Condo of the Day: 70 Washington Street, #4S
In case yesterday’s Condo of the Day at 45 Main Street was a little too rich for your blood, perhaps this 1,262-square-foot pad around the corner at 70 Washington Street will be more within reach. Priced at $1,190,000 (less than $1,000 a foot), the two-bedroom loft has 11-foot ceilings and monthly charges of just $379…
In case yesterday’s Condo of the Day at 45 Main Street was a little too rich for your blood, perhaps this 1,262-square-foot pad around the corner at 70 Washington Street will be more within reach. Priced at $1,190,000 (less than $1,000 a foot), the two-bedroom loft has 11-foot ceilings and monthly charges of just $379 per month. The FSBO, however, has some competition from another unit down the hall that’s almost exactly the same size and is asking just $1,100,000. Which is a better deal?

Holy trollishness here. Considering the sale price of the other units in the building, more specifically the S line, maybe they are pricing knowing people are going to lowball the offers. You want spectacular views, go to the roof area that overlooks Manhattan and Brooklyn. Hell, you want exclusivity, pay for one of the private cabanas up there. I believe the Lexan bookshelves are perfect for the space (although overstuffed). Open, transparent shelving that doesn’t block the natural lighting. Bathrooms look beautiful with what looks like glass tiling. 5 minute bike ride to Manhattan – not bad. We’ll see what they get, but I wonder how many people here actually could afford what they think it should be, never mind what the sellers are asking. Or is it just Brownstone Brooklyn hating?
minmin – i totally agree. i was reading the description and kind of puzzled by highlighting the shelves so early. and then i saw them and thought – yuck! they look awful. Sagging, a weird shelve that is open and useless below. it’s like a bad dormroom experiment.
the asking prices in this building are consistently delusional.
The exterior of the building is gorgeous. The unit itself is blah and definitely not worth than 850K. I can’t believe they’re asking over a million for no views, one bedroom, and those crappy plastic shelves. And in DUMBO of all places, the most overpriced neighborhood in the entire city.
No way they’re getting even close to that price unless the buyer is a complete idiot.
I’ve been in an exact duplicate of this apartment. It’s nice but it feels like you’re in a newly-constructed hotel. There is an entire absence of charm except for what you might be able to do with furniture and rugs.
The doormen are nice. The elevator is a little slow. The hallways echo like a mother.

Not if you have grow lights…
I like the apartment well enough, but not at that price. I thought the plexiglass shelves sounded cool, until I noticed the sagging….
…but in response to the comment about windowless home office spaces being “totally wasted space,” I would say, not always. Some of them get indirect natural light (clearly not this one); and if the price is right–not this case!–it really is a space to kit out like a library or something. I once had a long useless hallway in an apartment. (Really useless: it deadended!) Useless, that is until I lined one side of it with bookshelves.
Oh man! Can’t you find a worth location? Bridges on 2 sides, and the BQE on another… Every deaf owners in the building probably havn’t heard that the market is tanking!… What?…What did he say?…
subway access is good F, C,A and 2,3–and I believe it is zoned for PS 8–which is pretty good
no supermarket is a HUGE drawback
i think aesthetically it is a nice nabe
