Red Hook Townhouse Project Not Flying Off Shelf
Apparently buyers are not willing to pay a kingly sum for the new Tuscan-style townhouses in Red Hook. Four of the newly-constructed homes at 93, 95,97 and 99 King Street hit the market last August at $1,300,000 while a fifth was priced at $750,000. None of them have sold to date, prompting two price cuts…
Apparently buyers are not willing to pay a kingly sum for the new Tuscan-style townhouses in Red Hook. Four of the newly-constructed homes at 93, 95,97 and 99 King Street hit the market last August at $1,300,000 while a fifth was priced at $750,000. None of them have sold to date, prompting two price cuts in the last three months that, Curbed noticed earlier this week, have brought the asking price on the four larger properties down to $999,000. The main living spaces with the concrete floors look kinda cool (as long as you don’t place a premium on natural light) but the upstairs bedrooms aren’t cutting it in the looks department for us. Plus, these houses are only 2,000 square feet, so the new asking price only brings the cost down to $500 per foot.

This puts the car in carbuncle.
are these new construction?
the impression i got from the post a few weeks ago that it was a conversion. Although, it looks like that top part is an addition.
Regardless – bad layouts, less than ideal location, too much $$$
The angle of the photo gives the impression that the massing of these “townhouses” echo the towers of the housing project. I’m sure that I’m crediting way more design intent and creativity than was actually present during the conceptual stages of this project.
Wait, those are new? Sheesh.
It would be okay if they were old, converted-into-residences, buildings since they’d be more “picturesque” than ugly.
But if they’re new, that means they made conscious decisions to uglify the street AND overcharge for them.
Tuscan? Ummm….
Don’t forget that there is ONE CLOSET IN THE ENTIRE HOUSE, and it’s off the kitchen.
“I still can’t get over how the best space in the house holds your car. ”
Seriously.
Do you get a car when you buy one of these places?
Red Hook is awesome, but it’s going to be a long time before it’s worth that much to live next to the worst thing about it (or anywhere in nyc really)
The living room is very long- long enough to have a dining area by the kitchen (which in the staging they actually do). Why they would label an upstairs bedroom a dining room is beyond stupid- and confusing. I still can’t get over how the best space in the house holds your car. How fabulous that door would have been as a feature of the living room.
“Who the heck is transporting food and dishes up-and-down those stairs for every meal?”
The help. People who live in million-dollar Tuscan villas should have servants.
