This 1,809-square-foot unit is the first resale at Sackett Union, the Carroll Gardens condo building that opened its doors at 291 Union Street in 2013.

The place is enormous, bigger even than an old-school co-op, but with a modern layout. Among other things, that means an open-plan living room/dining room/kitchen, measuring 30 feet wide, with a wall of windows.

The smallish kitchen has a SubZero fridge and a Wolf range. There’s not a ton of cabinet space, but there is a walk-in pantry. There’s plenty of closet space elsewhere, including a walk-in closet by the master bedroom.

There’s also a separate laundry room that comes equipped. The building offers a shared roof deck, an attended lobby, a fitness center, a kids’ playroom, basement storage and assigned bike storage. The unit — listed by James Cornell and Leslie Marshall of Corcoran — also comes with a deeded indoor parking space, which is nothing to scoff at.

Common charges and maintenance run $1,760, taxes another $1,028. It adds up to a considerable monthly layout — which begs the question of what buyer might find this place preferable to a townhouse, which may well not run much more — and perhaps even less with a rental to offset the mortgage.

It’s also worth noting that the ask represents a steep markup from what the place originally sold for in August 2013 — $1,825,118, according to PropertyShark — but then the market has changed a lot since then.

Think they’re overreaching, or might they find a buyer at the current price?
