Condo of the Day: 34 Park Place
Whether to own half a house in a more upscale neighborhood or a full house in a less gentrified area, that is the question. It’s a question we’ve discussed before, but it’s made all the more relevant by this new listing at 34 Park Place which is asking $1,350,000. This particular apartment combines the parlor…

Whether to own half a house in a more upscale neighborhood or a full house in a less gentrified area, that is the question. It’s a question we’ve discussed before, but it’s made all the more relevant by this new listing at 34 Park Place which is asking $1,350,000. This particular apartment combines the parlor and ground floors along with the garden and cellar. Historic details are nicely intact and there’s a recently renovated good-sized kitchen. According to PropertyShark, this is a standard Italianate brownstone with standard 20-by-45-foot dimensions. Given that a full house like this would sell for close to double the asking price on this unit, it looks pretty reasonably priced to us, at least on a relative basis. Agree?

No one coming into the Elliman office today??
Not to be an ass, but wouldn’t you say the student make-up of 282 and 321 are a wee bit different? Why is that?
4 stars outta 5 ain’t bad.

well said, Sam.
Also, PS 282 has terrible reviews indeed… but this is possibly not too much of an issue for a 2 bedroom apt.
PS 282 has gotten awful reviews from parents who send their kids there. Apparently, the principal is not motivated to improve the school.
That’s absurd, 2:36.
You can live in Park Slope in a 250K studio or a 3.5 million dollar townhouse and everything in between.
Some people like PS very much and will sacrifice on a little space to live in an area they enjoy.
Personally I’d rather live in a 700 sf place in PS than a 3000 sf house in Bed Stuy.
But that’s just me. I live in New York so that I can walk around to shops, restaurants, all my services, etc. It’s what makes this such a great place to live for me.
To each his/her own.
This has been on the market for over a month. It’s really a 1BR, 1 1/2 bath. You’d have to convert an open ground floor study into a BR. Also, the 1/2 bath is essentially in the kitchen (w/ no vent). Kind of a cramped layout.
would not convert basement into anything. was long time slope owner and know from my experience and others in the hood, that sewer back-up/flooding real problem.
do drains, sump pumps, whatever to keep dry. then, put laundry and lots of shelves for storage. keep everything in a rubber bin.
better off extending into backyard….
if you really do want to convert one of these basements into living space, get someone who understands how to handle the city sewer back ups.
