445-3rd-Avenue-0809.jpg
While this one-bedroom at 445 3rd Avenue in Gowanus may not look that different from most recent condo projects, for some reason it feels nicer to us. It could be the large wall of windows or the clean, modern kitchen. Because of the prewar shell, the ceiling height’s also a little more generous than you’re likely to find in a new construction project. None of that means the seller will necessarily be able to achieve the asking price of $399,000, but the 639-square-foot apartment’s only been on the market one day, so give it some time.

  1. It is a tenement and it is way overpriced for that location.
    Funny my Grandmother lived in a tenement like that in Sunset park, 5 railroad rooms, 2 windows in front, 2 windows in back and paid like 90 bucks back in the day…..

    Hard to even comprehend that a tenement could be worth anything in the 100’s of thousands. I like them, but we all know that deep down they were built as tenements and will crumble (if ever) as tenements, no matter what any realtor says.

  2. The nice thing about the reno is that they turned an 8-family of narrow railroads into an 8-family with (relatively) expansive living/kitchen rooms, stretching the full width of the apartment. They aren’t gigantic, but they feel bigger than a typical 12-foot wide apt. in these kinds of buildings. Good light from the 4-windows-across, too. (I have been in this building.)
