This $499K Fort Greene Studio in a Former Bank Has Location, Amenities and Killer Views

May 19, 2016

Recognizable from what seems like miles away by its iconic clock tower, One Hanson Place was built in 1927 as the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower. Converted to 175 residential condominiums in 2006, it has been called “the finest landmarked skyscraper in Brooklyn and one of the best Art Deco towers in New York City.” With its prime Fort Greene location in the BAM cultural district and at a crossroads where several great Brooklyn neighborhoods meet, interiors feature loft-like details, and building amenities include a gym, lots of additional storage and a sky lounge and terraces with even more dizzying city views (just to name a few). The flexibility of condo ownership makes apartments in the building a good investment, too.

This well-configured studio may not be large, but it has the same prewar loft details and modern finishes as any unit in the building; what it also has–something much larger units may not–is soaring city views from the 14th floor of Brooklyn’s tallest landmarked building.

This compact and carefully-appointed studio has been designed to maximize space and take advantage of impressive loft details like beamed 11-foot ceilings and clean architectural lines.

Kitchen features are optimal as well; custom white lacquer cabinetry complements a Miele cooktop, range and dishwasher and a Sub-Zero fridge. Additional creature comforts include central heat and air.

As mentioned, building amenities are impressive, and it’s hard to beat the location for convenience: Nearly every subway in the city–and the Long Island Railroad–stops across the street.

By Devin Gannon

Sharing space with roommates in a small New York City apartment has never been easy. But doing so during a pandemic while many are still working from home? Almost impossible. As winter approaches and takes safe outdoor activities with it, now may be a good time to look for your own apartment. And with average rents still down compared to the same period last year, you're more likely to scoop up a decent deal. For those ready to ditch the roommates, we've found five studio apartments perfect for one, from a sunny Sutton Place rental for $1,538/month to a $2,479/month junior one-bedroom with amenities in Gramercy Park.
