All things considered, things have worked out pretty well for the developers of The Sanctuary, the converted church and adjacent row house at 264 Cumberland Street in Fort Greene. The 13-unit project hit the market in May 2008, and by the end of the year five units were in contract. Since then, another five have been spoken for, leaving just three available apartments. To try to wrap things up, the asking prices on all three were reduced last week. There’s an open house on Sunday from 12 to 2 p.m.

  1. debate about exactly how many have sold aside, what does everyone think about that wild unit at the top of the church? every time I look at those photos I am torn between “that is rad!” and “how could you actually live in that?” in particular – love the stained glass – am weirded about by the notion of not being able to see outside one’s apartment.

    I actually did live in a convertered church a while a go that similarly had no way of seeing outside – all the windows were stained glass. it was way way bigger than this, but a total dump. I liked it at the time, but I was also 20 and willing to deal with a lot of craziness.

  2. “9.”

    Just because streeteasy says so? They also say 6 recorded. Is the webmaster that lazy? You’d think they want to brag about “9 SOLD”. What exactly does brownstoner mean by “spoken for”?

    I feel like Al Gore in December 2000.

  3. 9.

    One in contract.

    3 for sale.

    So that one in contract I suppose (according to you) could be at risk, but this seemed to be a great development with really nice apartments so it’s not at all shocking that they sold most of them.

  4. “6 recordes sales” and “9 sales” (OK I’m a moron for looking at the ‘previous’ column), all per streeteasy, and “5 sales” per the Sanctuary site. Three different numbers. Which one is it? (smoke and mirrors)

  5. Wait a minute! Only 7 show up on Streeteasy as sold. So even if Streeteasy is to be believed, there’s still 3 contracts out there. 11217 is an idiot.
