Condo of the Day: The Ansonia, Apt. 4D
Why would a broker leave out both the square footage tally and the floorplan? Kinda makes you wonder. This two-bedroom, two-bath condo at the Ansonia on 12th Street in the South Slope looks like a decent apartment, but lack of basic information is frustrating nonetheless.

Why would a broker leave out both the square footage tally and the floorplan? Kinda makes you wonder. This two-bedroom, two-bath condo at the Ansonia on 12th Street in the South Slope looks like a decent apartment, but lack of basic information is frustrating nonetheless. The price was recently cut (from what, we do not know) to $999,000. Given that it’s hard to believe this is any bigger than 1,100 square feet or so, it still doesn’t look like they’re giving it away. Can anyone speak to the size and layout of this place?

The NYC subway system is all pretty appalling, I don’t think that the F is any netter or worse than any of the other noisy, rat-infested lines.
I don’t know – I take the F all the time and it seems fine to me. Maybe the Ansonia never lingered before, but it is now – check out the Corcoran 3BR I mentioned. Climate is changing, period.
This Ansonia building’s apartments are always listed high, higher than the neighboring Ansonias for some reason. Their floorplans (when included) appear “real” sized, as opposed to a carved up brownstone, and they have outdoor space. And regardless of what people say, they do not linger on the market long. People like having access to PS 107 around the corner and the park. Is it worth the high cost, I don’t know.
“There are F train haters out there”
LOL…probably everyone who has ever ridden the F train.
Meant to say there are some NICE park blocks in south slope (of course there are park blocks, just meant to point out that some of them do have nice architecture – though overall, architecture is less grand/more industrial as you move south in the slope.
Aren’t they in litigation with the sponsors?
I like South Slope too, but a lot of people don’t. There are F train haters out there, and the architecture as you move south in slope gets less beautiful even if there are some park blocks in the south slope. But I agree that the Ansonia prices have been high and maybe people are starting to think it’s overpriced – another listing, 3BR, (from Corcoran) came on at almost 1.6 and was recently cut to 1.5 and is lingering. Part of the problem with this building is that it was converted to condos right at the start of the major boom (right after 2000) so prices just raced up and up and up – the building has never known anything else (unlike older properties, that have been through boom and bust cycles). I suspect prices in this building, as everywhere else, will see much bigger price cuts.
maybe he doesnt like parks, shopping, and subways. it’s possible. :-/

“not crazy about the location”
Might I ask why? You have dining and shopping right on 7th Ave. You’re two blocks from 5th ave, two blocks from the park, three blocks from the subway? What’s not to like?
