Saves: As of this writing, this week’s most popular listing has been saved by more than 250 users.

Price: $1,175,000. Assuming a 30-year mortgage and the minimum down payment of 10% ($117,500), StreetEasy estimates total monthly payments at $5,400. This includes the mortgage payment ($4,544), taxes ($453), and common charges ($403).

Why it’s so popular: The median asking price for a home in Greenpoint is $1.5 million, according to StreetEasy’s Data Dashboard. That puts our most popular sale for December 14 several hundred thousand dollars below average for this popular Brooklyn enclave.

But a below-average price isn’t even the best thing about this Greenpoint 2BR. Not by a longshot! It’s huge, for starters, with 1,250 square feet of interior space spread out over two floors. There’s a full bath on each floor. And then there’s the outdoor space. Both bedrooms look out onto a private tiered garden, with a lower level patio that leads up to a large, grassy yard.

Not enough to catch your interest? How about an actual, suburban-size laundry room, complete with Electrolux washer/dryer? And for the ultimate in luxury, the master bathroom contains a cedar-clad sauna. This is an amenity so buzzy that the New York Times raves about it, and so rare in NYC that we’re not sure we’ve ever seen one on a listing before. Now that’s impressive.
