Condo of the Day: 262 Bond Street, #2
One of the Cobble Hill Lofts is up for resale. This 2,100-square-foot upper unit originally sold for $1,349,000 when the conversion hit the market in 2007; now the current owner is asking $1,499,000. We really like the combined raw-meets-modern aesthetic of the place, and the monthly charges are still low at $498. What do you…

Adventures in Warehouse Conversion: 262 Bond [Brownstoner]
We saw this house during the BKLYN designs thing. It was part of the dwell magazine house tour. It thought it was gorgeous and so interesting…really neat materials used.
The block is kind of ‘eh’. It does have a lovely roof deck though.
When they were first being shown I slipped and fell on that hard metal staircase after coming in from a rain-soaked roof deck. Boy did that leave a mark.
Loved the layout but a bit too pricey and thought I’d feel claustrophobic after a while being stuck in that back apt with the only light coming in through that atrium.
We looked at this unit when it went on the market last February. The price was $1.6 then. It is very nice and a good use of space. The top floor is open so walls need to be put in to make 3 bedrooms and the back room would have no windows. So it could only be a legal 2 bedroom. We though then, as we do now, that the condo is not worth more than the owners bought it for during the peak. The walk through the projects to get to the condo from the subway is not the prettiest walk either. If you want an open space, a private setting away from the street (you can’t see the street at all from the back unit) and to be in a small condo bldg, then it’s good for you. But I think the price should be around what it was bought for when it was new.
Great Space, not too thrilled on the block though.
I didn’t see to many windows, maybe on just 1 wall in the front.
would be dark to me, plus, I would like some fresh air, not manufactured fan air…..
I walk past this place several times a week. The outside is really nice-looking — very distinctive. The street is AWFUL, and Bond Street is two very long blocks from Smith. On the plus side, you are one block from a public pool.
Is this really an ‘upper unit’? I thought was more the interior unit. With a common courtyard and all windows face into the courtyard? and wouldn’t front unit be looking into you all the time?
DeLepp, you’re right, it’s not Cobble hill at all. It’s actually Carroll Gardens. Bond st. is right next to the canal.
I really love this loft-I must not be well! But seriously, this is one of the few modern buildings where I love the layout and there is enough room to play with. I even like the spare aesthetic of the facade. The brick warms it up and I love that as well. Sadly, I will only be able to afford it if Rupert Murdoch for some insane reason leaves me a lot of money.
