Condo of the Day: 584 Pacific Street
The owners of this townhouse triplex have had to scale back their expectations as the market has fallen away from them over the last couple of years. The 1,800-square-foot apartment first hit the market in November of 2007 with Sotheby’s asking $1,895,000; it was reduced to $1,595,000 before being pulled off the market last fall….

Now Brown Harris Stevens has been picked for the relaunch with a spiffy new price tag of $1,200,000. That’s gotta be pretty close to reality, no?

Sorry, ENY, what can I say?
Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streets
And watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows?…
I should have been a pair of ragged claws
Scuttling across the floors of silent seas…
Far be it from me
To foster poetastry
Leopard’s spots change not
Um, I’m not sure I actually agreed to anything in particular, but yes, I did admit that I was getting a little disgusted with the haiku-ification…it was nice, though, to try to search for the essence and leave out a lot of the blither…
But “Blither R Me” so why fight nature?
Ditmas!!
Yesterday I got BrooklynGreen to admit haiku is lame, and to agree not to do it anymore. Don’t mess it up now!

My dear BrooklynGreene
In this I may be alone
I miss the haiku
“Pacific & 4th has no light (fewer horns)”
Huh? Sure it does.
Yes, it is immediately apparent that the renovation incorporated the upper two floors of the house and a rooftop extension was added.
The “coveted” (in the ad verbiage) garden is, yes, the Pacific Street Community Garden. Now, the garden group gives keys to everyone on the block but just about anyone, from what I understand, can join the garden, get a key, and if he/she wants to have a plot, get on the waiting list. So, basically, if you leave 10 blocks away, you can join the garden and get a key as well. It’s not Gramercy Park in that sense.
It IS a lovely garden.
I like the layout of the apartment, and even though I’m for convenient access to the major transportation hub we have in our neighborhood, I don’t think I would love living this close to it! It really is very noisy and busy around there. And Ratner’s uglification of PC Richards and Modell’s is completely and utterly anti-Jane Jacobs. The wall of cinderblock that faces this street of townhouses and brick apartments is a spiritual dead zone. It’s really a travesty.
Other than that, the community garden (which successfully battled Ratner over the years) is a spectacular oasis.
Did I add anything of worth to the discussion? Not sure…
37% under the original ask? I guess this cancels out the Willow Street coop a few posts down.
Given the size of the building, this unit would seem to have more square footage (triplex)and therefore about 3/4 of the “vote count” in any condo decision.
I think “keyed garden” means that everyone with a key has acces. Presumably that’s just the two units in this building.
