Condo of the Day: 163 Washington Park
When we first took at look at the four-unit condo conversion at 163 Washington Park in Fort Greene back in July, there were no interior photos to work with. Now we’ve got a couple to work with. While we’re not on board with all the aesthetic decisions (like the exposed brick fireplace), the slate counters…
When we first took at look at the four-unit condo conversion at 163 Washington Park in Fort Greene back in July, there were no interior photos to work with. Now we’ve got a couple to work with. While we’re not on board with all the aesthetic decisions (like the exposed brick fireplace), the slate counters with white country cabinets is a nice change from granite and bland wood that you see in most of these conversions. If this ground-and-parlor-floor duplex is really 2,432 square feet, then the asking price of $1,395,000 is in the right ballpark on a per square foot basis. As the case of 302 Washington Avenue (which has been on the market for over a year) shows, though, there are definitely psychological barriers in this part of town to paying over a million bucks for only partial ownership in a brownstone. The other three units in the building are already spoken for, though, so we suspect this one’ll go pretty soon.

what an outrage. do these people have no shame?
1:59 so that means 1,395,000 for 1200 sqf plus a basement and garden. right on the ballpark brownstoner?
I saw the place: it’s garden level and cellar, and the actual garden is included in sq footage.
Yeah, this layout seems like a big waste. Garden level (does NOT appear to be a basement) could have been made into a very nice bedroom floor. Instead, two bedrooms and the living room and kitchen are crammed upstairs.
And there’s not even a full bath downstairs. Bad plan, IMO.
1:33 is right this is a garden level and basement (cellar). The lower level has a dug out (sp) made into a small patio. On the garden level you have to walk a bridge over the dug out patio to reach the garden.
On Park Place bet Wash and Underhill, an almost identical layout but at 1700 sf was listed for 795K. Also a brownstone conversion.
1:33, look at the floorplans — it’s a garden/parlor arrangement. (normally you’re right, though, that “rec room” = finished cellar)
It’s a garden apt duplexed in to the basement based on the description of the lower floor being a rec room.
I can’t believe how much this is! Holy Tacos BatMan!
Who are the ad wizards who came up with this one?
$1.4MM to live in a basement is a good deal????
