Condos of the Day: Goings-On at the Gretsch
Although it was only three years ago, the Gretsch was still one one of the earlier condo developments in Williamsburg to hit the market. The 132-unit conversion is also one of the nicer ones, in our opinion. (But, then again, we tend to like our new condos inside an old shell.) After Apartment 3B caught…
Although it was only three years ago, the Gretsch was still one one of the earlier condo developments in Williamsburg to hit the market. The 132-unit conversion is also one of the nicer ones, in our opinion. (But, then again, we tend to like our new condos inside an old shell.) After Apartment 3B caught our eye in The Times this weekend, we decided to check in on listings in the building in general. Turns out there are currently six apartments on the market, ranging in price from $515,000 to $1,350,000. 3B is a pretty gasp-worthy bachelor(ette) pad, but, despite its 1,480 square feet, would work too well for a family set-up. (Which raises another question: Are there many kids living in the Gretsch? We would imagine not.) The best deal, from where we sit, looks like Apartment 5B, which looks like the same layout as 3B but for a considerably lower price tag of $935,000.

I get my kicks above the waistline, Sunshine.
I believe poptart would be the more american expression.
Indeed I was calling the person sunshine. Perhaps muppet would have been better.
Penthouse: Busta Rhymes “sold it” to Fiddy Cent.
Are all the apt listed the south facing ones by any chance?
2.52 – he was calling you sunshine. I’m sure he wasn’t trying to claim brownstones get sunshine!
Doesn’t some rapper live in the Penthouse, there? Can’t remember who.
I really like this part of Williamsburg — it’s well removed from the hell that is Bedford Avenue, and retains a real urban funkiness.
I like that building, and I think its “luxury” features are more real than a lot of the new crap around there that’s offered at about the same price… which is to say everything around there, no matter how sheetrocked and fedderized. But is it unusual for that many listings to be up at the same time in a building that size? I know I was looking at Schaeffer a few months ago and I don’t think they had six listings… and that is a larger complex. Is there something going on at the Gretsch causing all these people to sell? Or is six listings not really that much?
Seriously, I don’t know.
lets see here….
buy a studio in the building for $515k, or rent one for $2000 a month?
Marcal is the real Williamsburg
