Condo of the Day: 145 Park Place, #2G
This second-floor two-bedroom at 145 Park Place in Park Slope is looking like a pretty good deal to us after a reduction last month brought the asking price down to $695,000. The only major thing working against the 1,360-square-foot pad (assuming you like the new condo look) is that the second bedroom is windowless, hence…
This second-floor two-bedroom at 145 Park Place in Park Slope is looking like a pretty good deal to us after a reduction last month brought the asking price down to $695,000. The only major thing working against the 1,360-square-foot pad (assuming you like the new condo look) is that the second bedroom is windowless, hence its technically being referred to as a home office. Otherwise, this seems pretty compelling on a price-per-square-foot basis, no?

The location is amazing, but this apartment is on the noisy Flatbush side. I didn’t see anyone posting about the horrible subway noise, either. I went to look at this apartment and stayed about twenty minutes. The whole apartment shakes and vibrates and the subway noise is ridiculous. The developer thought they could get nearly a million dollars for this place, but buyers know better. It’s a great building, but this apartment is the bad apple in the barrel. Stribling is trying to dump this apartment and get out of the building once and for all. I think this is their last unit. Maybe there’s one or two more, tops. At least 90% sold and there’s only a couple of units that aren’t owner-occupied. If there wasn’t any subway noise and the 2nd bedroom had a window, this would be phenomenal. But it’s not.
OH – and that awful hemorrhoid billboard has been replaced by a much classier Holiday Inn add.
winelover: What would you do about light if you made the sitting area another bedroom? All the windows are on that terrace wall. As it is, must be pretty dark down the other end.
It’s not my kind of place, but I think this qualifies as a large one bedroom, not “large-ish.” The sq. ft. asking price might not be gotten, but is not crazy, nor is the maintenance (including taxes) for this kind of place — a single person or couple who like a certain kind of entertaining. That’s who they seem to be going after despite the location.
Living on Flatbush sucks, but the general location is actually pretty darn good relative to proximity to the B/Q and 2/3 and event the Park. Agree that the lack of 2nd bedroom is a problem, but there is a ton of living and entertainment space. Its not for most, but for someone. The one positive thing I have to say in favor of this building in comparison to most new construction is that the living/dining spaces are quite large. The crap on 4th Ave and elsewhere have such freaking small living spaces. I guess if you are never home its fine, but if you like to actually live at home and entertain etc, i just dont get it.
11217, don’t discourage Wine Lover. I think a downpayment has already been deposited on this unit.
I’m now noticing that quite a few of the recent transactions have sold for 100-300K less than what was paid for the same units in 2007. Many sellers in this building are taking a loss.
I say stay away.
Ugly building, crap location. I’ve looked at a few units in there. After the first one I saw I guess I just went back out of boredom. If anything in this building trades above seller’s cost it’s a testament to the buyer’s poor negotiating skills.
There’s no way $4300 is even in the ballpark of reasonable. Do you know how many years it would take for rent going “up up up” to eclipse this absurd price tag?!
It’s a large-ish ONE-bedroom apartment. Oh yeah, and the monthly maintenance that’s almost as much as the FULL RENT for 1-bedroom apartments. That’s also going to continue to go UP UP UP.
If you even entertain buying this apartment, you are officially on my “You’re a Fucking Douche Bag” list.
> i don’t know what you think people pay in rent..
I don’t know what YOU think people pay in rent, but if you think people are throwing down $4300/mo for a 1BR on the second floor facing Flatbush Avenue, then you need to lay off the sauce.

You don’t need to take advice from a known bstoner racist.
