Condo of the Day: 392 3rd Street, #6
The Retreat is the name of a lovely old building at 392 3rd Street in Park Slope that was converted into condos back in 2009. The track record is a little murky but it looks like at least a few of the eight units have sold already. One that hasn’t is Unit #6, a 1,500-square-foot…

The Retreat is the name of a lovely old building at 392 3rd Street in Park Slope that was converted into condos back in 2009. The track record is a little murky but it looks like at least a few of the eight units have sold already. One that hasn’t is Unit #6, a 1,500-square-foot three-bedroom pad. Other than a bathroom that, while quite luxurious, is a little on the trendy side for us, the apartment has a lot of original detail and appears to have been renovated quite nicely. Another selling point: Common charges are only $248. On the flip side, the asking price is $1,495,000, which comes out to about $1,000 a foot.

If you love tenements, they don’t get any nicer than this.
It’s a perfectly nice walk-up apartment but they should not be asking that price. It really gets to the point of being absurd.
the maintenance is low because you get no services, not even an elevator. There are real estate taxes too. A coop’s maintenance always includes the taxes, but condos do not.
The renovation is nice, and the central air conditioning is great.
The layout is that of a railroad tenement. All the center rooms look out onto a narrow air shaft. It’s not terrible like the one we saw yesterday, but I do not consider it luxury housing.
