Co-op of the Day: 92 Prospect Park West

92prospparkw.jpg
92ppwint.jpgIt'll be interesting to see how this two-bedroom on Prospect Park West at 5th Street fares on the market. It's obviously a great location and a very attractive building from the outside. The sponsor just renovated the apartment, too, but it looks fairly generic and that second bedroom's pretty tight. Given that this place can't be much bigger than about 600 or 650 square feet, the asking price of $699,000 is north of $1,000 a foot. (The maintenance is $585.) What do you think it'll sell for?

corcoran has one at 119 PPW that is a much better apartment for 799, assuming they're both walk-ups.

and assuming they're both walk-ups, you can have them.

No way, not when you could have gotten that $899k Heights co-op with 3 bedrooms for $560/sqft (assuming the footage is 1600, as posted in the comments).

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 12:47 PM

i highly doubt the bh place is 1600 square feet. another poster said 1000 tops.

you can't believe all the stuff you read on here in the comments section.

i'm not saying that one wasn't great, but....

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 12:56 PM

even if it is 1000 sqft, then it was 866/sqft... which is still way below this place.

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 1:00 PM

you pay for ppw. a smaller, less desirable apt. on central park west is going to cost more than a slighly nicer one on columbus avenue.

nature of the beast.

i'd personally much rather be in park slope than in bh anyway.

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 1:08 PM

i had checked out the 33 willow street apartment.
it is approx 1000sf, but it has a lousy layout, with all rooms opening onto the living room. calling it a three bedroom is a stretch, unless one of your kids stays tiny.

the condition of the common entry and hall was grungy, but even at 866/sf, i'd agree with 1:00pm that it's a better financial deal.

Posted by: anon in bklyn at July 19, 2007 1:19 PM

I think that price is nutso.

Brooklyn properties has a much nicer pre-war 2bedder, much MUCH larger, also on PPW, in a super building, for only $150k more.

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 1:22 PM

i believe this apt. is closer to 700, perhaps even 750 square feet.

and it's in ps. 321.

and the maintenance is quite reasonable for a pristine building on ppw.

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 1:26 PM

Btw, for some people 150K more is not exactly chump change.

Especially in this price range.

Back to reality, please.

Posted by: anonymous at July 19, 2007 1:28 PM

750k+

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 1:54 PM

sorry, no way that this is 600-650 sq ft. Has to be much more (if you want to compare apples to apples).
It maybe 600-650 sq ft inside usuable sq ft.... but that is not how real estate is measured (anywhere).
You measure from outside(exterior) and in coops is also going to include certain part of public hallway on at least the floor you are on.

What a typical lousy renovation. Are they really so proud of that kitchen sink?

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 1:59 PM

i would love to take a tour of your home, 1:59 and decide what i think you should and should not be proud of.

you're gross.

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 2:41 PM

2:41--you're an idiot. what's wrong with remarking on a renovation in a brooklyn apartment? oh i forgot, that's completely unrelated to this website.

Posted by: anonymous at July 19, 2007 2:50 PM

funny you should mention this property as a week and a half ago, my family and I sat across the street on a park bench observing that it looked abandoned. Quite a few passerbys noticed the broken windows on the top floor,etc.Several of us ventured across the street to inquire as to its availability but noone was there that Saturday. Now to see what it is selling for....only one thing i can say....nevermind.......

Posted by: sally at July 19, 2007 2:57 PM

the kitchen sink is an undermounted stainless steel sink with a nice faucet and black granite countertops.

that's what's wrong with the comment. what...does it need to be made of platinum wrapped with 100 bills to make you people happy???

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 2:59 PM

hi sally...or shall i say broker at corcoran jealous she didn't get the listing.

your claims are false. i live on this same block.

Posted by: anonymous at July 19, 2007 3:01 PM

2 bedrooms (one 9x12 the othere 13x12) in an elevator building, new kitchen/bathroom, views of the city, on the park, pets allowed, mnt around 800. what would you say it could go for?

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 3:02 PM

i've seen other 2 bedrooms in the same area go for over 700..i think 699 sounds low with the exception of the walk-up situation. to the person above, if this is in park slope (I assume it is based on you comment being on the park, i would think you could get in the 750 range if everything is done nicely...

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 3:04 PM

3:01 ...i could care less whether you live on the block or not. I sat across with my family looking at broken windows on the top floor. Also watched the t.v.that was on on the ground floor of the house next to it. I am not a broker...and i am not lying moron. Where you home around 7:30 pm? If so you would have seen 4 adults and a beautiful baby sitting directly across from the house moron for hours, enjoying the evening before returning to our 4 family brownstone in Clinton Hill.

