Spring is here and the FSBO’ers are coming out to play. First up, this floor-through at 164 State Street in Brooklyn Heights. A one-bedroom plus den or small second bedroom, the 900-square-foot place has been recently renovated and carries a relatively small monthly maintenance of $695. The bathroom has been recently renovated as has the kitchen. Asking price: $639,000. Think it’ll sell? Decide for yourself at the open house on Saturday from 1 to 3.
164 State Street [FSBO] GMAP P*Shark
12:44, I’m glad I’m not the only person who noticed that. But I assumed (hoped) they took them down for the staging to showcase the view.
The place is not overpriced by much. New windows, kitchen and bath reno nicely done.
But the kitchen is small, the fridge blocks part of the window, and the sink is small.
No one mentioned it but the underlying mortgage is paid off which means that the $695 maint is relatively high (add at least $150/mo tax break not gained)
Lastly the baby room needs window guards (by law)!
9:56, are you going through a bitter divorce or something? you sound like you hate people.
talking to someone about it can help.
P.S. Property Shark is more often wrong than right!
I am not the owner of the apartment or a broker, but I live in the neighborhood.
I think it is a bargain and underpriced. There should be a bidding war for this apartment. The location is very good, but would be better if between Henry & Clinton. If I were considering purchasing a coop (something I would never ever do again), I’d seriously consider buying it.
I wish the owner all the luck in the world and hope he gets his asking if not more.
All the haters/renters should pipe down. You should have bought ten years ago when you had a chance. Instead you wasted your money on rent, handbags/watches, and silly vacations. Now, what do you have to show for it? No equity, no tax deduction, and living in a dung-hole with your rent constantly going up and up. Oh wait, you do have something, that taste of bile in your mouths and renter’s envy.
My suggestion, borrow some money from your parents (for something useful this time) and purchase this bargain before you get shut out of the market, again…
you are paying for the neighborhood. A young person with good knees will be happy here. some like tattoos and piercings, some like Prada and pearls. It’s a diverse city.
Hi Biff and everyone on this delightful thread. I am the owner of this apartment and in an effort to clear up any confusion, the only comment I posted was the 2:09 comment about the measurements.
The only way to know if this or any other apartment is worth the money is to come see it. Hope to see you on Saturday from 1-3pm! You too, Biff!
p.s. The apartment comps and appraises just fine.
5:20, let’s get real. It’s people like brokers and certain owners of featured homes that ruin these threads. Perhaps you are naive enough to believe every one of the positive comments in this thread is legit. Perhaps you’re the one posting them. But this is a very average apartment (albeit in a very good area). If you’ve spent any time on Brownstoner, you would know that there is no way in hell it would command anywhere near the praise it’s gotten here.
The only reason anyone is prefacing statements with “not the owner” is because the statements they are making are not believable. And I know for a fact that EVERYONE here appreciates and absolutely LOVES my comments!
5:20 = the owner
