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?

i still like the ps place much better.
and btw, 2:49, this place doesn’t have a terrace, so why should the comp in ps have one?
this has a common garden. big deal.
Hmmm. Just checked out the Park Slope Corcoran listing everyone is so excited about. If you look at the photo of the building exterior, on Property Shark, you’ll notice that it’s a dumpy, tenement-style building. While the listing notes it’s 2-flights up, the apartment is on the 3rd floor, so the broker is most likely undercounting the stairs, or counting it from after the first landing, as I’ve seen done many times. Also, Union Street is busy and noisy and not really comparable to Pierrepont.
The point I was making in my earlier posting is that sometimes folks act as if an apartment in an elevator apartment building is comparable to one in a four-unit walk-up building.
Now If you can find a similar apartment in Park Slope, in an elevator building, with 2 baths, or with a beautiful terrace, then we’re talking comps and real competition that would make the extra stops on the subway every morning and evening possibly worth it.
But don’t ask me to live in a dinky walk-up with no services if I’m lookng at larger elevator buildings.
2:37- that’s actually how it went, but it goes a little different nowadays.
I am looking for a house, and after seeing many houses in many neighborhoods over the past year, I’ve decided that I want Park Slope and will only buy in Park Slope. My brother and sister-in-law, on the other hand are in love with Brooklyn Heights and have no desire or interest to look anywhere else. It’s very common, 2:39. Really.
I know very few people who limit their search to only one neighborhood.
No one, actually.
Whenever the topic of Brooklyn Heights comes up, people say that it’s the ONLY neighborhood where they would consider living in Brooklyn.
Now that Wall Street has become a dirty word, they don’t live there anymore. Is that how it goes, 2:34?
