Co-op of the Day: 210 Congress Street
The 114-unit co-op at 210 Congress Street in Cobble Hill is pretty unremarkable as far as prewar buildings go, but it’s perfectly nice and in a lovely location. The scale of the windows and ceilings are a little blah, but we’re liking the layout of this two-bedroom. The asking price of $750,000, however, is definitely…

The scale of the windows and ceilings are a little blah, but we’re liking the layout of this two-bedroom. The asking price of $750,000, however, is definitely on the high side for the building. After all, only one apartment in the building has every sold for more than this amount. Think this one has a shot?

1:52 PM – I think building built right after the war still had the better finishing -the bigger closets. the plaster walls – not like the junk they build today. Most of the new building look like they got whupped with the ugly stick – why don’t developers hire architects with a little taste. This is a site for people who like old homes, not rich people (there is a difference, in 1980, when I moved here rich people weren’t too much in evidence- but we were all folks who appreciated old houses.) Why not find a web site more to your liking – I’m sure there must be something out there.
it’s not pre-war.

I agree with you, but don’t blame Brownstoner. He’s just running a business here, and this site caters to the rich. They are always conservative, in that they want to preserve the status quo no matter what the cost to future generations. While it is hypocritical, it is not particularly unusual.
I think that what is unusual however is the moral superiority of it all…
I walk by this building often and for a long time I thought it was a nursing home. Have seen some young mothers with babies recently though, so maybe the place is turning around.
It’s still hideous, though, and without a second bedroom I can’t see it going for anything over $690,000 or so. It’s just overpriced compared to what you can find in comparable buildings in PS 29.
i would pay this for a studio in park slope.
but not here.
“damn fat hornball”??? Who you calling fat??
i would pay this for a 2 bedroom in park slope.
but not here.
there are many people who would consider this a better location than “near P Park”.
there isn’t all that much on the market in PS29 at this price.
biff- take your ass to jenny’s “craig” list already. damn fat hornball!
