Benson – what architectural detail! – the building is not a glorified tenement – it is a tenement, and the smell of the garbage bins outside the front windows must be glorious!
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the Bay Ridge co-op is the best deal here? For $200K you can live in a modern building and apartment, in one of the nicer parts of Bay Ridge.
I’d take it over that 2nd Street condo that went for double the price(which is around the corner from where I live). I don’t care how much architectural detail there is on the 2nd Street building: it’s glorified tenement. Buildings like this (with a central doorway) were designed as tenements, and the floorplan is poor.
Yes,I know that PS commands a higher price than Bay Ridge, and the commute is better. But for half the price, I’d rather come home to that Bay Ridge building and keep the change in my pocket.
ooo not sure I’m loving the italicized posts…
Anyway, it blows my mind that a small and relatively unattractive house in an under-the-radar nabe (or, at least, not over-the-radar compared to where I live: Bed-Stuy) can command a sale price of $628,000 and that my solid, brick and brownstone, loaded-with-details and in very good condition house that’s around the corner from the A train and on a decent block (OK, not gorgeous but it’s just fine) would command not much more than that if I had to sell it right now. It’s 3 times as large too… jeesh.
Happy Holidays to you too!
No- not us. We have an ugly old aluminum siding one, but aspire to put the detail and the wood back on it someday. We also love that house though-
Have a happy holiday neighbor-
Greenwood, we are neighbors! You wouldn’t happen to be in that house I love…the fully detached grayish/blueish frame house that has up lovely lights and wreaths between 5th and 6th?
Welcome, GG. We’re in South Slope but have lately oriented ourselves a bit more towards Greenwood and a bit less towards Slope proper. Once you’re in the frame/brick/karate school/dollar store corner of the Slope, you’re edging closer to a Greenwood state of mind, anyway. Did you do the Greenwood CSA this year?
DH — It’s all Park Slope Vicinity anyway, so none fo those boundaries matter. I think the rule for the NYT classified is, anywhere with brownstones is PS vicinity and anywhere homebuyers might turn after two years of looking but being priced out of the Slope is PS vicinity, too.
“Greenwood is a state of mind… a mood” – a place where people are dead and buried.
ISNH- 18th, and loving it.
