Condo of the Day: Price Cut at The Simone
The Simone condos at 35 McDonald Avenue in Windsor Terrace is the only Bricolage design we can think of that we think is reasonably attractive.

The Simone condos at 35 McDonald Avenue in Windsor Terrace is the only Bricolage design we can think of that we think is reasonably attractive. And, so far, it appears to have sold reasonably well: 4 units have closed, 21 are in contract and another 9 are still on the market. The developers must want to wrap things up pretty badly though: They just cut the price on a two bedroom from $1,199,000 to $999,000. Given the 1,522 square feet of interior space and huge terrace, we’d think this would move quickly at the new price. Agree?
35 McDonald Avenue [Corcoran] GMAP
Ah, jets that make any day complete! That area could be described as “desolate” but also as a rare oasis of quiet (sort of a given with the magnificent swath of Green-Wood at one’s doorstep–a unique historical gem, not for everyone, but ravishing for those of us seeking to indulge our inner Morticia Addams). And it’s within walking distance to Holy Name School on Prospect Ave. if one wants to go the Catholic school route–this one is a solid choice and supported by some wealthy backers so will be even better in years to come…
hahahaha that’s awesome TW although honestly i’m surprised it’s as good as it is. I pity anyone who becomes addicted to the master bathroom. After all, one presumably has to be able to leave the apartment to go to work to earn the money to pay the mortgage!!!
This has to be one of the most poorly written listings on Corcoran right now. Borat would have done a better job. (I propose a new Brownstoner feature: Worst Composed Listing Of The Week.)
“From the walls of glass to the metal tower, The Simone is bringing a new meaning of luxury to this popular Brooklyn neighborhood.”
“Both bathrooms are a true retreat.”
“The master bathroom will be addicting.”
“For those moments after a long stressful day, relax in the spa-like secondary bathroom which includes a large soaking tub with jets that makes any day complete.”
Anon 8:13: please at least read the thread before posting in response. Your posting makes absolutely no sense.
The building is a 5 story elevator building. Not a walkup.
We live in 1915 3rd floor walkup, with a 1 year old. Yes, it is a PITA. We moved from a doorman/elevator building. However, the only thing we could afford that had both space (3brs) and original details was a walkup. We’ll tough it out for a few years, but I really miss my elevator…
Ba-zing!
Brownstoner, I walked a good stretch of E. 4th Street, which is just beyond brownstone Brooklyn, and was bowled over by the sheer # of properties for sale.
What’s doing over there?
What’s wrong with Greenwood? People are dying to get in….
to 3:32: obviously many people feel fine paying a big chunk of change to live across from Green-wood. buying a condo/co-op/house is not such a one-issue process. buyers have to compromise, and for some people outdoor space, or views or some other feature carries more weight than another. you may never live next to a Green-wood, but for others it is either a non-issue or a plus.
