Condo of the Day: 445 3rd Avenue, #201
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…
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.

Behind the curtain are probably a few rolling clothes racks, a.k.a, the closet.
Yes, quite a wide angle lens. But place feels pleasantly airy. I like it. (Tho don’t like that office nook being right by the door. You’d have to avoid bumping into the chair every time you walk in. And, yeah, what’s curtain in bedroom?)
But where’s the floor plan? Corcoran normally has one.
Is the photo of the exterior accurate? The listing says central air but the exterior shot shows window ac units on each floor. Also, the living room and kitchen shots show 3 windows each. Even if they are overlapped by one, there would be 5 windows which doesn’t seem to jive with the exterior shot (unless those side by side building are joined from the inside). I can see why folks like this place, it does feel nicer and more spacious than most new builds but I have a feeling “liberties” are being taken with the photos.
What’s behind the curtain in the bedroom?
I’m guessing it is the toilet.
Very convenient for those 3:00am full bladder wake ups.
And those photos are absolutely stretched — esp. the kitchen shot — unless, of course, the cabinets really do meet the windows at a 75 degree angle.
kvnbklyn… The photo perspective or even stretching might have something to do with it, but the apartment is also the “rear” unit — so the windows may very well be wider in the back.
I wish I had and made more money — this is the sort of place I’d really like. (Though, not for $400,000!!)
Looks nice, although is it just me or is there something fishy going on with those photos? The windows on the exterior shot are very tall and narrow, but on the interior shot are much wider. Are these different window or did the broker stretch the photo to make it look more spacious (a common tactic in my experience)?
The reason it intrigues me, is because I don’t see too many apartments for sale down in this area. When I was looking Gowanus was near the top of my list, because I think it holds a lot of potential, but it seemed to be mostly homes for sale.
Yes, I think this is overpriced. But I still like it.
I’m not moving Gem! I love my place too much, even though this place is bigger! I’ve got everything I need right where I am.
Can’t find the Gowanus on the map. Did they build over it?

This place intrigues me
elaborate… what could possibly intrigue you about an overpriced converted tenement? what? can’t find the tub?
