While the Greenpoint waterfront is being supersized, the neighborhood’s inland blocks are buzzing with low-rise construction. Along Box Street, one of Greenpoint’s northernmost thoroughfares, a string of residential buildings is transforming the once-industrial stretch into a residential enclave. The latest development to arrive are the condos at 62 Box Street, located between Manhattan Avenue and McGuinness Boulevard.
The elevatored building is designed by Long Island-based Versatile Engineering and sports a surprising handsome façade of beautifully laid brick contrasted by a black-metal center area. The building’s 6 condos are set-back from the street, allowing discreet balconies to front all residential floors. The ground floor has the lobby and a 4-car garage whose spots are available for purchase. Above, are 4 full-floor apartments and top floor hosts two penthouses, each with private outdoor space.
The first listing to come online is a 2-bed/ 2-bath on third floor with 1,228 square feet of interior space. According to the Elliman sales team, the home features 4" white oak hardwood floors, Electrolux washer/dryer, and ample closet space. The spacious living and dining areas are positioned along Box Street and lead out to a pair of balconies out front. The open gourmet kitchen is equipped with premium appliances and the master bath is sheathed with Carrera imported marble mosaic tile.
The full-floor home is priced at $1.375M or $1,119 per ft² which is in line with the 10 other 2-bedroom condos currently listed in the neighborhood.
