Condo of the Day: 56 Bergen Street FSBO
Most of the FSBO listings we’ve looked at recently have done a good job at making up for their publicity disadvantage by outdoing the brokerage firms on presentation. Not so today’s FSBO, a, 850-square-foot two-bedroom at 56 Bergen Street in Cobble Hill. The listing boasts of big renovations done last year, but, frankly, the quality…
Most of the FSBO listings we’ve looked at recently have done a good job at making up for their publicity disadvantage by outdoing the brokerage firms on presentation. Not so today’s FSBO, a, 850-square-foot two-bedroom at 56 Bergen Street in Cobble Hill. The listing boasts of big renovations done last year, but, frankly, the quality of the photos is so bad it’s hard to get much of a feel for them. The most compelling part of the listing (and, coincidentally, the best photographed) is the 265-square-foot canopied deck, which looks inviting indeed. Price tag? $797,000. You buying it? There was an open house yesterday, and there will be another one on December 7 from 1 to 3 p.m.

I don’t see this lisitng on Corcoran’s web site — the only 2 BRs thay have at $699K are not in PS 321, and the only 2 BRs they have in PS 321 for $699K or less are at the Crest or the Novo.
Oh, I forgot to add that the Corcoran 699 listing also has an amazing roof deck.
$937/sf?
Ridiculous. Corcoran has a MUCH bigger (1150 sf) 2BR, 1BA in center slope (PS321) for 699K, and they are supposed to be aggressive with their prices. These owners are extremely unrealistic.
really steve – there is simply no comparison in terms of location. wouldn’t be caught dead in downtown bkln and this location if really the best – even if street is a little noisy.
100% Tax Abatement through 2009
– 20% annual increase up to current appraised tax in 2013 of $1,043/year
How does that work? In 2009, the taxes will be roughly $87/month? I don’t get the math… that’s clearly too low.
Nice looking place, though.

While I haven’t been to that new building I would say though that the corner of Schermerhorn & Hoyt is very different than Bergen between Smith & Court – and not in a good way.
Outdoor space is everything in Brownstone Brooklyn, cw. Stop spending so much time indoors in front of your computer. lol
When are people going to learn to do comps correctly before listing an apartment? I can go a few blocks away, buy more square footage in the BeAtSchermerhorn with 2 bathrooms, not 1, a walk in closet and a balcony for almost the same price. And it would be brand new construction, not an old building with sagging floors and potential issues. In today’s market, this apartment is at least $50 to $75,000 overpriced.
Don’t love having to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom, but it seems like a pretty nice place. I don’t really give a rat’s ass about outdoor space, but for people who dig that kind of thing, the deck is gorgeous.
