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?

1 bed, 1 bath
700 ft²
Maintenance: $1,258
It’s been on the market for two years, and the seller is offering “FREE! TWO YEARS MAINTENANCE!!”
A price drop from $495,000 to $349,000 still hasn’t moved it.
I love the idea of having the maid’s room be the office, and having the guests walk through there to get to the bathroom.
That way the guests have a little privacy when they’re off playin’ the lottery.
columbiatch recommends destroying the apartment to solve the bathroom situation. Brilliant idea. Are you a contractor?
Or you could just use the maid’s room as a den/smoking room/place to store guest coats and access the bathroom through there, as many in classic apartments such as this do on the Upper East Side.
Now this is what I call a floorplan. I’d get through of that stupid passthrough to the kitchen, of course, and replace it with more doors, as many as possible. A kitchen needs doors so the rest of the apartment doesn’t smell like rack of lamb. Only downside here is that the main rooms might be a little too big. I don’t like to rattle around.
This is a beautiful building in a fantastic location. The maintenance is totally in line with similar apartments in similar buildings. The only downside is that it isn’t in the famous PS 321 zone. But they will have no problem getting that price.
Yes, Tinarina,
47 Plaza Street West is also a Candela.
I believe these are the only two in Brooklyn…
Maintenance is much too high, full-service bldg or not. I’d take a long, detailed look at the coop’s financials over the past 5-7 years to see how many times the maintenance was increased and if it were concurrent with bldg projects. If it were, I’d be very concerned. What if the roof goes? Does my maintenance go up $300? These are important questions.
Wow, I didn’t realize there was a Rosario Candela building in Brooklyn. I think the layout’s pretty swell, assuming you could figure out a way to use the maid’s bath as a powder room/guest bath.
And the maintenance isn’t that high for a full-service building and 1500 sf…
It looks like the foyer has 3 closets plus a pass-through to one of the bedrooms.
Put a toilet and sink in one of those closets and it could be nice.
