Co-op of the Day: Price Cut at 35 PPW Whopper

The place needs updates. So it's a challenge to decide which photos of which rooms to put on the listing. Interesting that Corcoran chose not to include a photo of the kitchen probably because it's not new enough, but it's a bright sunny room and I enjoyed seeing that picture BHS did post. I love vintage stoves though, and the tile all over the walls is something to see. Also BHS showed that wide hallway with the big windows but not the dark granny parlor.

The BHS listing is SO much better than the Corcoron listing--better photos, better floorplan.

Almost 50K a year in maintenance?

amazing apt, but can't imagine who would pay that much in this market to live in park slope...

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:13 PM

i see nothing exceptional about this apt except the price.at this price range particularly in bklyn, buyers are expecting to be blown away. this is a very ordinary apt in a nice location with a large outdoor space.not worth 5.8 million

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:19 PM

The outdoor space alone is larger than the indoor space of 90% those reading this site right now.

And you don't think that's special?

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:21 PM

not 5.8 mil special

"The outdoor space alone is larger than the indoor space of 90% those reading this site right now."

Aren't 90% of the readers of this site brownstone owners? The average brownstone is 3800 square feet. The average brownstone yard is 1000 square feet.

Its nice, but not 6 million nice. Even if I could conceive of spending that much $ on a home, I dont think this place would be at the top of my list.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:27 PM

This apartment would move if staged properly.

It looks straight out of "Moonstruck."

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:29 PM

That's a tremendous amount of outdoor space.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:30 PM

"Aren't 90% of the readers of this site brownstone owners?"

Nope.

6 MILLIOn IN PARK SLOPE WITH $4200 A MONTH FEES

this is insane and the fact that it has not sold speaks volumes

this is funny

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:35 PM

Does the in window kitchen AC mean this is a nearly $6MM listing without central ac? Also, what's up with no ventilation hood over the stove?

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:40 PM

Wasn't this place listed as in contract just a few weeks ago?

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:41 PM

"Wasn't this place listed as in contract just a few weeks ago?"

Yes.

"From the amazing 2300 sq. ft. surround terrace the visual and sensual experiences are endless".....!!!!

I think that means you can stand on the roof and pleasure yourself while you observe the common folk below.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:44 PM

The deal feel apart, they will never get close to this price. It is worth around $3.5 mil.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:51 PM

The deal did not fall apart.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:54 PM

Perhaps there was no deal to fall apart.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:55 PM

If fully renovated brownstones are selling for near 3.5 million near here (which they are), I do not agree that an apt. of this size and scale with this kind of outdoor space in one of the nicest full service buildings in Brooklyn is "worth" the same price, 1:51.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:55 PM

Instead of that maintenance price, I'd buy a brownstone and hire live-in help. THAT's full service. And MUCH cheaper.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 1:59 PM

I'm so glad Corcoran defined "terrace" for me. I always thought it meant "laundry in building."

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 2:00 PM

As was already discussed last week, 1:59, there are people who have multiple homes and like the full service buildings. They simply don't want a NY home to upkeep. They want to come, stay for a few weeks and be able to leave and not think about the place when they aren't using it.

This will most likely be one of those buyers.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 2:03 PM

"people who have multiple homes and like the full service buildings" buy in Manhattan.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 2:06 PM

I guess it never was in contract--it was bullshit.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 2:09 PM

Actually I know several people in Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, 2:06 who have homes elsewhere. Two I can think of off the top of my head have 4 homes, in fact.

On a smaller scale...almost everyone on my block has at least a 2nd home in the Hamptons, Catskills or Jersey Shore.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 2:09 PM

"almost everyone on my block has at least a 2nd home in the Hamptons, Catskills or Jersey Shore"

Do they live in full service buildings or brownstones?

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 2:28 PM

full service.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 2:35 PM

I own a piece of cow pasture in Wisconsin AND a house in Park Slope.
"Endless pleasure" would involve peering down on the common folk wearing some form of tantric mastabatory infared goggles for 6 million don't you think 1:44?

The tWhat is a bitter renter and a loser with no formal education.

Go back and finish high school.

And get a job.

Notice that when the facts on this site don't support her position, the tWhat changes the subject.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 3:51 PM

Looks like a perfect place for Spitzer to move

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 4:35 PM

if its full service can I get 1/2 and 1/2?

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 4:56 PM

the lack of a private elevator in the apartment so i don't have to sully my feet on the stairs was a deal breaker for me.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 5:52 PM

YOu can hire the tWhat to carry you around, 5:52. He needs a job.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 6:50 PM

Hmmm, for over $1600/sf, I'm guessing most potential buyers would opt for Manhattan, no? Especially since this place also probably needs major renovations.

Posted by: guest at March 10, 2008 8:30 PM

Appears to be in contract now. Yowza.
