Co-op of the Day: 61 Pierrepont Street, #43
Three bedrooms in a prewar building in The Heights for $800,000? Sounds like a good dealat least on the surface. Unfortunately, the surface is as far as this listing at 61 Pierrepont Street lets you go. There’s not a single interior photo of this sponsor unit.

Three bedrooms in a prewar building in The Heights for $800,000? Sounds like a good dealat least on the surface. Unfortunately, the surface is as far as this listing at 61 Pierrepont Street lets you go. There’s not a single interior photo of this sponsor unit. The lack of disclosure combined with the fact that the unit just received a $65,000 price cut after three weeks on the market doesn’t inspire confidence in the state of the apartment. (Plus, sponsors aren’t known for the quality of the renovations in general.) Anyone seen it who can shed a little light?

at least 5th avenue has shops and restaurants.
montague is the sorriest excuse of a shopping/eating area i’ve seen.
ditmas park has nicer restaurants.
who’s the ahole that thinks the only fun stuff is in manhattan? did you just crawl out of a hole?? brooklyn is where the younger/hipper crowd hangs out these days…union hall, southpaw, southslope, greenpoint, smith street, etc.
manhattan is nothing but 16 year old jersey whores and red lobsters.
And? This place wouldn’t cost 1.7 million, even with the gut reno. And between 4th and 5th aren’t as nice blocks as this.
Get a clue, 3:56.
It’s the insecure Park Slope haters that brought it up first.
Are you that blind??
“i’m young and rich and hate park slope”
My god. Talk about boring!!!
The building must have an extremely large underlying mortgage for the maintenance to be this high without doormen. Doormen are important. Actually, they make all the difference in terms of deliveries and security. It’s so nice to come home late and have your friendly doorman greet you and give you your packages or messages. For this level of maintenance I want to see more services.
The ask price is good though for the Heights.
Why didn’t you just walk to work if the subway ride is too short?
Park slope people will complain about ANYTHING, huh.
This is nice, but you can get a crappy house btw 4th and 5th ave for 1.7 million!!
why do the park slopers have to crash every damn thread?
omg! we’re not talking about you here, for once, okay?
Thanks, Mr. Hancock, didn’t know that.
So you do pay heavily for not having to get board approval.

well when commuting comparisons are made using midtown as an example, it’s fair to look at another option.
Lots of people in BH work downtown. Commute to work is often a big factor in choosing a neighborhood (since many of us work for a living)
BH has a superior commute to every part of manhattan, is more visually appealing, and a closer cab ride from real nightlife in manhattan.
And the selling prices reflect that. PS is lovely, but it’s not on the same playing field as BH.
