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 at a, ahem, lofty $1,541 per foot. That’s pushing it even for something this nice, isn’t it?

mcKenzie…you should invstigate RE taxes throughout Brooklyn, they vary widely. Mine, on 2,560 sq. ft. are less than $2,000.
Oh, I forgot, I think it is worth 3.2 million or so. No way 3.9 million.
This is a pretty fabulous apartment. I would prefer this to a townhouse for a variety of reasons. first, the monthly maintenance will work out to a lot less than what one would have to pay on taxes, water, and maintenance on a Brooklyn house, two: it is all on one level, three: the incredible views, four: the convenience and security of living in a full-serve building.
If I lived here, I would probably sleep in the windowless room. Think of the perfect quiet, and because the building has modern hvac it would always be perfectly comfortable in that room. I just love it actually.
If a family of 5 cannot be comfortable here, then they are really looking for a McMansion somewhere, which is OK, the suburbs are cool. But you cannot expect to have the same amount of room in the city than in a town with an ninety minute commute each way.
Hmmmmm….Yes, private outdoor space would be the icing on the cake here, and at that price, it should be automatic. Ok, there’s a bone I’ll agree to pick as well. I still love it though!
Oooh – also, no private outdoor space at this price point is an absolute deal breaker for me.

This is what I said on yesterdays post:
ok – it has amazing views and great space am also hoping they throw in that copy of Us Weekly casually escanced on the “ladies vanity” in the bathroom”…
but um if I am paying 1.6 I want my own Washer/dryer in the apt and to live in an building that doesn’t look like it was leftover from the Lefrak Housing plan
I think maybe 1.2 moves this
Let’s get the record straight – I am casually commenting on these condos b/c like most posters here, that’s what we all do!
My problem with yesterday’s condo/coop was that it was in a horrifyingly UGLY building that was my only gripe oh! and that it didn’t have a W/D.
I said the condo will go for 400K less than asking and guess what with this condo I put my widget at $400K less than asking which for a place asking 4million is close to ask!
i firmly believe that families these days only wants a bathroom a bedroom cuz they dont want to deal with thei bulimic kids. im being serious. 1 bathroom a small family has never been an issue before until everyone needs their private eating disorder time these days.
*rob*
i saw this space. it felt really small. i have 3 kids, so 2 of them would have had to share a room – or give one of them the office (windowless bedroom). after we each took a room, the common area would have not been comfortable for all 5 of us. and from the price perspective – for $4 mil, i think a family with 3 kids should be comfortable, no?
Fair enough, and don’t get me wrong – I like mid-century modern and actually don’t like *excessive* period details (which can be oppressive). My ideal is a blend, but somehow this space is too sparse for my taste and while Nomi’s point is well taken that the building is pre-war, the interior looks to me like a lot of other cookie-cutter plain boxes a la new construction. But sure, the light and views are great. I guess the bigger question really is price and how many buyers there are out there for this kind of thing. Friends of mine trying to sell these days (with NICE places to sell in prime Brooklyn) are finding the market to be all but dead as buyers are incredibly resistant to current asking prices (and I count myself among that pool of buyers).
