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.

I rent very nearby (on a better block IMHO) in a very similar 1BR + Den/Office/Nursery. I pay $1600. I win. This is crazy expensive but if I could afford it, I would buy it. Great neighborhood.
Size matters
Sabotaging? Actually, it seems to me there are many more positive comments regarding the pricing of this place than is typical on this blog. It’s much more common for posters to state that a place is overpriced than to hear so many posts saying it’s a steal, a bargain, unusual ask, etc. In fact, I’m strongly suspecting the seller is commenting on this thread. Despite that, I live in the area and would love this place to sell at or above ask for my own sake, but just don’t see it happening.
(Typed this before seeing 2:09’s comment…I guess I was right)
Nid, but the rooms look small to me.
And that maintenance may be low for a place this size in a building with elevator, doorman, staff, managing agent, etc. But in a small walkup, that is not low.
I am the owner and Property Shark has it wrong…it’s 38ft deep. There will be a tape measure available at the open house on Saturday. Come measure!
Seems there is someone on this thread trying to sabatoge the owners.
Kinda sad.
Let people decide for themselves if they like the place.
Dorks.
not an obession for me.
seems others on here don’t care about sqaure footage either as much as you do.
in a co-op, one can use a percentage of common areas, hallways, etc in the sqaure footage measurements. did you know that??
yeah, i didn’t think so.
you are really bringing nothing to the table.
1:14, thanks for the link. I realize it’s a Richard Meier building, which has great appeal to many, but that’s one of the most insane prices I’ve ever seen. Imagine explaining to out of town guests and family, not that one could squeeze them into this studio apt, what you paid (unless the out of towners were from Tokyo or Central London). As for the State Street place, the price does seem a bit high to me as well, but not completely unrealistic.
