Co-Op of the Day: 449 12th Street
As you might imagine, we get a fair number of emails from brokers trying to get us to write about their listings. Most of them are quite polite, proceeding along the lines of “Dear Brownstoner, Please take a look…” The email we got last night from Corcoran broker Jessica Buchman though was right out of…
As you might imagine, we get a fair number of emails from brokers trying to get us to write about their listings. Most of them are quite polite, proceeding along the lines of “Dear Brownstoner, Please take a look…” The email we got last night from Corcoran broker Jessica Buchman though was right out of a Craigslist posting. “CHECK OUT THIS HOT NEW LISTING!!!!!!” blared the subject line of the email. And that was it. Thing is, it is kind of a hot new listing. Though we expect we’re being partly influenced by some expert staging, this lofty two-bedroom condo does look pretty nice (though the buiding itself ain’t much to look at from the outside.) What do South Slopers think of the $895,000 asking price for 1,650 square feet in this location?

I see this place is still on the market. Does anyone know the scoop?
It’s funny. You go away from this site a while and then come back…it’s still mostly aggressive against the slope and pro everything north of flatbush.
We dealt with Jessica Buchman when we were looking for an apartment in the Slope, I have to say it wasn’t a pleasant experience. She didn’t take us seriously, and we wound up going w/ another broker. I’m glad this bitch didn’t get a commission from me.
Well, I’ve been in this apartment many times (my friend lives there). I have no idea how many square feet it is (who cares in the end except pathetic RE agents?), but it feels enormous and is a great open space to hang out with all those beautiful windows. Kitchen seems fine to me. As somebody who lives in a house I’d take the apartment at this point. At least you don’t go broke and insane w/heat costs and unexpected repairs.
What a crummy layout! Adjoining bedrooms with only one small windown each? And such a narrow second bedroom without a closet even? And that kitchen layout would drive me crazy. Maybe for 150K less.
I have a friend who lives in this building. It is a very nice place, and the block is nice too, skinned deer notwithstanding. The layout of this particular apartment is a little weird though.
My husband and I visited the 12th St. apartment on Sunday, looked out the window, and 3 guys were skinning a deer in a neighboring backyard! Seriously. Number of windows is great/vistas awful (without the dead deer). Current occupants seem to have good taste– or is it DWR?. Some of the kitchen cabinets are vintage 1980-cheap, and it is much smaller than the listed 1600 sq feet. Tell the snotty agent it’s way over-priced.
west, interesting segway from a loft condo on 12th street to ragging on greenwood heights.
what’s your beef? – have you been banned from eagle provisions for being too much of a wiener?
3:13 –Just walked by there and they’re doing some work on the house. I can find out more if you’re really interested.
