The turn of the century apartment house at 582 2nd Street in Park Slope was converted from seven rentals to five extremely luxurious condos last year, and now the building is sold out, according to reps from Town Residential. Construction began last year at the development, which is named the Bennett House after the building’s architect, Thomas Bennett. The fifth and final unit, a 1,503-square-foot two-bedroom duplex priced at $1,695,000, went into contract last week. In total, the building will bring in more than $8,000,000 in condo sales, according to Town.
The family-sized apartments have two to four bedrooms each and occupy whole floors or more, ranging in size from 1,396 to more than 1,600 square feet. The windows are large and the ceilings high. Finishes include Vermont Ash hardwood floors and Calacatta marble countertops. Ramon Maislen from Phasa Development developed the four-story building, an ornate limestone Renaissance Revival constructed in 1909.

The four bedroom layouts are awful also. Who wants to walk their guests past the kitchen to get to living room.

I guess you can put shiny higher end finishes on a small box and it becomes luxurious.
You all beat me to the kitchen. Awful, just awful. check out the layout, not luxurious at all.

Better in some of the other units, but no way can what is pictured be called a “kitchen.” As is typical these days, the owners probably get a second “bedroom,” which is usually not a real bedroom, in lieu of a real kitchen.
OK, nitpicking here.
Isn’t it bad design to have the refrigerator right up against the stove? Not only do you risk lighting your sleeves on fire from opening the fridge (especially from a high BTU pro stove) but you have no intermediate counter space to put things taken out of the fridge.
Only wondering because I’m designing a kitchen and trying to work this stuff out.
The developer would have made more money if he had a good layout, which could have cost the same amount to build. That’s bad business.
