Does 35 Prospect Park West have more multi-million-dollar mega apartments than any other prewar building in Brooklyn? It sure feels like it. We’ve already covered a penthouse asking more than $6 million and a high-floor duplex asking $4,450,000. Now another mac-daddy duplex has come to market with a price tag of $4,950,000. This one has a tricked out new kitchen, four bedrooms, an exercise room and 3-zone air conditioning system. Pretty swanky.

  1. The projections are flying! I love speculative comments about “those types” of people. High net worth individuals. All staff and Hamptons and views vs. outdoor space etc. Almost as interesting as the projections about poor people – or the other “those people”.

    We’re not talking about a 20 million dollar pad on high 5th Avenue on the Manhattan Gold Coast here. We’re looking at a rather staid 5 million dollar place in Brooklyn’s Park Slope. With an outdated kitchen and a smallish living room with recessed lighting (gasp), a lovely dining room and no outdoor space. Unlikely to get it, but who knows.

    5 million will also get you a really nice three or four bedroom in Gramercy Park or Chelsea, but decidedly without jet-set-staff-toting-Winston-wearing-Hamptons-cred bragging rights. Not exactly the caricature being painted of the buyer who would never, EVER, I tell you, consider a kiddie pool in their garden, so that their kids could enjoy some splashing fun on a hot day, or for whom gardening is anathema.

  2. Not sure which point this supports, the “It’ll NEVER sell” crowd or the “There’s always a buyer for these places” crowd, but I noticed that the Penhouse is now in contract after being chopped to 5.75mil.

  3. I do think if you have a country house, a garden in the city isn’t that important for lots of people. I used to have both and got kind of out-gardened. Now I have neither and it’s very sad.

    Lots of people are more into views than outdoor space though, especially the type that can afford this apt.

  4. See that’s issue with most of these posters. They can’t think outside of their wallet.

    If that building had balconies it would be gross and unsightly like the crap going up now.
