$1,400,000

BEAUTY AND BRAINS: Owing to an assessment on the apartment as well as some impending building facade work planned for next year, this gorgeous condo is being offered at a $350 ppsf discount over normal market pricing. At $959 ppsf, a new buyer saves $666,800, or over 20 years of the present assessment. The actual wall-to-wall square-footage is 1512 square feet, but originally the units in the building were measured interior wall to wall, a measurement most brokers still use, so compare the price at a size of 1755 sq ft: $826 ppsf! One of the most extraordinary lofts ever available at the iconic Gretsch, the historic factory-to-condo conversion in Williamsburg, ceilings soar to 26 feet in this duplex one-bedroom, addressing a wall of not one but two levels of 8-foot South-facing windows. The kitchen would make a chef blush with excitement, replete with a Sub Zero refrigerator, 6-burner Wolf range, Asko dishwasher, and granite counter tops. Australian Jarre hardwood floors adorn the 1500-plus square feet of open space. Bathrooms are clad in creamy marble and custom Italian stone. Stunning exposed concrete beams, tons of elegant storage, custom shades, Central AC and a Bosch washer/dryer round out the sensational package of household amenities. Upstairs via an elegant open staircase lies an immense yet intimate mezzanine bedroom space, with an artful office extension. The en suite master bath showcases a 6 1/2 foot Zuma soaking tub, separate glass shower and a double vanity. Nearby stands a walk-in closet the size of a Manhattan living room, large enough to be used as an office or separate bedroom in its own right. This full-service building is pet-friendly and features a 24-hour doorman, concierge service, a 1200 SF playroom, cold food storage, bike storage, and a common roof terrace. A J-51 tax abatement is in place until June 30, 2020. The Gretsch is unaffected by the impending L shutdown, as the JMZ lines are just a few blocks up Broadway, as are some of the finest restaurants in Brooklyn. Please note: this apartment carries a monthly assessment of $2684 for facade work and the interior facade work on this portion of the building will not be begun until next year. One pet permitted with board approval. Board application required.
