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?

I agree wholeheartedly with the other commenters in just not getting the whole DUMBO thing. I mean whats the attraction?? Beyond killer views there is nothing there. I just dont get it. Its a fake neighborhood made up by David Walentes…down to a handfull of imported artists designed to bring some sort of bohemian flavor. Absurd.
I just hate those windowless alcove “home office” rooms. They are totally wasted space. Who in their right mind would pay anywhere near a million dollars for a one-bedroom apartment and a windowless “home office” for a second bedroom? Bubble-licious.
the massive Dumbo price premium vs. other BK hoods is a huge negative. To be the most expensive hood in BK, one would expect top notch sch, retail, subway access,….. View is the best though – cant argue that
more reasonable (not cheap) prices to align better with other prime BK hoods, no complaints with dumbo

I can’t speak for anybody else here but you hit most of the points.
Toadie, I agree. It would be a crying shame if this turns out to be worth more than the HOTD. The kitchen cabinets (or lack thereof) along with the hobo bookshelves kill this one. The pride of going home to an exterior like today’s HOTD alone should be worth more than this joint.
Curious–I don’t live in DUMBO but it seems like a pretty nice place to live if you can deal with the subway noise
Why the hatin’ on DUMBO? Is it a lack of retail, groceries, parking–or just simply a douchebag vibe that Brownstone Brooklyn has an aversion to?
On the FSBO’s NYT ad, an interesting choice for the photo to lead off with – a wall filled with sagging shelves that make it look like a grad student’s rental. In the website ad, it’s the Plexiglas bookshelf system is described like it’s a big selling point. Doesn’t look like a million bucks to me.
I’m going to be extremely confused if this winds up selling for more than today’s HOTD, as current appraisals suggest.
guess views are ~$1M per direction. these 2 units combined is around the size of the one yesterday and total 2.3M or 1.7M less. Yesterday’s unit has great views from both directions via it’s corner location or ~850k per view per direction.
agree w/ Snark, one has to have GREAT views if one is to drop this kind of cash in Dumbo else one is a dumb dumb
