Condos of the Day: 40 Sterling Place
The brownstone condo conversion at 40 Sterling Place in Park Slope somehow misses the mark for us in terms of style (it seems caught between modern and traditional, without really nailing either one), but the three apartments do seem to offer some nice clean, relatively open spaces (for a brownstone) for about $750 a foot,…
The brownstone condo conversion at 40 Sterling Place in Park Slope somehow misses the mark for us in terms of style (it seems caught between modern and traditional, without really nailing either one), but the three apartments do seem to offer some nice clean, relatively open spaces (for a brownstone) for about $750 a foot, which is not a stretch in this part of town. The unit on the second floor has already been snapped up, but the bottom duplex (which has the garden) is available for $1,300,000, as is the top-floor (plus roofdeck) apartment for $1,050,000. Anyone checked these out yet? Update: As one commenter (ever so politely) points out, this is a new construction project, something one might be forgiven for not picking up on based on the purposefully misleading facade photo on the listing (which has now been moved to the jump). Luckily we were able to get our hands on a more representative photo in the last few minutes (above) which shows that the facade, like the interior, falls into that chasm of bad taste that lies somewhere between old-school and modern.

Wow–how easy for all of you to sit there and make crazily hostile comments about a place you haven’t even seen in person. Yes, the bathrooms aren’t in the best taste, but they certainly aren’t in the worst, either. And for this price, to get a garden, three bedrooms and a huge, beautiful kitchen is almost inconceivable. Are you simply upset that you can’t afford this? I can’t think of another reason to sit there lobbing hand grenades. As far as the exterior, it fits in a heck of a lot better than one of those glass-and-steel condo behemoths going up all over the neighborhood. Short of doing a museum-quality copy of the other brownstones on the block, this is about as good as it gets, my friends…
I dreamt about Sarsgaard last night. I didn’t want to wake up…
Oh, and I almost forgot:
My meds.

Allow me to translate! Credit conditions are getting bad by the second. Soon you will see the sell-off in this junk. Also commodities got hammered today due to margin calls. I don’t see where housing gets better.

Man is Sarsgaard hot.
Who are Maggie Gyllenhall and Peter Sarsgaard?
I dunno, but a three unit condo sounds like a very dicey situation.
I think they underpriced the middle apartment (the one in contract) and overpriced the other 2 a little bit. Whoever got the middle apartment got a deal. Rooms are a bit on the small side, though you could easily knock down a wall and create a nice 2 bedroom.
Can one of those careless bicyclists please run into Maggie G? Please?
