Condo of the Day: 98 Bergen Street, #2
Brownstone condo conversions don’t always work very well, but unless we’re getting fooled by the fisheye, we’d say that this floor-through at 98 Bergen Street in Boerum Hill turned out very nicely. Granted the second bedroom is mighty small and there’s only one bathroom, but the finishes and layout seem to work pretty nicely. Plus…

The apartment itself is asking $750,000. Within reach?

The WL listing is a coop, and this is a condo. I would say that’s not a comp.
@ 25% down you’re saying 4480 or 4920 is the same buyer
I would have to disagree that folks making <200k have that much variance in their budget – 440 per month (10% increase) is significant
“It’s really small, I can see through the careful staging that there is a dearth of closets and the living room is too small to accommodate both a dining table and a couch.” (Maly)
Yeah, no kidding.
I’m not getting this price. Maybe they think it’s justified with the low maintenance? But maintenance is not a fixed expense, so .. . . no, doesn’t justify a $1000 dollars a foot.
The WL listing is 357 6th avenue between 4th and 5th st.
BoreumHill: Of course it’s a comp. I don’t think people with a budget of 750K for an apartment would ever expect maintenance this low. Even $730 a month is cheap.
I don’t know the address of the WL listing, but I think it looks solid.
I saw that Prospect Heights one you’re referencing. Garden is awesome, but I prefer the apartment of the Center Slope one.
11217 – do you know the addy of that WL PS listing?
FWIW, I don’t think a $444 difference in cc = a comp.
WL has some pretty sweet stuff for sale; they have a 2 bdrm with a huge private garden in Prospect Heights for around $779K. It’s right off Flatbush, and seems like a great value to me.
11217, you’re right I would rather have warren lewis listing.
98 bergen nicely designed but that seems like a lot of money.
For 745K, I’d rather have this:
