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?

Truly ugly. I’m not sure Archie Bunker would even live there.
while not beautiful, it does look well built and sturdy.
these look just fine to me, except for the terraces.
Yes, the townhouses could be more inspired, but bottom line is price, # of bedrooms, neighborhood (park, supermarket, butcher, bookstore), and school district matter a lot more than architecture.

They fit in well with the existing mix of styles in that part of WT. They are not as nice as some, but much better than some others. Solidly built, and well located with the park, subway and supermarket.
looks like somethiong out of Queens
“Parc Maison” it’s not my architectural cup of tea, but if the new construction (which resonates with many buyers) is of a decent quality and the neighborhood is good (I don’t know much about that part of Brooklyn, but the little bit I have seen I like) things will sell.
11:12 seems to have a good handle on how the market really is (despite the gloom and doom of the media).
This photo isn’t the best representation of this place.
When it first started getting built, I was worried it was going to be super ugly and huge. I think they did a fairly okay job making it look fine with the surrounding houses. Its not beautiful by any means but its also not an eyesore.
Not that we need more people living in the area but the former empty lot wasn’t nice to look at either. For the price, these seem like a very nice option.
How is this not execrable? I think it’s absolutely hideous.
