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?

i’ve been marking your words for quite a while now, fran.
been predicting that housing crash in brooklyn for what is it…3 years or so now??
“Mark my words, in a couple of years when things settle down, this apartment will be worth much less than 800,000.”
oh god…you’re one of those.
too bad you’ll forever be left out of the nyc real estate market with that attitude. i guess you also said 5 years ago when this place was 200K that it couldn’t possibly go any higher.
poor thing.
Actually I would rate PS 107 with 321 and it is much less crowded. I think many parents there prefer that it be kept under the radar.
To add to 12:28, not only are you going to pay (dearly) to live in PS, but you (still) won’t be able to get a parking space, AND there are other excellent public schools in Brooklyn that are NOT 321.
But, if PS is for, it’s okay and I could see it going for 800K. People love 3rd street.
Really This PS321 thing is out of control. Hey parents the other schools cannot be that bad. Any way maybe YOU could make them better and save money at the same time by moving to the other schools…
Don’t disparage the suburbs of Atlanta, some of them are really nice.
Mark my words, in a couple of years when things settle down, this apartment will be worth much less than 800,000.
Especially as it is a building with holdover rental tenants, and really, as one gets older, the idea of shlepping up stairs to get to your apartment becomes a real PITA.
This unit is priced about $200,000 more on average than 2 BR co-ops inside the PS 282 Park Slope district. I don’t get it. You could pay for the most expensive private K-5 school in Manhattan and send your kid in a private car service every day, for that. And have some money left to pay for Middle School.
You’re paying to live in the Slope. Period. You can get a much nicer home in many other Brooklyn neighborhoods, for much less money.
Actually, re anon 12:01, you CAN find a similarly sized 2 br on the UWS for well under 1 mil. And it won’t be a walkup. You’re paying for PS 321 (zoned UWS schools are spotty).
I know this because we just bought on the UWS after looking at Park Slope. Ps has lower maintenance but for us working in Midtown it would have meant a much longer commute.
My only objection to this property at this price is the small 2nd br. These folks have twins, it appears (2 highchairs), so I’d imagine they’d entertain a good offer below 800k. I’d say if you paid $780K you’re on the money.
