Windsor Terrace Condos Sell in a Heartbeat
The nearly complete Parc Maison in Windsor Terrace doesn’t feature Brooklyn’s most exciting architecture ever (not execrable, just a little uninspired for a prime corner lot in our opinion), but the condos sure sat well with buyers.

The nearly complete Parc Maison in Windsor Terrace doesn’t feature Brooklyn’s most exciting architecture ever (not execrable, just a little uninspired for a prime corner lot in our opinion), but the condos sure sat well with buyers. Eight of the development’s units went into contract after only two open houses this fall, according to Corcoran broker Andrew Booth. (The project’s developer is hanging on to the remaining seven units for the moment, though those may also eventually hit the market—Booth claims that if they did, we’d sell them within a week.) The condos are in townhouses and range in size from 1050 to more than 1600 square feet. Prices went from $599,000 for the smaller 2-bedrooms to $699,000 for the biggest 2-bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and it seems like those prices hit the sweet spot for Windsor Terrace buyers. Surprised?

Good location and price. I think they’re perfect for Windsor Terrace. They’re low-key and pretty classic-looking.
The proportions are all wrong–the steps are not only ridiculously steep but they’re also weirdly narrow, and the windows don’t look like they belong on so massive a structure. They look like Lego windows. The brickfront is cheesy looking in person. I wonder, if the units sold so well and the market is softening, why would the developer choose to hold on to so many units? Think someone’s fibbing.
Wow, it’s so disheartening that people with less money (i.e., couldn’t afford to buy that $3M brownstone on Lincoln Place) are demonized for buying a decent apartment in a decent neighborhood. Ya’ll need to lighten up.
And, no, I didn’t buy one of these–haven’t even seen them until today.
All new buildings suck. Landmark everything. I love vacant lots. Buck Fush. Free Mumia.
12.36 – becuase the architect is a clown. All the light from windows on the side would have pshed up the price they could sell that one for.
Isn’t it premature to say the units “Sell in a Heartbeat” before they actually close?
And why on Heaven’s earth would the developer hold onto seven units? Theories?
I have never seen a real brownstone with a stoop like that. Look at it.
Looks attractive to me BUT why don’t architects maximize the corner location with lots of windows on the side – does more windows cost that much more then brick??
“looks like somethiong out of Queens”
LOL. I give my wife a hard time about her home borough all the time. I can’t stand Queens. I can’t stand the outskirts of Brooklyn neither (looks just like Queens). Only the region surrounding the historic districts will do. Basically the downtown side of Prospect Park.
