70-Washington-Street-012810.jpg
This 12th-floor corner loft at 70 Washington Street was originally purchased from the sponsor back in 2006 for $1,629,200 and has just come up for resale with a price tag of $2,100,000. We love the looks of this place (and the size—it’s a very comfortable 1,737 square feet), but $1,200 a foot seems like a reach to us when there are 17 other listings in the building at an average price per square foot of about $900. To be they’re not all on high floors with these views, but still…If this goes for more than $1,900,000 we’ll be surprised.

  1. I do not think that 3 bathrooms for this apartment is really necessary. It seems today people need a bathroom for every person that lives in the house, plus one for guests.
    Geez, we did a family of 4, plus guests and survived in 1 bathroom, it really isnt that hard.

    Id rather have an extra closet that is in use 24/7

  2. Agree with DitmasSnark and Dumbone that this is the view i understand to be threatened. I am not a broker, much less a competing one, but have a friend in this building with this view on a lower floor. Seems like a lot of people are jumping ship in this building before the view goes… makes sense. Nice building but i would not pay more than 800-900 a Sq ft with all the Dumbo development projects lurking out there. Too bad they can’t landmark Dumbo, I feel like some of the new building going up are making it look like the Upper East Side.

  3. > Hm….competing broker much?

    That could be. It doesn’t negate the validity of the comment though. It would be a shame to lose the view – which to my own preferences – is the only reason to be in Dumbo.

  4. does the “home office” lack a window? is that why this is listed as a two bedroom?

    (also, i’m wondering if anyone on this board can tell me precisely how long it takes to walk to the A train from here and how many cigarettes a day i should smoke if i can’t make it in that amount of time?)
