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?).

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?

i’d love to see the links to the 3 bedrooms with garden on the same block for sure.
link them here…
This is way overpriced. While it is a great block. There are other three bedroom apartments in the $800,000.00s on the smae block with garden access. Based on that fact along, the listing is overpriced. Of course, based on some of the previous posts, who thought the $800,000 was reasonable. Someone, without looking into any comparitives, will buy it and pay $50 for a $20 bill. The market is not inflated; it is just filled with idiots.
Park Sloper-
What do you mean “even in this market”?
that’s well and good 2:23 but you have a great deal. while i haven’t crunched the numbers, to find a similar 2 bedroom like this near 3rd street would be next to impossible for what you pay.
i’d say closer to 4K a month would be more like it. still probably cheaper than the mortgage, but i’m just sayin..
you’ve got a bargain.
take a look at these prices (just an example on the upper west side) and then tell me this place is overpriced.
and certainly we’d all probably agree for better or worse that ps 321 is better than many options on the upper west side.
over a million for a 1 bedroom…

I live on 2nd Street between 5th and 6th in a huge 2-bedroom in a slightly less attractive 8-family walk-up.
I pay $2150. Now, would I double my monthly payments and commit to a 30-year debt just to live in this building which probably has a slightly nicer kitchen and nothing else?
Ahh, no.
I have no doubt this is a nice place, but $800K is just crazy.
“And you can find that for significantly less than 819k.”
and you can also find it for 3 million dollars. so what it your point??
if you are simply looking for the largest space for the lowest price possible, i’m afraid you might be looking in the wrong city. certainly the wrong borough of nyc.
thank you for a bit of sanity park sloper.
i’m glad someone else here has some concept of the value of good park slope housing stock.
I am not talking about putting as many people as one can into an apartment. If anything, your assumption is ignorant.
This is about practicality. You cannot comfortably live with two kids in this space, fifth room notwithstanding. So one has to compare this place to other places that are suitable for a family of three. And you can find that for significantly less than 819k.
A dining room and some pocket doors aren’t worth 200k to me, but perhaps it is to someone else.
