Co-op of the Day: 415 9th Street, Apt. 53
A prewar bedroom in Park Slope for $699,000? Sounds good to us. The only bummer about this fifth-floor apartment at 415 9th Street, as far as we can see, is the fact that it’s a four-flight walk-up, making it a toughie for families still stuck in the stroller age.

A prewar bedroom in Park Slope for $699,000? Sounds good to us. The only bummer about this fifth-floor apartment at 415 9th Street, as far as we can see, is the fact that it’s a four-flight walk-up, making it a toughie for families still stuck in the stroller age. If your rugrats are already school-age, though, this could work, no? The apartment has a clean, light prewar aesthetic going on and a common roofdeck upstairs. The one piece of crucial info that’s omitted from the listing is square footage. We have a hunch the bedrooms are gonna be on the small side. Anyone know this building? If you don’t, you can check it out at the open house on Sundayfrom 1 to 3 pm.

Let’s correct a few things: 75% of the building is owner occupied. Fact. There are no bars on windows in the stairwell. Fact. Just wanted to clear that up.
I’m with the rest of the crew here — as a parent of a baby and a toddler, I wouldn’t even waste the calories burnt going up the stairs to check the place out. But then again, at that price I wouldn’t have done it if I had no kids and was a marathoner. Honestly, is Park Slope KIDDING with these prices? I don’t even agree that the layout is great. Nothing about this apartment says wow. Hope it sits there a long time, but based on historic evidence, I’m sure there will be a bidding war because there’s always some crazy mofo out there willing to keep this insane market puttering along.
Well, 8:59, it might be a relative steal at 325K in February 2009 or 2010!
I saw an apartment in this building a couple years ago. The place reminded me very much of the building I lived in on the Upper West side. I think at least one of the rooms and maybe the kitchen faced an airshaft. And the flights of stairs up to the apt. weren’t nice. Sort of dreary and institutional, with barred windows looking out on tar roofs, ugly brick walls. It lacked the charm of, say, a brownstone building and apt.
Welcome to the Depression 2007 – at least this is the prelude and set-up. Once the market value of these apartments collapse, they will be the ideal symbolic hovel – four flights up and a crushing monthly cost during a time of declining economic options and income. Yup, this apartment is a steal!
I could not deal with a fifth floor walkup. That is, like, the immigrant experience circa 1890. At least you would have your own bathroom. There’s a big concession to the twentieth century.
The building is really ugly too.
I think when a room opens off the living room with french doors, it’s a former dining room, agreed. I wouldn’t like this layout. I have a friend who built a new home in the suburbs and they actually built it with the master bedroom opening directly off the living room! I’m like, you planned it that way? Yuck. Bedrooms and bathrooms always always always need to have at least a small hallway dividing them from public spaces. If it can be helped. Which in NYC is often not the case of course.
This will sell to a single or a young couple who want extra space, rather than a family. Nothing wrong with that. Anything a single or young couple are looking at in Park Slope that’s more than 1 BR is going to be in this price range anyway.

A, the place i am thinking of must have been a different line. it was def. a 2 bedroom, probably no more than 850 sq ft. it was FSBO and I think it went for 550K.
