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.

  1. To answer the question about families in the Gretsch there’s a joke with the doormen that there is something in the buildings water system since there are so many new Gretsch babies.
    There aren’t many older children maybe 5 or 6 but there are a lot of infants and toddlers and more on the way.

  2. the gretsch is sooo not a box. and brownstones get sunshine?? compared to any apt? are you joking? the upper level apts here have stunning views and get amazing light. even a friend’s 3rd floor apt in the back is all windows and gets great light.

    you simply can’t appreciate this building without going into it. nothing box like about most of the apts. and it’s stunning. the average brownstone is a big fat snore fest compared to this architectural feat.

    and, i don’t live there. but, seriously, anyone who doesn’t get how special this place is ignorant.

  3. A brownstone at least has character, sunshine. Sod off. This is just a modern box. Click on any of the buildings advertised on the brownstoner home page. Modern boxes. Nothing special. Cookie cookie (the person who wrote “My cookies tend to be round” is a moron). Nice try at being snarky, but you failed since you’re obviously too dumb to not realize how that term has been used, for like ever.

  4. #1:03pm – really, if you are totally uniformed about something, you should keep your mouth shut. anyone who has been to this building could tell you that it’s remarkable.

    crawl back in to your garden apt in your crappy unrenovated brownstone, and leave the cool apartments to the cool people.

    btw – don’t all brownstones really have cookie cutter layouts??
