Co-op of the Day: 39 Plaza Street West
We’re liking the looks of this prewar apartment at 39 Plaza Street West in Park Slope. The 1,500-square-footer has three bedrooms (including a small maids room) along with a large foyer and a dining-living-room set-up that’s 40 feet long.

The dark-stained floors give the prewar pad a slightly modern edge, but it’s relatively understated and works with existing original details. The price of $895,000 seems pretty reasonable to us as well given the building, location, etc. Do you think it’ll get the ask?

Mopar, thank you; my point exactly.
BTW, BH76, I am on the board of my co-op. Not that this makes me an expert by any means, but we strive to have a fat reserve fund if any issues arise; that way, we’re not cash strapped and have to raise maintenance in order to rebuild our reserves.
Nice. No idea about price.
I get the feeling that the kitchen is renovated but not to my liking (but clearly I’m guessing based on the picture of a possible pass-thru?). The only thing is this is a pretty busy corner and I’m not sure being on the 3rd floor would be high enough to escape the noise. Maybe it would be with the trees blocking you, etc.
Sure thing. I’m a huge Candela fan. When I was looking to buy my place, I looked at quite a few studio apartments in Candela buildings on West End Avenue…
I’m so glad I ended up in Brooklyn and in a brownstone instead, but it wouldn’t have been terrible.
Thanks for the Candela info, 11217. Regarding maintenance, the listing doesn’t say what the deductible portion is–did they forget or is it really low?
“When the roof must be replaced, most well-managed coops institute an assessment if there are insufficient reserve funds.”
Completely wrong. Most well-run coops do not NEED to institute an assessment if the roof must be replaced because there will be sufficient funds already in reserve. Any coop that has to charge an assessment is either run very poorly or is very small and running on a strict cost basis.
Fjorder — When the roof must be replaced, most well-managed coops institute an assessment if there are insufficient reserve funds. Maintenance is for operating costs — not capital costs. The same as most homeowners.
not a lot of places to place a stroller
I love big rambling floor plans.
Not sure maintenance in any full-service building gets that much lower.
If you absolutely HAVE to live in Park Slope, you might as well do it in an apartment like this.
Now, (echoing Rob yesterday), is that a big-screen tv or artwork behind those two chairs in the living room?
Yup, that one’s a tough sell, Snark.
It’s on the first floor with the bars on the windows and all.
Not really ideal.
