LOW FLOOR, LOW PRICE

This condo’s new owners got a great deal in this 27-story luxury high-rise. One of 259 units, the selling price was “very, very low for the building,” said John Maher of Citi-Habitats, who represented both the buyer and seller in this transaction.

The apartment sold at a low price, he said, because it is on a low floor with no view and little light. The 728-square-foot apartment features a pass-through kitchen, a disproportionately large foyer, parquet floors, and great closets for the size.

The building was formerly a bank in the 1800s, and its historic past is reflected in the beautiful, soaring lobby, which has 25-foot ceilings.

The building’s amenities include a glass-enclosed rooftop swimming pool, with a health club and sun deck. The building also offers basement storage and a bike room. The first-time buyers are a married couple that moved from New Jersey. The seller is an investor who lives in London and decided to take advantage of the current market and cash out.

Four-story townhouse
Asking price: $2.45 million
Selling price: $2.1 million
Time on the market: five months

LOCATION SELLS

This four-story townhouse is 18 feet wide, is about 2,251 square feet in size, and includes three free-market residential units and one professional space. All three residential leases expire within the year.

The buyer may use the currently vacant ground floor for either a business or a pied-a-terre, and could ultimately convert the home into a duplex or triplex and keep a portion as rental property.

In the rear of the townhouse, a large L-shaped garden extends 45 feet back from the house, in one of the village’s uniquely shaped lots. The space gets a lot of light and air, and there is enough room to possibly build a carriage house.

“The location sold this townhouse in the heart of the West Village,” said the seller’s broker, James Nelson of Massey Knakal. Wolf Jakubowski of Brown Harris Stevens represented the buyer in this all-cash transaction. The original asking price was $2.7 million, but after a few months on the market, it was lowered to $2.45 million.

“There was overwhelming activity,” Mr. Nelson said. After the price was lowered, the property sold within a month.

JUST ONE LOOK

This gem, one of the neighborhood’s most prestigious brownstones, was shown on a Sunday and snatched up on Monday. One look inside this 3,600-square-foot home, and it’s not hard to see why.

All the original wood paneling and ornate moldings were painstakingly maintained, and the parlor floor’s stained-glass bay windows and the original pocket doors were preserved. The parlor floor also has nearly floor-to-ceiling mirrors above built-in wooden benches.

This brownstone, which was built in 1899, has three wood-burning fireplaces and cathedral-like ceilings. The buyers, who are originally from England, plan to convert the home into a three-bedroom duplex with two one-bedroom rental apartments. The seller is an investor. Furman Calhoun of Halstead represented both parties in this deal.
