Co-op of the Year? 35 Prospect Park West
Whoa! Several readers emailed this new listing at 35 Prospect Park West to us yesterday, and with good reason. If the nine-room co-op ends up fetching anywhere near its asking price of $6,500,000, it’ll roughly double the highest price we’re aware of a co-op in Brooklyn ever going for. This could do it, too. We’re…

Whoa! Several readers emailed this new listing at 35 Prospect Park West to us yesterday, and with good reason. If the nine-room co-op ends up fetching anywhere near its asking price of $6,500,000, it’ll roughly double the highest price we’re aware of a co-op in Brooklyn ever going for. This could do it, too. We’re talking about 3,500 square feet of interior space over two floor in one of the (if not the) best prewar apartment buildings in Park Slope; throw in another 2,300 square feet of wrap-around terrace space and you’re looking at a pretty killer pad. As for the price, this is one of those unique places that defies comps and simply hinges on the question of whether the right super-rich person will walk in the door and fall in love. Note: This is a co-exclusive between Corcoran and Brown Harris Stevens.

I think that the people who can afford this are probably swimming in cash, and a 7% interest rate would probably not tip them over the edge…
1. Can’t Corcoran afford better photo’s. My handy dandy Canon power shot takes great photo’s cost about $275 to buy…
2. I highly doubt at such a high price they are paying 6% commission.
In fact I don’t think commissions are at 6% any more..
Even 3% that’s $195,000..
A place like this, you need CASH a lot of it….
I wonder how it will sell with Mortgages Rates now getting very close to 7% and talk of them going up on Wednesday..
Wow this looks great! I’m going to check into it. thanks for the tip as always Brownstoner!!
I’m sure if you are prequalified and in the market for something in this price range Corcoran will gladly send a messenger over with 6 x 10’s of each room for your viewing pleasure.
For us poor peeping tom’s..the pic on website will ahve to do.
Is it possible that they’re not getting a 6% rip? Wah! It blocks out the sun! The building has been there for quite awhile… would have thought you’d get over it by now seeing as you probably never lived there without it.
does there little mortgage calculator go that high?
Nice place – leave it to Corcoran to cheap out on the promotion. They obviously started drooling over the commission that they couldn’t take the time to take a decent photo of the place
That building is OUT OF CONTEXT!! It is a an aberration! A scar on the neighborhood! IT BLOCKS OUT THE SUN!
It should be torn down. What were those developers thinking? How will the community ever recover?
Is it really too much to ask that the broker put up in-focus pictures when you’re selling a $6.5MM apartment. Perhaps a few more than 4?
Sheesh. I would think you could get Annie Leibowitz to photograph it for a small piece of the $390,000 commission.
