Lots of Signed Contracts at Park Slope Condo
According to the Brown Harris Stevens website, five apartments in this brownstone have gone into contract. The building looks nice on the outside; interiors look unremarkable. The idea of getting three bedrooms in the Slope for $710,000 with a low monthyl maintenance of $500 must be the driving factor. We can't say much more without knowing where exactly this is though. A little help please?

Ugh. I currently live in a very long apartment but not quite a RR. Yet still there is no flow. I can't see my child from one room to the next - I feel like these rooms are compartments and can't wait to live in a more hamonious layout. Needless to say I would never buy a RR... renting is hard enough.

That kitchen looks horrifying. Is that an ELECTRIC range?

worst floor plans i ever seen. they could of put the kitchen and living room and bath room in the middle and put two rooms at the ends.

no wonder why they don't show the floor plan on the other page. these are bought by people who are afraid to leave park slope. Scary floor plan and a walk up? When you are not tucking your kid into the closet you are hauling them up the stairs. not a bad price but you pay for it in other ways.

Hmmm ... aren't most brownstones essentially railroads in layout?

This building is NOT a brownstone - it was built as a tenanment.
Brownstones typically have 2 rooms per floor, with 3-story ones having a master bedroom on one side and 2 smaller bedrooms on the other.

garfield place between 6 & 7th ave.

It's such a pretty block.
The reasons the haters hate it are good enough reasons, but the price certainly reflects the downsides to the property. So I don't understand the fussing and bi**ing here. Everybody get over it. If this were a 3 BR condo on that block with better layout and gourmet kitchen with a stainless gas range, it would not be listed at that price.

Why is it that some folks on this site don't understand that not everyone has money for renovating an old brownstone? Many, many people only have the minimum downpayment and approval for a regular mortgage (not construction loan). It is not financially possible for everyone to pay rent + mortgage while waiting for renovations to finish.
So..a big space like this would be a great deal for a family. Otherwise in this price range in this neighborhood, you're looking at 700sq ft? Not worth it for a couple with a kid. The electric range is replacable in exchange for the sq footage.

An electric range is NEVER replacable in exchange for ANYTHING. And on this topic, there will be NO DEBATE!!!

You can get a nice stainless gas range for less than $1,000. Take a pill.
