Co-op of the Day: 430 Clinton Street
This 25-foot-wide floor-through co-op at 430 Clinton Street has three bedrooms and some nice old details to recommend it. (It’s also been stripped of original details in some places.) We’re not wild about the kitchen or the cheap-looking bi-fold closet doors either, but those are easily changed. The maintenance is pretty low too: $774 a…
This 25-foot-wide floor-through co-op at 430 Clinton Street has three bedrooms and some nice old details to recommend it. (It’s also been stripped of original details in some places.) We’re not wild about the kitchen or the cheap-looking bi-fold closet doors either, but those are easily changed. The maintenance is pretty low too: $774 a month. The asking price of $1,450,000 seems a little nutso though. After all, no square footage is provided in the listing, but it’s hard to see how this is more than 1,200 square feet, and could be as small as 1,000 square feet. Nice building and nice location and all, but come on. There’s mention of an open house on the listing but no time specified.

I saw the apartment. It was nice. It is a real 3 br plus a dining room area. Two bedrooms can fit queen-sized beds and the 3rd is a real bedroom and not an office or walk-in closet.
2 baths and general good condition in the apartment. Nothing NEEDED to be replaced when you move in. The kitchen was not my taste but was fine.
The building is really nice. I really liked the exterior of the building. The interior of the building was pretty nice too. 1400 sf definitely seems to be wishful thinking. 1000-1200 sf depending on how you fudge the math.
But, $1.4m is probably too much to ask. I would think $999k-$1.1m seems more likely.
Add it up. It’s much closer to 1100sf. Even if it were 1400sf, the price is still over the top. Chop off several hundred thousand.
Love the 3-D floorplan. Seriously. It does appear to be about 1,400 square foot. If it’s nicely turned out, the price doesn’t seem outrageous. If the schools are good and the co-op finances are stable, it could go for within 10% of ask. I personally prefer the area on the other side of Smith.
What hike? It’s two and half blocks from the subway! (In Carroll Gardens, as mentioned, so the tag shouldn’t be Cobble Hill.)
i’m beginning to think it was better when the server was rejecting most posts.
like my own, yes i know.
4th and 5th ave may be considered park slope _ yes on the map – but if you look at the people who live in north park slope – it’s very different.
4th and 5th aves are more diverse and flavorful which probably sides with your statistic.
i prefer 5th ave over the north – although the north is a prettier area – but i don’t agree with the diversity – everyone here seems very much the same… sorry for going against you.
this is just an opinion.
5:27 – thanks for moving the thread back to the apartment. I’ve seen the apartment too. High ceilings, good amount of space but it is a bit bland. Having 2 bathrooms is great but right next to each other is not optimal. Guess that’s where the pipes are. Its also a hike to the subway. If this place fetches a $1000 a sq ft, I’m selling my place and moving back to Manhattan. Means there’s little value left in moving to Bklyn.
4th and 5th avenues are both in park slope, 5:16. Now you are going to pit the east and west sides of park slope like berlin?
asinine.
yes, park slope is extremely diverse. look it up on property shark if you don’t believe me. less than half the population considers themselves “caucasian.” given that 70% of the u.s. population is such, i’d say that is quite diverse.
90% black does not a diverse neighborhood make, contrary to popular belief.
I went to the open house this weekend. The apartment really is beautiful– nice sized bedrooms, very high ceilings, great light, needs a kitchen re-do, but a lovely apartment. Not sure if it will get the asking price (way over my budget so just visiting out of curiosity sake) but definitely an apartment to aspire to!
