Condo of the Day: Ansonia Loft
This 1,100-square-foot loft at 423 12th Street (aka The Ansonia) in Park Slope has been on the market for a while but only came to our attention yesterday. We like the openness and beamed ceilings of the main living space; we could really use a floor plan, though, as it’s hard to figure out how…
This 1,100-square-foot loft at 423 12th Street (aka The Ansonia) in Park Slope has been on the market for a while but only came to our attention yesterday. We like the openness and beamed ceilings of the main living space; we could really use a floor plan, though, as it’s hard to figure out how the sleeping and work areas fit into the overall scheme. It would also be nice if the broker would disclose the common charges. That said, for the right person who wants a live-work space in this area, we could see this working. How does the asking price of $749,000 strike you?
423 12th Street [Aguayo & Huebener] GMAP P*Shark
This place is still for sale, now for $649K. And FYI, the reason they did not post a floor plan originally is that the place is really no more than 900sf and that becomes obvious if you actually look at the plan. Still a nice place though
P.S. Just noticed that the price has been dropped to $729K.
One other comment on the comp of Pearl District in Portland– what planet are you on????? In Portland the veiw would be phenominal, flooring would be bamboo or brazillian cherry (not dinky pine) and the windows would be floor to ceiling with a deck– private, not communal!!! Just saw several in this price range!!
I owned & lived in this building for over 10 years. Here are my comments
1. yes, if a 2nd bedroom is created by installing 2 walls, the remaining living/dining/?working? space is pretty small.
2. No one is considering the worth of paying $749K to join a business and lease this space. THAT IS WHAT A COOP IS!!!
3. Aguayo & Huebner were pretty shady and supposedly still are. They even showed my apt after I fired them (ended the contract I had with them for a slimy move)
Wow, a bonafide idiot? Lies? Hate? Please reread my posting carefully. Then tell me why the 2nd room isn’t shown in any photos? Because it isn’t really a 2nd room? Can’t get a camera in there? I am not dissing the apartment, it is a great space for a couple, or a single. But it is a loft space. Some lofts are easily converted to 2BRs. Some in this building are in fact great 2 BRs. However it is my humble opinion that tacking on a 2nd room to this configuration would not be easy. Show me the floorplan and show me where you could put the other room. Please do. Your first statement also belies how irrational your thinking is. I can’t even comment on it. You wouldn’t happen to be the owner of the apartment? If so, I will gladly knock on your door tomorrow and introduce myself. As for my comment about truth in advertising, brokers and owners would do themselves and everyone else a huge favor by describing the place accurately. Needless to say, this place would have sold months ago.
to guest:12:44pm – you obviously do not live in the building, if you did you wouldn’t be dissing an apartment in it…and obviously you are blind because if you don’t think that 1100 sq feet could handle building another room in it, you need interiors 101. (most new shareholders have done just that) you sound like a total moron, i am sure you are. people like you should stay off blogs that are suppose to be helpful. and really who cares what you think of brokers?????????????? and by the way the bedroom is open to 3 huge windows and very very bright, are you a bonafide idiot?????? and if you really lived in this building you would know that the couple that lived here had a baby in the 2nd room and it was a fantastic living arrangement having the little one right next door, as opposed to so many apartments where the parents have to have the little one in their room. so really keep your lies and hate to yourself. such a shame that people like you exist.
I live in this building and saw this apt. It is 443 12th St. First of all, it was originally listed as a 2BR. I hate when brokers mislead you with details like that. Now it’s listed as a possible 2 BR. If you could squeeze another room in this place it would kill the open space. There’s just no way. The little space off of the “bedroom” is just an alcove. Yes you could fit a crib in the alcove space, but it would be just like having it in your bedroom, only separated by a wall. Also, the bedroom doesn’t have any windows, with fairly high ceilings, so it’s dark and enclosed. Technically it’s not even a 1BR, though the space is large enough for a couple easily. It’s very nicely decorated and bright in the main living area. Nice wood floors. Elevator building.
“the best subway line in NYC (1-2-3)”
Now THAT’s funny.
Excellent point about the closet, 10:57
The 11:38 comment is the most transparent and silliest broker/seller post I think I’ve ever read:
“the most perfect infant’s room”?
“And seriously the downstairs is huge, just what a loft should boast, the perfect amount of space dedicated to the kitchen, which by the way shows off all new stainless appliances”(ha ha, my favorite)
“my husband and I were in complete awe”
The choice of words says it all. Lame, lame, lame. At least get your assistants to try to do a better job.