Posted by: sally at July 19, 2007 3:11 PM

2:59--wow, sorry you're so angry. you must have a REALLY crappy kitchen sink.

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 3:13 PM

Hey this apartment has 2 sinks. Wow. Who is the Clown taking the photos.? Is this how you brokers earn your 6%.? Or do you hire your 6th grader to help you out on the weekends.

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 3:13 PM

you guys are nasty. cosmetics can be changed but overall the layout looks pleasant. the folks checking out the building have a legit gripe if they see a poorly kept building...it's usually indicative many many things so if you don't like what you see, stay clear. but no reason for everyone to start cursing at each other and pointing fingers or assuming someone is a broker becaue they did their homework and are knowledgable. grow up

ah yes...now i remember, i did see you.

but that baby ain't beautiful.

sorry.

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 3:28 PM

sally forgets to mention that she rents the basement apartment of the 4-maily brownstone she speaks of

Posted by: mally at July 19, 2007 3:31 PM

I love this site, but recently many threads have deteriorated into nasty put downs. I suspect it is because of people with commercial interests (brokers, etc) or just an axe to grind of some sort, but it is making reading a posting less than fun. Hope something can be done about it.

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 5:43 PM

i agree. when you read the nasty comments it takes away from what can be a great conversation on the site. i'm not sure why people "go there" maybe it's a release for them to hide behind a blog and be nasty when in reality they try to be really sweet and smile in your face but are really nasty behind your back...seen that before!

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 6:17 PM

perhaps it gets nasty because the basic premise of the blog is to post about historic homes which people including the blogger tear apart for not having enough period details or ripping to shreds any new development that isn't littered with ornamental cornices.

that, and the fact that nearly everything on here is about million plus homes, and people talk about them as if they're being bought and sold for 10 bucks. for most of the last century, brooklyn was about working class neighborhoods and now it's turned into the greenwich of nyc.

it's bound to get a little controversial. don't ya think?

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 7:29 PM

actually mally, she does own that brownstone. you should know. your mother cleans the apartments in that house and 3 others on the block for a living....lmao.

"but that baby aint beautiful" spoken like the ignoramus that you are.

Posted by: anon at July 19, 2007 8:35 PM

To clarify, and get back to the subject of real estate... this is not the same building as Sally is referring to. There is huge, corner building on PPW that totally looks abandoned from the outside. It is the same architectual design as the one in this listing but this is not it. They are both between 3rd and 12th but I can't remeber where, exactly. They are within a few blocks of each other.

This is a nice looking place, but the prices are beyond crazy these days. At the end of the day though, it will sell for very close to ask

Posted by: Anonymous at July 19, 2007 8:51 PM

really lovely location and building... bright and airy unit, not spacious by any means... I think though that it could easily go for $750,000 based on the location.

Posted by: bren at July 19, 2007 10:08 PM

I think it will sell for whatever the market allows.

Meanwhile, this is one of those classic, idiotic, lukewarm, mediocre "Brownstoner" questions that have made this site the sleeper that it is. Why the webmaster chooses to post this kind of crap is totally beyond me, especially with all the cutting edge potential this site has shown over the years.

Meanwhile, yes, let's hypothesize about what this building will sell for. In fact, doing so is about as interesting as your average conversations among a couple of uneducated, unemployed middle-aged men sitting on a stoop with toothpicks hanging out of their mouths, scratching their buttcracks and crotches.

YAWN!

Posted by: Ed at July 20, 2007 12:27 AM

no, i don't agree with 7:29 pm. that's not why...but ok now the haters are just plan boring.

Posted by: Anonymous at July 20, 2007 8:16 AM

i think the nastiness started when mr. B decided to post Mos Def lyrics

that will be seen as the day this website started going downhill

Posted by: think at July 20, 2007 9:40 AM

i want to know where sally is. and i want an apology from her for the misinformation. i told her i lived on the same block and she INSISTED she knew better than i about this building.

come on sally. fess up.

Posted by: anon at July 20, 2007 11:07 AM

I saw a building on ppw and 5 st, a corner building. I thought the same as Sally, that it was abandoned or on the market. She might be referring to that.

Posted by: wilmer at July 20, 2007 2:30 PM

agreed 9:40....how sad because of those lyrics , the racists reared their ugly heads and continue to do so.

Posted by: angelica at July 20, 2007 2:34 PM

I saw this place, and it was a big dud. Shoddy renovation aside, it's in the back of the building and faces the light well. The bathrooms look like something out of a Maxim spread.
