Co-op of the Day: 62 Pierrepont Street
This ground-floor FSBO at 62 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn has a great prewar vibe to it. At about 900 square feet, it’s not huge but there are “2 1/2” bedrooms according to the listing and some substantial outdoor space to boot. Fans of original detail will no doubt dig the picture-frame moldings and cherry wainscoting….

Fans of original detail will no doubt dig the picture-frame moldings and cherry wainscoting. The maintenance is a reasonable $866 per month. And the price? $799,000. We bet this’ll go pretty darn close to ask. Do you agree?

There are many people who wouldn’t live in Park Slope, or in any other neighborhood in Brooklyn other than Brooklyn Heights–believe it or not people!!! I work with a few of them. They are Manhattanites who work on Wall Street, junior-level, and want to be one subway stop away. Also, their bosses live in Brooklyn Heights, so it’s about the status, etc., and being able to share this in common. So in that way, it is a different market.
“BH is overvalued.”
NYC is overvalued!
Brooklyn Heights is more expensive than Westport
Brooklyn Heights is more expensive than Franklin Lakes
Brooklyn Heights is more expensive than Garden City.
As someone who’s looking to buy, I APPRECIATE the comparisons to other similarly priced apartments in other neighborhoods. We are looking in PS, FG and BH and maybe CG so I welcome the discussion.
The people complaining about the PS talk clearly must have a vested interest in this apartment, because I see absolutely nothing wrong with the comparison. Since when are BH and PS totally different markets?? I’ve never heard of anything so silly.
Thank YOU for the link, 1:55!
I’ve been in this apt (friend of a friend of the owners) and just want to say that it really is nice, I loved the paneling in the dining room, which in my fantasy I would use as a library (living room could easily accomodate table). Kitchen nothing special but very workable, bathroom has nice old fashioned vibe, and the building is to die for (as is location if you like the Heights). Downside — I seem to remember that it faces the back, so no views and a little dark.
The Park Slope place is on the 2nd Floor, is only 10% down and is 250 square feet larger and $250 less in maint. a month.
Oh and one more bedroom.
I’d say the comparison is a good one.
I’d take the PS place anyday over this one.
“hello? Brooklyn Heights is more expensive than Park Slope”
Not sure why….”
It doesn’t matter. It just is. As 2:10 said, they’re two different markets.
