Condo of the Day: 838 President Street, #3
This new listing at 838 President Street in Park Slope ain’t your typical brownstone apartment. The duplex condo consists of the original top floor of the house plus a modern master-suite rooftop addition. The whole shebang adds up to 1,340 square feet of indoor space and another 600 square feet of outdoor space. The challenge…
This new listing at 838 President Street in Park Slope ain’t your typical brownstone apartment. The duplex condo consists of the original top floor of the house plus a modern master-suite rooftop addition. The whole shebang adds up to 1,340 square feet of indoor space and another 600 square feet of outdoor space. The challenge may be finding a buyer who wants to pay $1,325,000 for a fourth-floor walk-up, albeit it a mighty nice one.

Nope, no rules but this blog has become a whole lot of inane banter and very little substance.
Recently the OT gets hundreds of comments and it seems the other threads are but an afterthought.
Where the heck are all the posters?
I think it would be perfect as a library/guest room.
11217…it’s really just an open forum for everyone to express whatever the hell they want to express about this apartment. Whether or not what they say conforms to your ideas is irrelevant.
There are no rules.
Dave, it’s not stupid. This conversation is like seeing an ad for a stereo and then mentioning how the stereo sucks because deaf people won’t like it.
You don’t want your kids to sleep on another floor from you? Well 1. No one said that only people with kids buy apartments and 2. If you hate that idea, you will go look at one of the other 20,000 properties for sale in NYC.
Given that outdoor space is such a nice luxury in this city besides the 3% of those who own brownstones and have yards, it might just be nice to look outside your box for a minute and realize that it’s possible to have a conversation that doesn’t revolve solely around you. No?
Such a stupid question. No?
Probably true, smudge.
But it only takes one buyer for a sale, however.
“Btw, not everyone has children.”
I’m gonna make a wild guess that there are more people with children looking for a 3 bedroom in Park Slope than people who want a guest room to use “a couple of times a year”.
If a guest isn’t interested in being entertained in my bedroom first, I’m sure as hell not going to serve him dinner the deck.
Yes, they’re all just opinions. As are mine.
But in discussing these properties unless you are planning to buy this particular apartment, it seems like it would be wise to think about it in terms of the market at large and not just what YOU want. I mean, if that’s what you want your comments to be about, sure…go for it.
I’m just saying that if someone has kids and they don’t like the idea that they sleep on another floor, then they wouldn’t even go look at this apartment, so that entire conversation is kindof stupid, don’t ya think?
How about thinking about the apartment in terms of who it might actually be nice for instead of making it all about you and what you want, when it doesn’t seem to me that anyone on this thread is actually going to be buying this apartment.
I’d rather have a terrace on the top floor than no terrace, but that’s just me. Given that outdoor space is such a nice luxury in this city besides the 3% of those who own brownstones and have yards, it might just be nice to look outside your box for a minute and realize that it’s possible to have a conversation that doesn’t revolve solely around you. No?
