Built in 2018, the listing says it was custom designed by Sullivan Goulette. It has 2 duplex units.
The building has garage parking and an elevator which opens into this unit.
It appears that this unit has never sold as it was previously listed in 2019 and 2020.
The living/dining and kitchen are on the main floor with all four bedrooms on the second floor.
3 of the bedrooms are en suite.
The kitchen has modern gray cabinets and an oversized island with double Subzero fridges and a Wolf double oven.
There are 2 stone decks and a private rooftop deck.
The unit has central air and washer/dryer in the unit.
The listing says it has an over sized 39 foot long garage parking spot with 13 foot ceilings that fits 2 cars and with a lift would fit 3 cars.

Was expecting this to be larger.
Bedrooms are pretty small (Esp MBR). At nearly $2MM, I Don’t think buyers are going to compromise to get a dedicated home office. 3400sf seems aggressive.
Weiland is a glorified alley, in the Mannarie school zone, with the potential of delivery traffic when they eventually complete the O’Brian hotel. Hard pass.
genuine question–what does NY style mean?
What does NY style mean? Cramped and overpriced?
Whats NY style other than its boring, grey and overpriced?
Oh, I see others have made the same comment, oh well, piling on anyway
Terraces and roof deck are great. View is nice.
Living/Dining area is very small. And while the finishes are above average, they don’t scream $2M property.
Count me among those confused by what’s “NY-Style” about this place.
it appears that the kitchen has no exhaust for the stove…
“Whats NY style other than its boring, grey and overpriced?”
Garbage pick up appears to be in front.
the lower unit appears to be a rental. Appears to have been asking $6300.
“3400sf seems aggressive.”
Given that they say right in the listing that the building footprint is 75×22 (size of the roofdeck), the max on 2 floors would be 3,300, before deducting for the elevator core, stairs, etc.
So, not “aggressive”, unless you mean “aggressively untrue”.

Which, as we all know from the White House these last four years, in NY-style speak means “alternate facts.”
THAT’s your “NY-style.”
Sheesh. Don’t you guys know anything?
I get there are “condo people” by why would anyone pay this much money for a condo when you can get a very nice SFH for less.
For 1.825 I don’t want that kitchen (seems dated) and definitely don’t want all that carpet.
“I get there are “condo people” by why would anyone pay this much money for a condo when you can get a very nice SFH for less.”
Agreed. I’d much much rather live in the below place which is two blocks away AND it’s priced $450k less (now contingent).

Agree. Plus “condo people” in this price range are usually interested in things like a doorman and building amenities.

I’d give the Realatard the benefit of the doubt @ 100sf; I was getting 65′ deep adding up the main floor room depths
Having what appears to be an exposed electrical panel on the main floor at this price point, tells you all you need to know about the quality of design and construction
“I’d give the Realatard the benefit of the doubt @ 100sf”
Sure, but that assumes an otherwise fair count. The hut on the roof is ~300 sf–as there should be a second egress stair there, how much of that really should be deducted from the 1650 (not 1733) floorplates below?

—————————————
Your comp lacks the telephone pole right in front of this place. That’s gotta be worth $300k right there.
x2 on every critical comment hear . . . also, are the adjacent building’s balconies right up next to this building’s bedrooms? Another hard pass there. All you need are some crappy renters in that adjacent property and your life is a living hell.
Forgive the spelling errors!
“Sure, but that assumes an otherwise fair count. The hut on the roof is ~300 sf–as there should be a second egress stair there, how much of that really should be deducted from the 1650 (not 1733) floorplates below?”
We’re drifting into a discussion of actual Vs useable.
Personally – if you own it it should be included, if its common it should be excluded, but then you couldnt just multiply a couple of numbers together and viola unit SF
so this is a condo association of 2 units?
Absurd price for that. Plus it’s located of the ghetto side of Old Town, south of North Ave.
“We’re drifting into a discussion of actual Vs useable.”
Not even contemplating deducting for walls, etc. But the roof hut implies that there is a substantial chunk of the floorplate dedicated to shared space.
But do stairs ‘count’?
To me, a (true) 1200 sf place on one floor is almost always going to feel bigger than “1400” on two bc of the space taken up both floors by the stairs and the halls next to them
And, on this one, why is the front door downstairs from the main floor?
ALSO: “also, are the adjacent building’s balconies right up next to this building’s bedrooms?”
Looks like the beds are front and back and the two side ones face south, against the neighbor’s CMUs. So I would think “no, not facing balconies”.
