Sunset Park has it all: every kind of restaurant you can think of, a beautiful park with great sunsets (hence the neighborhood name!), Industry City, and easy access to the waterfront. With all that, its homes have also had some pretty large price tags as of late. While the median asking price isn’t yet at Park Slope levels, it’s well in the seven-figure range. But the neighborhood still has tons of great deals to be found, like 4606 6th Ave. #4R. Our Deal of the Week is a Sunset Park duplex condo with a private terrace and a private rooftop deck!
Get to know our Deal of the Week.
The Price: $485,000
The median asking price for a home in Sunset Park was $1.4 million this September, according to the StreetEasy Data Dashboard. That puts our Deal of the Week at about a third of the median asking price for the neighborhood!
Buyers who make the 20% minimum down payment of $97,000 can expect to see monthly payments of $3,164. This includes a mortgage payment of $2,550, common charges of $334, and monthly taxes of $280.
Why You’ll Love It…
This Sunset Park duplex has not one but two private outdoor spaces that total more than 450 square feet! The first floor of the duplex has a large terrace that is accessible from the kitchen and dining area, while the second floor features a wrap-around rooftop deck. You can enjoy vistas of Manhattan and the water from this terrace, while the rooftop deck offers even more space to entertain or relax.
Inside, the duplex is well-lit thanks to windows facing north, south, and west. The first floor features 10-foot ceilings and includes the kitchen, a windowed bathroom, and a living room that could double as a bedroom. The kitchen is equipped with full-size stainless steel appliances, including the holy grail of NYC living: a dishwasher! There’s more than enough space in the kitchen to add some seating for dining, or you could place it in the living room, found behind French doors. In the bathroom, you’ll find modern tile and a vanity with lots of storage space.
One flight up the classy black spiral staircase is the loft area, which is staged as the bedroom in the listing. The room includes a large custom closet, vaulted ceilings, and a built-in work-from-home nook. Because the windows face north, they’ll always provide gorgeous views of the river!
This condo is located in a building with low monthly costs just two blocks from the park. The R train is about a quarter-mile away, offering easy access to Manhattan. Some shopping and eating spots are located on nearby 5th Avenue, and neighborhood highlights like Industry City and the Greenwood Cemetery aren’t too far either.
…And Why You Might Not
The only closet in the duplex is in the loft area, so you might need to get creative with storage solutions downstairs. The loft area is also small in general. While the condo building is on the affordable side and offers more purchasing options than most co-ops, the building doesn’t have laundry, an elevator, or storage. Condo owners can install their own washer/dryers in their unit, however.
If you’re looking for an offering in Sunset Park with tons of outdoor space, look no further!
