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?

Turn the maid’s room into a dining room, take down the partition between dining room and living room and if you ever need a third bedroom, carve it out from the right end of the living room and you’ve got a solution to the guest bathroom issue. I’d also knock out the divider between the foyer and dining room and maybe a closet or two to open the space up a little.
Otherwise it’s a great space at a very reasonable price for a prime PS location. A year ago there’s no way it would have been priced at under a milllion and if you intend to stay for awhile, when the market goes back up eventually you will definitely be able to sell at a higher price.
oh my. you mean you have to walk thru TWO WHOLE ROOMS to get to the bathroom!?!? stock up on those depends. people get so fussy about their bathrooms hahaha.

First, this apratment actually looks like 1500 sq ft compared with what is seen so oftern — 2 beds/bath and a kitchen in the living room.
Second, the maint. is actually reasonable — full service is at least $1.50+ these days (real estate and energy are killing everyone).
Well I don’t know actually. I was just speaking that it’s just across the plaza from this building. I don’t know what the actual view is like from this particular apartment though…
“Put it into perspective, people….from out the window you can see On Prospect Park where a similar size apartment would sell (and did sell) for a million dollars more.”
‘No, I’m not in the Meir, but if I squint I can see it through the tree branches.’
And can you from this apartment?
“Am I not reading the floorplan right, or is there no way to get to the bathroom except through one of the bedrooms?”
I didn’t notice that. All the bathrooms are ensuite. Assuming the maids room is used as a a den, the only “public” bathroom is throuhg the kitchen and den. Take 50K off the price.
Also, the terlet situation seems strange. There is absolutely no shortage of places to shower and such, but if you are entertaining…
There is nowhere to piss that doesn’t require walking completely through the full length of a room (or two). This is normal for a place with 1 pooper, but for an apartment with more full bathrooms than full bedrooms, it seems odd.

I was crushing on it, but there is no mention of a view and it looks to be on a lower floor. If it were up high with a view (in any direction) I’d say it was price was in the park. But without the view it is 900K for a very nice 2 bedroom plus den in a great building with a really high monthly. That doesn’t strike me as very “March 2009” at all. Take off a hundred K and you’re talking.
