Condo of the Day: Top of the Oro
Say what you want about the design of the Oro exterior (we’ve heard a wide range of opinions), but the views from the top are going to be pretty killer. So we were interested to see an open house listed this past weekend on the top floor in Unit 40F. With three bedrooms and three…
Say what you want about the design of the Oro exterior (we’ve heard a wide range of opinions), but the views from the top are going to be pretty killer. So we were interested to see an open house listed this past weekend on the top floor in Unit 40F. With three bedrooms and three baths, the 1,647-square-foot pad has definite family appeal too. The price of $1,610,000 is pretty high for the area, but there have been a couple of similarly-sized units at the nearby Belltel Lofts that have gone for around this price. We bet they’ll get within 10 percent of the ask on this one but, then again, we’re bullish on Downtown in general. (Disclosure: The Oro is a former advertiser on Brownstoner.)

Get real, this is a large apartment.
Plenty of space for a couple with two kids.
Your points are ridiculous.
It’s overpriced.
1:45: I am the idiot. There is no way a fmaily is going to live there — you will have the master BR, guest BR and an office/den. Two people max — 2 baths are all that is needed. If it HAD closets, the PR would be great but —
Three bedrooms means it’s designed for a family with two kids, or with one kid and one office/study, right? But the common area here looks too small relative to the bedrooms; given the layout (NOT the SF, notice I’m saying) it seems hardly big enough for more than two people to enjoy it at any given time, unless they’re specifically all doing the same thing. Or is the presumption that shared family time at this point is limited anyway, and that it’s more important for people to have their individualized private space in their bedrooms? Sad.
Anyone who would turn the third bath into a closet is an idiot.
The place needs closets, but it is also needs three baths. The ownere will need to make an extra closet in the master bedroom and on the end wall of the living/dining.
All glass facades make it tough to tweak the interiors.
I really really like some wall along with my windows.
1:04 pm, where can I find a townhouse for a similar price in the same neighborhood? Been looking and looking!!!
And to whoever said that some people prefer apartment living to townhouse living, that may be true — especially if you’re an older couple with empty nest syndrome — but then why would those people move here? Everyone I know who’s moved to brooklyn has done so because they wanted a home over a “pad”.
It has a POOL!
I would do without the powder room and make that a closet. With all that “grey” in the fp, there is 100+ sq ft of unusable space. And there are killer views but no terrace. A stretch…
According to my quick calculations it is about 1400 square feet (actual square feet).
It is not small.
