Price: $500,000. Assuming a 30-year mortgage and the minimum down payment of 20% ($100,000), StreetEasy estimates total monthly payments at $2,347. This includes the mortgage payment ($1,715) and maintenance fee ($632).
Why it’s so popular: This home epitomizes everything people love about “Brownstone Brooklyn.” For starters, it’s set on the parlor level of a landmarked townhouse that dates back to 1858. Original hardwoods, wood trim, and exposed brick bring the charm. Meanwhile, huge windows overlook the tree-lined street and let in plenty of sunshine.
If that’s not enough to make you swoon, consider the modern updates. This Brooklyn Heights studio is small but smart, making the most of every inch. A kitchen island provides breakfast-bar seating and has a dishwasher tucked under the marble counter. The bathroom houses an in-unit washer/dryer. And the custom closet is cleverly disguised with curtained French doors. (They give the impression that there might be whole separate room behind them!) In addition, the sleeping alcove has a framed doorway, making it feel more like a proper bedroom.
Finally, this sweet studio is beautifully located, right in the center of one of the city’s most beloved neighborhoods. It’s just a few blocks from the Promenade and Brooklyn Bridge Park, and it’s super-convenient to multiple train lines. The median asking price here is a high $1.6M, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That puts our most popular sale for May 10 more than a million dollars below average for the area. Wow!
