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?

I have noticed.
So far the small spaces in Park Slope are doing wonders fending off the big chains.
Oh and even the designers of Central Park thought that Prospect Park was their finest work of the two.
Upper West Side is great…don’t get me wrong, but it’s not much different than Jersey.
5:02 here–Psshaw! All the amenities I mentioned are permanent fixtures, they’re not going ANYWHERE. I’ll “suffer” through the eyesores that are the retail chains on my way to Central Park or the Hudson. This retail chain phenomenon is eating up all of NYC, including Brooklyn, in case you haven’t noticed.
You’re right, I’d much rather be closer to 2 Gaps, Banana Republic, 12 Starbucks, a new TJmax, Bed Bath and Beyond, 16 Chase Branches and a Talbots than in Park Slope. Exactly why I moved to NYC.
There was a couple articles today about the demise of retail on the Upper West Side.

Personally, I’ll take 500 sq. ft less and higher ceilings to be in a monumental building on Broadway in one of the best neighborhoods in NYC–my neighbors would be Fairway, Zabar’s, the best subway line in NYC (1-2-3), the Hudson River, Central Park, the Beacon Theater, Lincoln Center. Oh and did I mention it’s on Broadway? Regardless, I DID note that it was already sold, but thanks. Not trying to ignite another Bklyn v. Manhattan bitchfest!
ok, 4:12…where to begin…
1. The apartment has been sold and closed.
2. It was 100K more and 500 square feet SMALLER than this one.
3. If you bought it, you got screwed.
The difference between 1100 square feet and 700 square feet is more than slightly smaller, in my opinion.
For 100K more I’d prefer a slightly smaller apartment at the REAL Ansonia! (see Apt 9-43, recently sold)

The website that I use is ahbrooklyn.com, that is where all the quality listings are. I think it’s funny that the really bad website puts the listings on their site that they can’t sell, it’s pretty cheesy but then again they don’t have much.
Re: Aguayo & Huebener: the reason they have 2 websites is because they are in the midst of a schizm between the 5th and 7th Ave offices. They’re fighting it out in court, but meantime the offices function separately, have separate listings, and can’t show each others’ listings. Eventually they will have separate names, and, presumably, websites.
The platform is 2-3 feet high, no you definitely cannot stand up under it, but it can be used for storage. Draw a box and partition off 1/4 of it, that’s about the size of the platform.
The photo of the living room shows the height of the partial wall that closes off the bedroom. The bedroom space is more like a nook for the bed with a closet and a small office area. I think this apartment is best for one person or a couple not looking to grow. It doesn’t offer much privacy between spaces.
