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
I wouldn’t trust Aguayo & Huebner to sell me a piece of gum. We’ve dealt with their 7th Avenue office before and they specialize in the ultra-overhype talking up of properties while glossing over the glaring problems. I realize that brokers aren’t a well-loved lot, but we’ve since dealt with much more honest and capable brokers at other firms.
11:38, You’re considering a bid?
Really….??
But you’ve decided to announce it to the entire Brooklyn Real Estate Community?
How interesting.
You are either the worst liar in the world or the dumbest person in the world.
Which is it?
YIKES!! the closets are 300sf!!!?????
That leaves only 800 of living space!!!
WAAAAAY OVERPRICED THEN!
^ did interns write that?
I have been in this apartment and let me advise, it is beautiful. So much nicer than all those new slapped together developments going up at speeds faster than lightening. The apartment is 1100 sq ft, perfect for a couple with a little one on the way. There is the most perfect infants room next door to the bedroom, perfect room for the crib. 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, and a dining and living room areas. My husband and I were in complete awe of the storage in this apartment, how many of you can say you have a large walk in closet in your bedroom and at least 3 other closets & a storage space that is close to 300 sq. feet. We are considering a bid, it really is comparibly priced, we’ve seen a lot out there.
the ansonia apartments are well laid out and nice, but notoriously loud as walls are very thin.
don’t see too many of us reading the upper west side blog, buddy.
you love your hood so much, why you reading and commenting so much about brooklyn real estate?
yeah…wanted to cause trouble.
thought so.
Yo, 5:02, you say you’re “Not trying to ignite another Bklyn v. Manhattan bitchfest,” but I don’t believe you. And the rest of you, shame on you for taking the bait. And my parents told me that my psych’ degree was worthless….
That’s a Brooklyn thang, right? To compare Manhattan, especially the most beautiful neighborhoods, to Jersey or Westchester? I’ve noticed that a lot on this board; it’s so strange. I guess a shrink would clinically diagnose that as an “inferiority complex”?
As I said, I wasn’t looking for a throw down, just some objectivity. You know, it’s OK to think, and even speak or write, positive things about neighborhoods and even boroughs (gasp!) other than your own. Brooklyn won’t feel betrayed, really, it’s ok. You don’t have to be so fundamentalist or defensive. Brooklyn has many beautiful areas as does Manhattan, and even NJ… they all have their merits, pros, and cons. Peace.
