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.

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?

This is a hot loft and a fabu location. Good for the broker for sending it in…I would do the same if I had such a cool listing.
The $1.1M house on 14th St is no longer on the Corcoran website (or, as far as I can tell, in the broker’s “in contract” listings) — looks like it was pulled off the market.
It’s not that the F train is slow…it just never arrives.
Also, I think Brownstoner is going to need a new spam filter to get rid of all the broker emails that will now come in with all caps.
Jeez, you people drink sour milk for breakfast? I have been in this apartment and it is really lovely. Filled with sunlight, incredibly comfortable and the kind of loft you’d pay at least double for in downtown Manhattan. As for the person who says you can get a whole house for the same or less a few blocks away, I invite you to look at the Corcoran listing around the corner from me on 14th St. between 5th & 6th Ave. that is 12 Ft (!) wide and currently on the market for 1.1 million. Maybe in Greenwood Heights you might find something but in case you haven’t been around here lately, 7th Ave. here is just exploding with restaurants and boutiques. I grant you that Greenwood Heights does have the Time Warner cable office, which is incredible convenient when you need to drop off your cable box. Outiside of that, well it’s like a little slice of Cleveland over there.
It seems like a nice enough space but it boggles my mind why anyone would buy an apt when they can buy an entire house a few blocks south for the same or less. I just dont understand apartment dwellers I suppose.
Total fraud — the space is at most about 1380 square feet.
don’t buy anything this broker is involved in – i have seen this sort of thing in some of her other properties.
I think that before you post soemthing like this, you should look at the floorplan so you are not perpetuating lies! This is a poorly designed 1200 sqft space.
There is a subway entrance to the 7th Avenue F train at 7th Avenue and 10th Street. Access to public transit is not a problem if you can survive the slowness of the F train.
lets not mention the bad access to public transportation.
i’ve been looking for a warehouse or loft space but this isn’t it.
still searching for a warehouse to call my own, dunno where yet.
