This four-unit eight-unit condo conversion at 707 Carroll Street in Park Slope hit the market back in February and underwent a price reduction in April. Four of the eight units are currently available at prices ranging from $595,000 to $695,000. The developer certainly gets points for keeping the original woodwork in place; he gives them right back, though, for designing cheesy kitchens. Anyone looked at these?

went to open house couple of months ago and the broker told us that there are 8 units in the building, 4 are available for sale and 4 have RENT STABILZED tenants!!!
it’s only 10 steps per flr? thought it was more
> northsloperenter – Hilarious. And so, so true.
Ditto what lechacal said.
“As for lugging groceries, kids, etc., you do multiple trips. Problem solved!”
Your definition of “problem solved!” does not equal my definition of “problem solved!”. This may be because I’m a lazy schmuck who gets cranky living on 4 hours of sleep. I won’t argue that point.
But…
30 steps up to the apartment. Drop off some stuff. Throw kid in crib. Kid screams from being left alone.
30 steps back down to get more stuff. (note to self: do not lock self out of apartment)
30 steps back up. Spend 15 seconds trying to convince kid you are not leaving him to be eaten by wolves.
30 steps back down to get more stuff. (note to self: do not lock self out of apartment)
30 steps back up.
150 steps traversed and a screaming mad child does not equal “problem solved!” when it needs to happen 2 or 3 times a week.
bring back those dumb waiters. to use the dumb waiter area for storage is a big big waste
One last plug for walk-ups: in a co-op or condo, you usually get to park the stroller under the ground floor stairs. As for lugging groceries, kids, etc., you do multiple trips. Problem solved!
I wouldn’t trade my top floor light, quiet, air & roof-deck for anything [except, maybe, a nice backyard]!
how about buy one, get one free?
dont complain, take advantage. Am sure he knows his mistakes by now and so does his bank – ie prime time for massive low ball offer. buy 2 units if you can squeeze 40% off
So they took 4 nice apartments and turned them into 8 cracker box tenements. Another redeveloper who should go bankrupt.
