Co-op of the Day: 1 Pierrepont Street
Co-op apartments don’t come much finer than this. This south-facing unit at 1 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights has four bedrooms, two fireplaces and killer Manhattan views from the common terrace. It looks to be in pristine condition (though we coulda used some photos of the kitchen and bathrooms) and on a fairly high floor….

The listing ain’t for the faint of pocket book however: The asking price is $3,450,000 and the monthly maintenance is $3,518. Anyone know what percentage down is required at this building?

1:59 – but no one was criticizing park slope – I simply said some people who would look in the heights would not consider park slope – which is really the only other neighborhood where you could find a gorgeous pre-war apt like this one. this reasonable observation provoked a very defensive reaction from a sloper – hence their terrible reputation online.
“I have a friend”
No, you don’t.
1:47, not sure what your point is. Park Slope is higher up on the “sought after” list because it has more inventory and cheaper prices than Brooklyn Heights. But it’s fact that people will pay more to live in BH than PS. Either way, who cares? This is a nice apartment and very desirable to certain rich people and I’m sure it will go at ask if not more.
That “view” everyone is so keen on is fabulous – but it is from the SHARED BUILDING TERRACE, not the apartment itself. Judging from the apartment photos and the South-Facing comment in the listing, the view from the apartment itself is of… other Brooklyn Heights apartment buildings!
I have a friend who is a broker in Park Slope and she says that sales have slowed down considerably and would not buy in Park Slope for another 3-4 years minimum. She says its time has passed, but it was fun while it lasted.
Biff,
Does your neighborhood bear the huge brunt of critique and show up on gawker weekly about the goings on of people who are really just trying to raise a family and turn the issue into an elitist rage race war against yuppies?
No.
Park Slope takes it for the team 99% of the time. I think they have a right to stand up for their neighborhood when so much ill will, hate and falsehoods are spewed about it constantly.
I like Park Slope and prefer houses to apartments. But, I’ll make an exception for a classic four bedroom with views of the harbor. It doesn’t get any better than that.
P.S. I lived in Brooklyn Heights fro 5 years. Have also lived in Park Slope, Carroll Gardens and Boerum Hill for extended periods. The Heights may be a little dull, but it’s a great neighborhood. Beautiful architcecture, safe, small town feel, good subway service.
I grew up in that building and the old folks comments are very fair but it really is a mix of old people and young families.
brooklyn heights has too many cheapass towers. Not so in PS. Something got screwed up with BH zoning some time back. Its a crying shame.
