Maxwell Place Luxury Homes - Sells 2 Bedroom Condo For $1.638 Million

April 15th, 2011, Maxwell Place reported on the Hudson County MLS that a 1622 square foot unit, two bedrooms plus den, two baths and parking, sold for $1.638 Million. That is impressive you have to admit, at almost a whopping $940 per square foot this side of the Hudson River.

The unit boasts panoramic NYC views, the kind you dream about or only see in the movies and it's not the first of such high price tag sales at the exclusive Maxwell Place residences. In January, a 2006 square foot 3 bedroom, two and a half bath with terrace and parking sold for $1.6Million, (those buyers seem to have made the better buy, but nevertheless how do you put a price tag on such an incredible view?).

Good news: Once we see the luxury real estate buyers start to throw around big numbers, it's a good health indicator for the rest of the market.


Another huge sale was recently reported at the W Hotel. Unit 2501, a 1900 sq foot 2 bed 2 and a half bath with balcony just went under contract. It's asking price is $1.995 Million and it sounds like this sale will close at nearly $1000 a square foot.

Yesterday morning I enjoyed a nice breakfast spread at the W Hotel along with some of my peers from our Hoboken RE/MAX office. We were personally invited to tour 2 of the remaining 5 condo's that are left for sale in the building!

Hopefully you've visited the hotel already, but the lobby is very beautiful, smart, sleek and even European. This hold's true for the units that are for sale. The residences start on the 18th floor and go up to the 26th.

After some hot coffee, fresh bagels & cream cheese, deluxe muffins and a nice fruit platter we were escorted to view the residences starting at 1.79 million.

First, a stunning two bedroom, two and a half bath with incredible sweeping views of downtown NYC, the Verrazano, downtown Jersey City and south west Hoboken. Clocking over 1700 square feet, the units feature terrific glass windows from floor to ceiling, eco friendly bamboo flooring, and an open kitchen with commercial grade stainless steel appliances.

The showstopper was the incredibly spacious terrace that seemed to be floating in mid air. You have to be ready for this, and it's definitely not for those afraid of heights!

Retro, modern bathrooms with honed marble and glass tile, plus a master bath with an enclosed tiled shower with soaking tub. Very sleek.

Half bath has a jet setting feel with this chrome sink and pocket door.

Next on the Pent House level, was a sprawling three bedroom three and a half bath unit with an enormous dining living room combo, perfect for entertaining. If you like the high life, then this unit is for you. With north eastern views, this unit has a master suite with an incredible balcony, completely private, with views from the George Washington bridge all the way down to the Verrazano bridge and beyond. It is gusty up there! But oh so beautiful.. This room begs for a sleek fire place installed in the wall and HGTV's Candace Olsen's magic design touch for a dream of a master suite. Clocking in at over 2,500 square feet.

Marble, sleek half bath in three bedroom unit.. I love the floating sink.

Price tag - upon request.

Our tour ended short because the third unit we were to preview was hosting a private meeting, so unfortunatley we never saw that one.

Great morning with a sneak peak at the residences I had been wanting to see for so long. But the building had sold out and I never was able to see any.. now, these came back on the market for reasons undisclosed - my guess is the buyers either could not get financing or backed out.

These residences can yield rents as high as $6,000 to $15,000 a month. Not too shabby!
