As of this writing, this week’s most popular listing has been saved by 388 users.
Assuming a 30-year mortgage and the minimum down payment of 10% ($89,900), total monthly payments are estimated at about $4,484. This includes the mortgage payment ($4,196), common charges ($250), and taxes ($38).
The median asking price for a home in Red Hook is $1,995,000, according to StreetEasy’s most recent market report. That puts our most popular sale for May 18 at less than half the average price for the area.
With the stay-at-home order still in full effect, what’s the number one thing on every New Yorker’s wish list? Private outdoor space. And this Red Hook apartment has an actual walled garden all to itself. Looks like a pretty great place to while away your summer while remaining socially distant, doesn’t it? And speaking of amenities New Yorkers covet, there’s a washer and dryer in the bathroom, too.
In addition, the interior of our most popular sale for May 18 spans nearly 1,000 feet of bright, sunny, wide-open space. The original pine floors are beautifully preserved, and there’s plenty of exposed brick and charming prewar moldings. The country-style kitchen is very well done, too, with a big, deep farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances (including a dishwasher), and lots of storage. The enormous bedroom area is currently divided into two rooms with a folding door in-between. There’s more than enough space to create two proper bedrooms — or to live large in one ginormous master.
