This place just need a spruce-up or does the price have to come down?

I think this is overpriced – but I have friends who have an identical layout and great taste, and their apartment looks amazing. Lots of space, great light and the layout actually works (kitchen entry and all). To answer the initial question this needs a spruce up AND to come down in price. Then it would be worth considering.
Dumbo is so damn loud!!! Do these places have sound proof windows?
Miss Muffett says it all. Bid what you can afford on any listing you desire that is priced up to two times that amount. Over the next couple of years, that ratio will approach 1. But 2 is where we are today.
^ uh… youre serious?

Spacious layout but who wants to pay over two million dollars for an apartment where you walk right into the kitchen? That’s just gross. Even middle-class folks don’t like that much less folks who make enough to afford this kind of price. just absurd.
So your guest walks in, and they put their bags down on the kitchen counter? So declasse, but then I guess it doesn’t matter to those who keep a TV on the floor and collect mismatched plastic chairs.
Brokers we’ve been working with have told me recently that the market is suddenly a very different place than it was just one month ago. All of a sudden, the phones have stopped ringing as much, everyone is getting nervous, etc. Sadly, some sellers are now being forced to sell due to job loss, financial hard times, etc. So, I think anything that was priced pre-meltdown needs a price cut, and very likely a significant one, regardless of condition. For sure, poor staging (as with this place) is a terrible mistake in this climate – one needs to work as hard as possible to make a sale, esp at this price point.
nothing says “luxury apartment” like an old tv sitting directly on the floor.
Oh, and that kitchen…
Need I say more.
Love this tidbit from the listing: “Dumbo has a wonderful hometown neighborhood feeling.”
