Condo of the Day: One Main Street, #9B
Are there still people around looking to buy a $4 million condo in Brooklyn? We’ll find out. A very large, corner loft in the premier condo building in Dumbo hit the market last week for $3,995,000. The stylish One Main Street three-bedroom weighs in at 2,592 square feet, putting the valuation of the asking price…

The stylish One Main Street three-bedroom weighs in at 2,592 square feet, putting the valuation of the asking price at a, ahem, lofty $1,541 per foot. That’s pushing it even for something this nice, isn’t it?

I wonder what the original owners paid for this place and will they reap a tremendous profit in this market? One never knows, you really have to love the views. I don’t know anyone who would really love living in DUMBO with all the rats running the streets in the night.
No, I take part of that back. The bedroom that adjoins the living rooms works well for additional common space. So, with one child, or maybe even two who don’t mind sharing a room, I think it would still feel spacious. Three kids — no.
>”i was there. i’m telling you all, the kitchen/dining/living room area is small!”
I agree — if I had three, or even two kids, for this kind of money, I would want additional separate common area. With one child, I suppose one of the bedrooms would do, though, even that would not be ideal.
more4less – i agree! as i said before, i was there. i’m telling you all, the kitchen/dining/living room area is small!
Another advantage to this building over a brownstone — no flights of stairs to maneuver, which could be an issue if it were an older buyer or anyone else with limited mobility. Not everyone prizes a backyard above all else.
I’ve been in other apartments in this building that feel cozy yet spacious — just because this owner went ultra-minimal doesn’t mean the buyer would have to.
(Plus, Bubbie’s downstairs! Hot and cold running pie!)
I’d prefer the same amount of space, much lower common charges, this Brooklyn location, and a buy back option, for more than HALF the price:

well, you get a lot of stairs and hallways in a brownstone. If you like to hang out on the stairs I suppose you could call it common space, but what a house has to offer is outdoor space. that is true. I’m sure people who live in apartments like this have a weekend house, so they really don’t need nor want yet more landscaping costs and hassles.
merchantress, that would be 1 lucky nanny / maid cause most maid’s qtrs are tiny (ie 6 x 10) and no to bad views
