The latest edition of Price Chop looks at an exceptional high floor two-bedroom condominium in Brooklyn’s most iconic structure.
Apartment 21-D at One Hanson Place is a generously sized loft-like two-bedroom residence with a huge wrap terrace and tremendous views across Brooklyn and New York Harbor. The current price of $2.275 million represents a price drop of more than 21% from the original ask of $2.85 million.
The most recent price drop, from $2.65 million, reflects a 14% price cut and the second price drop since the property hit the market in September 2022.
One Hanson Place, more commonly known as the Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower, is located in the heart of historic Fort Greene and has long been heralded as Brooklyn’s tallest skyscraper. While the borough’s skyline is now littered with taller towers, the multi-tiered art-deco structure remains a revered sight to the multitude of generations that used the building’s four-sided clock tower to sync their wrist watches.
The Williamsburg Savings Bank Tower opened in 1929 as a commercial structure and was converted to condominium ownership in 2007. The landmarked tower rises 41 floors and now contains 178 apartments. The lower floors are dedicated to commercial space and the one-of-a-kind banking hall has been repurposed into an event space.
Apartment 21-D is a split two bedroom with more than 2,300 square feet of interior (1622 SF) and exterior (725 SF) space. The interior features an open loft-style layout with a living/dining area and a large open kitchen. The space offers two exposures and is flooded with light and forever views. The chef’s kitchen is replete with stone countertops, a suite of Viking appliances and a large peninsula with counter seating. The primary bedroom has a five-fixture ensuite bath with a double vanity and a large walk-in closet.
The wrap terrace is of course the piece de resistance. It totals approximately 725 square feet and wraps around one half of the apartment, which incorporates the living/dining area and both bedrooms. If gardening is your pleasure you will be delighted to know that there is an irrigation system.
Additional apartment features include chestnut plank flooring, 10.5 foot beamed ceilings, oversized windows, a custom walk-in closet, a state-of-the-art home theater, multi-zoned heating and cooling, washer/dryer and custom lighting.
One Hanson Place provides a full-time concierge and presents a healthy amenity package which includes multiple roof terraces, fitness room, residents lounge, bike room, business center, children’s playroom, laundry room and private storage. The furnished terraces provide a serene setting to enjoy panoramic views across Manhattan and Brooklyn.
One Hanson Place is located at the corner of Ashland Place and Hanson Place and sits across from Atlantic Terminal, the nexus of Brooklyn’s transportation system. You can pretty much get anywhere from here. The building abuts the Brooklyn Academy of Music and is just a short block away from the Barclays Center.
