Combining
classical grace with cutting-edge, Roebling Square is a much-anticipated
newcomer to Williamsburg. The four-story, 36-condo building
has five separate entrances, creating a sense of contemporary
townhome-style living. Most of the homes have gardens, terraces
or balconies. “While architectural tradition plays beautifully
in this brick-facade building with its crown of dormer windows,
the overall design is clean and elegant, and the interiors
are sleek and stylish,” says Hal Henenson, executive
director of Prudential Douglas Elliman Development Marketing
Group. Top-floor units feature mezzanines and double-height
ceilings, with 4-inch wide Brazilian oak flooring and expansive
windows. The artful kitchens have Sapelli wood cabinets, Nero
Impala black granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances.
Achieving
the best of all worlds, Roebling Square sits on a quiet residential
street near the green expanse of McCarren Park, and nearer
still to Williamsburg’s vibrant art and restaurant scene
and the Bedford “L” train (one stop to Manhattan).
From $575,000.

VICTORIA’S
SECRET?
The
lavish nine-story Kent, a new 103-unit condo in historic Clinton
Hill, used to be the seven-story Kaiser Underwear Factory
(built in 1915)—how times change. The Developers Group,
exclusive sales and marketing agent, has just released nine
sun-drenched duplex penthouses with incredible Manhattan views,
spacious terraces and exquisite interior finishes. Designed
by developer/architect Elissa Winzelberg, these deluxe 2BR
homes feature maple floors, 15ft ceilings, huge windows and
loads of space—1,212 to 1,379 sf. Knockout kitchens
have cherry cabinets and Absolute Black granite counters;
bathrooms have limestone floors and wall-mounted sinks.
More that’s
good about the Kent: a 24-hour attended lobby, private storage
spaces, a health and fitness club, and a landscaped courtyard
with running track. Available summer 2006. Penthouse prices
start at $760,000.

“Buyers
in the middle market have leverage right now,” says Chris
Thomas, executive vice-president of Brown Harris Stevens. “A
year ago, there was no time for due diligence—you had to jump
in and make an offer. Though the high end is still hot, prices in
the middle have stabilized, so now you can be more deliberate, and
look into four or five listings at a time.” |
