Co-op of the Day: 474 3rd Street
Here’s an attractive two-bedroom in a lovely (albeit elevator-less) limestone building on one of the Slope’s grander streets. The pre-war apartment appears to have retained much of its original charm, including pocket doors and and woodwork around the windows though (what happened to the crown moldings, though?). This apartment also has its own entrance to…
Here’s an attractive two-bedroom in a lovely (albeit elevator-less) limestone building on one of the Slope’s grander streets. The pre-war apartment appears to have retained much of its original charm, including pocket doors and and woodwork around the windows though (what happened to the crown moldings, though?). This apartment also has its own entrance to the building’s common garden. Given the 321 factor, the asking price of $819,000 seems achievable to us. What think you?

Fish n’ Chips–Middle school admissions is constantly changing, but it’s not zoned the same way elementary schools are zoned.
MS 51 and MS 88 in Park Slope both have great programs, but there are other great public schools available throughout the borough and the city.
What happened to typekey?
I think its a tad overpriced and therefore not moving very fast considering its on a prime block but I don’t doubt someone will buy it eventually for that price since it only takes one person. I might buy this for $775K since I figure I need to put in at least $75K to redo the kitchen and bathroom.
I live in prime BH with similar dimesions as this apt but my kitchen and bath were completely renovated within the last 3 years and it was estimated at $825K last fall and my building has an elevator and basement storage.
Where is typekey? Signing in doesn’t even seem to be an option anymore.
RE: Anon 7:55
Why would you assume that a family buying in PS only has one or two because if they have any more they’ll have to move to the suburbs? I am sure that in the event that they chose to have more children they would. So please don’t be sad for them. I too live in Ditmas Park vicinity and have 8 bedrooms. This was a real estate decision not a family planning event! Get back on topic.
321 premium my arse! What about my John Jay discount for living in that part of town?!? For Christ’s sake! Where do PS parents send their children to middle and secondary school?!?! I don’t get it. You pay a 321 premium when you move into the nabe and then you must pay 25-30k per year per child to send your post 6th grade children to private school anyway! What a joke!
“Most people only have one or two children in Park Slope… I find that so sad.”
WTF? Do you think people want to have more kids but don’t because of space issues?
My wife and I have (cure dramatic organ music) NO children, and we have no plans to have them. I find that so sad… no wait, I don’t. At all.
5:40PM; When we lived in UWS, my son went to MSC where there were so many involved parents and great fundraising power. So I do not need to be told that parentsﾕ involvement is an important factor. Maybe PS 9 was more academically better than MSC. We’ve chosen the school over G&T program. But my son loved his school and so did we. I always hate the “this school is better than other school” argument. And I can’t believe that that kind of judgment is come from a teacher. My belief is it’s okay that your kid is not going to PS 321 as long as his school has good environment to learn. It’s parent’s job that make sure kids are learning, and many school can offer supports. Talk to parents and make decision that what’s best for your family. If you cannot think of any other school rather than PS 312, may be the school is your choice then. My son is now going to PS 102 in Bay Ridge. He is learning beautifully. You still might say PS 321 is better. And off course PS 102 is not a perfect school. But I don’t think we made a wrong decision to come to Bay Ridge.
I saw this when it first was shown around 2 months ago too and was very underwhelmed. So was everyone else who was looking, which I guess is why it hasn’t sold still. The backyard in particular seemed like a dismal joke, and the “private entrance” to the backyard was equally depressing.
The debate here about whether or not it is priced right makes no sense unless you see the place. In theory it might be worth 900k, but once you go for the tour, you wouldn’t fork over 700k — you’d need to put at least 150K into it to make it start to get close to as nice as what it could be. But that backyard would still be worthless.
