Condo of the Day: 395 Smith Street
Even though the 14-unit building at 395 Smith Street went condo over a decade ago, the sponsor is just now getting around to selling the 1,090-square-foot duplex penthouse apartment. The price? $750,000. If the apartment had recently been renovated, this price would not seem unreasonable to us, but the place looks like a 1980s-era rental…

That said, some buyers may be attracted to the fact that the sponsor only requires 10% down—of course, you have to find a lender in this environment that’s cool with that.

Love the name “The Smith Regency “
If it were 300K it would be 1988 right now.
If the unit is in the rear, the F/G train proximity might not be too bad. It’d definitely need some aesthetic reno work — those cabinets/closets/shelves are pretty yuck — though you’d be surprised what some DIY effort could do with this space pretty cheaply. Not sure if the price is right though … If it was $300k I’d buy it right now. 🙂
completely gross location…i mean unless you like the F/G train rumbling across the street. …it’s the ungliest stretch of smith street.
believe this unit was on the market before. saw it maybe 4 or 5 years ago via some small bklyn realtor..
Since when does a three or four story building have a “penthouse”?
1:01, what he means is that directly across from this bldg is the point where the Culver Viaduct ends and the F&G trains go back under ground . . . in other words, there are above ground subway tracks directly in front of this building.
the 3-d floorplan is pretty cool.
what a stupid comment brownstoner. any condo, new or old, can be had with 10% down. and as long as you have good credit a 90% loan, even a jumbo, is easily obtainable.
This is one of ugliest buildings I have ever seen.
