Price Cuts at 156 Pulaski Street

156-Pulaski-1109.jpg
Pulaski Street between Tompkins and Throop in Bed Stuy can't be an easy place to sell condos anytime let alone in a bearish market, so we have great sympathy for the Corcoran duo that's taken over the marketing reins at 156 Pulaski Street. The nine-unit condo project hit the market last February, and Aptandlofts.com managed to move a five of units in the first few months despite challenging financing conditions that killed several deals. Corcoran took over in August and just trimmed prices on three out of the four remaining units. As a result, Unit 1A and Unit 1B, which were both $299,000, are now available for $275,000, while Unit 2B is now $199,000, down from $239,000.

is that a 5 foot wide building or part of the one to the left of it?

That building is awesome, even with the noncontextual balconies. Looks like New Orleans

Why does the facial hair on those brokers look fake?

Posted by: the chicken at November 5, 2009 9:44 AM

Why are the duplex apartments only one bedroom. The configuration of these apartments is weird. There is clearly enough space for at least two bedrooms.

Posted by: A CrownHeightsLady at November 5, 2009 9:56 AM

It's probably a windows issue.

You're right though, why would you have an indicated "play area" when you don't have a bedroom for the kid?

Posted by: the chicken at November 5, 2009 10:04 AM

No shower rod? And the bath area doesn't look tiled- is that one of those awful fiberglass enclosures with metal seams?

Posted by: bxgrl at November 5, 2009 10:08 AM

It has to do with building code. This is not technically residential space, so they can't indicate it is.

I hate lazy contractors!

"It has to do with building code. This is not technically residential space, so they can't indicate it is. "


So is that space considered below grade?

Posted by: A CrownHeightsLady at November 5, 2009 10:19 AM

It could be more than 50% below grade, or it doesn't provide egress, or ??? I can't really see in the floorplan what is the matter exactly. In essence, you are buying a 400sf 1bedroom with a 400sf rehearsal space for your band or any other loud hobby you may have.

I wish I could see pictures of the duplex. Am I missing something? Are they there somewhere?

Posted by: alsawo at November 5, 2009 10:52 AM

Can't you get a larger one-bedroom in a better neighborhood for about 25K more these days? Prices still seem really, really high to me for the area/square footage.

Posted by: Heather at November 5, 2009 10:57 AM

one word comes to mind....Horrible !!!they arent even worth 100K

newsflash! a lot of parents live in apartments where the kid has no bedroom. of course, these arent the kinds of people who have 1/2 of a million dollars to buy a virtual DUMP!

ANOTHER NEWSFLASH! one can have a play area in their home without having kids you know.

Are those the "poor people" that I keep hearing about? Damn poor people and their penny-pinching ways....

Posted by: the chicken at November 5, 2009 11:35 AM

Is this the old building with the weird extension and ugly balconies, or the hideous monstrosity on the right?

Posted by: zinka at November 5, 2009 11:41 AM


This is not an attractive block.

You're right Rob - they're called "Living Rooms"!

Posted by: the chicken at November 5, 2009 1:02 PM

These layouts are problematic in the extreme, and the style of the kitchens and baths is standard Home Depot. You could get much better bang for the same buck in a pre-war coop in Flatbush or Jackson Heights or in one of the Apts & Lofts type condos in Williamsburg or Bushwick.
