Most Popular Sale of the Week: February 17

As of this writing, and after 35 days on the market, this week’s most popular listing has been saved by more than 160 users.

Assuming a 30-year mortgage and the minimum down payment of 20% ($130,000), total monthly payments are estimated at about $3,183. This includes the mortgage payment ($2,552) and maintenance fee ($631).

The median sale price for a Brooklyn Heights 1-bedroom is $735,000 — significantly higher than the borough-wide median of $549,000. That means this apartment is priced $85,000 less than the average price for the neighborhood.

And what a neighborhood it is! This apartment’s Columbia Heights address puts it directly on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade, famed for its unparalleled views of the Lower Manhattan skyline. It’s within a gorgeous historic-preservation district and right between Cranberry and Orange streets — two of the coveted Brooklyn Heights “fruit streets.”  It’s also just a few blocks from the Standish, the celebrity hotspot where Matt Damon and John Krasinski own homes.

Our most popular sale for February 17 has more going for it than just an epic location, though. This Brooklyn Heights 1-bedroom boasts bright windows, oak floors, and elegant prewar moldings. It is a walk-up, sadly. But for the right buyer, three flights of stairs is a small price to pay for the bathroom’s original claw-foot tub and the freestanding farmhouse sink in the charming vintage kitchen.

The home is listed by Melissa Leifer of Keller Williams.
