Condo of the Day: 675 Sackett Street, #405
This 1,400-square-foot condo at 675 Sackett Street in Park Slope traded for $1,100,000 back in 2006 and is now back on the market with an asking price of $1,250,000.

We don’t care much for the exterior of the building but the interior of this two-bedroom apartment looks quite nice. The private terrace is nothing to sniff at either. Since the building has only been around since 2004, the common charges are still quite low too.

To me, it seems fair to say that Park Slope is bounded by 4th Avenue, 15th Street, Prospect Park West, and Flatbush Avenue.
And it’s broken up into 3 areas… North (above union); Central (Union to 9th); and South (9th to 15th)
What’s wrong with that? It’s not like saying St Johns and Rogers Avenue is “Prospect Heights”
Actually seeing the free flat screen throw-in a lot, tybur6. I guess once you’ve destroyed the wall mounting the bracket, nobody wants to deal with it anymore. I’m always like ‘whatevs, its not even the brand/model I would want, so who cares’. But its funny how many times I have seen it at open houses this year.
Really like the whole apartment – great kitchen as has been commented on (red would not have been the obvious choice in my mind, but it works very well), and I love the terrace. Also I really like the dark floors – anyone know what type of wood that it or how they created that rich, dark color?
But I have one minor (well, okay $600k) gripe. If you want to cheat on a $600k condo and call 4th Avenue Park Slope, that’s one thing, but if I am going to shell out an extra $600k, I don’t want the broker playing with the borders of neighborhoods. Call it what it is – at this price point, everyone is doing their homework.
Why are there effing tax abatements on a luxury condo building? Is this why the city is on the brink of bankruptcy, the schools have no money, and the parks department is shedding workers… just sayin’
Given that a 1500sq.ft. duplex in the building just went into contract for $825k, this is a stretch, even if it is a whole 3 whopping stories higher than the one in contract. Silly price for a bleh looking building too close to 4th ave.
The 421a is usually 15 years, dibs. 10 years between 14th and 96th in the city, and some areas were given a 25 year abatement, but everything I have seen in Brooklyn has been 15.
“large flat screen TV is included!”
Well, that got me. I was on the fence, but they threw in a $1,000 TV. I couldn’t have afforded both the $1.25 million *and* a TV.
So the comment about the low charges is meant to reflect a tax abatement, right???
Doe anyone have any experience as to what happens to taxes when the abatement runs out? Are they 15 years????
..and everyone concurs that this is considered part of Park Slope now? Just asking.

Depends if you’re buying or selling.
