Co-op of the Day: 15 Clark Street, #2C
We suspect that this Classic 6 at 15 Clark Street is one of those apartments that would have benefited from a little spruce up and staging prior to listing. It’s got a nice family-sized layout, but the combination of the 2nd floor location (read: lack of light) and rather dreary interior decoration makes the asking…

It’s got a nice family-sized layout, but the combination of the 2nd floor location (read: lack of light) and rather dreary interior decoration makes the asking price of $1,699,000 a little hard to take. We know, we know, it’s the Heights and this is about what you’d expect a 1,675-square-foot pad to go for but still. Anyway, what do you think this’ll end up going for?

The new no-guest format has reduced the number of postings enormously but as 5:16 attests, the comments are still as utterly clueless as ever.
1.1 tops.
I was going to say the same thing, SnarkSlope. The pictures are awful, everything is shown to its worst effect. The place looks claustrophobic and narrow but it’s over 1600 square feet. I have never understood brokers who post awful pics for multimillion dollar houses.
Dear Mr. Brokerman: Please hire a photographer, a copywriter and a web designer.
People are getting carried away by the decor, it’s the apartment that matters. I love to walk into a great apartment like this that looks awful because I know I can get a better price than one with “eyewash” appeal. renovating baths and kitchens and knocking down a partition is not a scary thing.
Also, if you want affordable digs, the Heights is not the best place to start looking.
price is about right if it were nice and move-in ready. but it’s not, and i figure upgrades/repairs would cost around $150k. so i would say $1.5M is a good price.
That’s a lot of space, no matter how you cut it up or reconfigure it. I don’t recall seeing many co-ops that size in BH (or even the UWS for that matter).
I don’t think 1.5m is unreasonable, given that the next step up in the neighborhood is a house, which would be double that if not more.
Put it this way: If you work in lower manhattan, you’d be hard pressed to find more space for less money this close by.
smatchums – agreed. I think the apt as-is is hideous and overpriced. Just saying it needs more than simple upgrades and to be really nice would need one less bedroom, or at least a much smaller one.
qkw,
Anything can be renovated to be more practical and look better, but why pay so much money for something that needs a substantial amount of work done.
Is it just me or is there anyone else out there that feels my pain?
