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.

  1. Someone please explain the “dining room” on the floor above the kitchen between the bedroom and the bathroom.

    Who the heck is transporting food and dishes up-and-down those stairs for every meal?

  2. if it’s NYCHA next door they pay an average of 384 a month per family. You would pay 4,542 plus maintenance, assuming an 800K mortgage. But I think the authentic Tuscan touches are easily worth it.

  3. “…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.”
