Say hello to Hello New York, a new 7-story condominium development at 651 New York Avenue in Prospect Lefferts Gardens. The 40-unit building is now nearing completion, with just two 3-bedroom residences left for sale: 604, a 1,380-square-foot unit for $1.24 million, and the Penthouse, a 1,713-square-foot unit for $1.55 million. Both condos are complete with open floor plans and additional private outdoor space via lovely wrap terraces. The below video offers a virtual tour of the ins and outs of a typical unit inside the building.
Inside, residences feature private keyed elevator entries framed with reclaimed wood. Expansive living areas feature polished concrete floors, dramatic views, and triple-paned floor-to-ceiling doors. The condos’ semi-open kitchens host white lacquer cabinetry, Thermador professional refrigerator and double ovens, Bosch induction cooktops and dishwashers, and Caesarstone counters. Scandinavian-inspired baths feature deep soaking tubs, rainfall showers, Carrara white marble vanity counters with Kohler vessel sinks, and Isenberg faucets and fixtures. All residences are complete with washer/dryer hookups and energy-efficient ductless heating and cooling systems for the ultimate convenience.
Building amenities include a fully-equipped gym and an elevator, and separately deeded, covered parking spots are available for an additional cost. Situated in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, “Brooklyn’s best kept secret,” the surrounding neighborhood is host to an abundance of outdoor activities, including bicycle paths, tennis courts, baseball fields, boat rentals, playgrounds, a drummer’s circle, a roller skating rink, and an ice-skating rink. With the 2/5 trains a short walk away, travel into Manhattan is both optimal and convenient.
There are currently 34 residences for sale in the neighborhood that have a median price of $1,037,500, or $782 per square foot. At $902 per square foot, the condos at Hello New York come in a little pricier than the area’s current average closing price of $700 per square foot, and last year’s average November closing price of $784 per square foot.
