Co-op of the Day: 40 Prospect Park West, #6K
The weaker market has not deterred some owners from trying to sell their apartments themselves. In the case of Apartment 6K at 40 Prospect Park West in Park Slope, the sellers appear to be taking the strategy of pricing the unit fairly upfront rather than going fishing for an unrealistic offer.

The weaker market has not deterred some owners from trying to sell their apartments themselves. In the case of Apartment 6K at 40 Prospect Park West in Park Slope, the sellers appear to be taking the strategy of pricing the unit fairly upfront rather than going fishing for an unrealistic offer. While the two-bedroom, one-bathroom pad isn’t going to wind up on the pages of Architectural Digest any time soon, it does offer 1,000 square feet of space and great views of the park for $769,000. Think they’ll get their price?

I’m glad the post was well received. I just wish it weren’t so riddled with bad spelling and grammar (lesson of the day: never type when angry and in a hurry).
Oops, sorry for the double posting.
denton, another nice post, although I’m chuckling at your unfortunate references to getting “dumped on” given the subject matter.
lechal, I’m so glad you posted that, because I was about to do the same. I grew up in a six story walkup in West Harlem on the sixth floor and one bathroom that was shared with two adults and three children. No AC either. You haven’t been hot until you’ve tried to sleep on the top floor in the early 1960s heat wave that had temps over 100deg at times.
And in the same way, I see it as a measure of my success that I have always had AC and especially 1.5 baths or more. Hell, I got dumped on when stating that a nice 1BR apt for purchase (not a RS rental) should come with 1.5 baths.
I’m gonna get dumped on worse later when I update my reno blog and everyone sees the size of our new master bath!
lechacal, that has to be the quote/post of the day!! BRAVO!
sam, very good points too. Some ideas of how to split this into 1.5 baths or finagle with a W/D are nice on paper, but the reality is that one is typically extremely limited in both what it feasible and what is allowed concerning their plumbing in an apartment, especially in co-op buildings.

nice apartment, priced right for a change.
lechacal I have a newfound respect for your arse.
Thanks wasder. I usually show contempt for the use of all caps, but this one touched a nerve. I’m definitely not of yuppie blood and I feel very entitled to the creature comforts I have earned.
Lechacal! Damn, throw down the law. I am with you here. Some people can make do (doo?) with one bathroom but others can’t and you should definitely get what you want when you buy a house/apt. Nice use of caps for the takedown. It is really annoying when other people impose their standards on others with a broad brush and you were right to call them out.
