442 Willoughby Ave, 2

Want to choose your own finishes? Rare opportunity to buy a loft condo that has already gone through demolition, and the expense that goes with it. The floors have been leveled, the plans have been drawn and filed, there are a couple contractor credits, and this gorgeous space is ready for your personal touch. The unit is one of three condos in a corner building that was formerly a bus drivers union social hall called Transit Hall, built in 1931. The classic architectural details include 10' ceilings, exposed brick, and bayed corner. The unit gets great light that streams in through nine windows.

If you're tired of cookie cutter condos, and want to design your own, here's your chance! Exceptionally low common charges of $250/month and taxes of $242/month. Located at the confluence of Clinton Hill, Bed-Stuy, and Williamsburg, neighborhood hotspots include the Kosciuszko Pool, Herbert Von King Park, C'Mon Everybody, numerous bars, cafe's and restaurants. It is just a few blocks from the G train, so it's easy to get to other Brooklyn neighborhoods, and transfer to Manhattan.
