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. While the two-bedroom, one-bathroom…
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?

that’s a darn good price. low maint., too.
Unless I’m missing something, this is the first unqualified thumbs up in about 3 years for me.
That second br. is just fine for 1 child. As for having only 1 bathroom, we live in a 3br/1 bath (2 kids, 2 adults), and no one’s killed anyone yet.
This is a special apartment (layout, location, fair maintenance). It needs no broker (just a lawyer). It sells itself. Nice ask. They’ll get close to their price.
bayridgegirl, by the way, I’m laughing over the fact you had a clown doing at your hubby’s birthday. It’s nice that he’s still a big kid at heart.
I agree with Biff. The apartment is swell but the single bathroom limits its fabulousness.
Of course one does not NEED two bathrooms, but it is sooo nice to have that extra one, either for guests, or when you and your partner both eat the same tainted sushi.
bayridgegirl, thanks for the visual. 🙂
But a party is much different than living with people full-time (I don’t know about you, but I try not to make it a habit to crap when I’m at a party – ok, TMI). And I’m sure your guests weren’t using your bathroom to get ready to go out, bathing their kids, showering, having baths, etc.
It’s not a problem usually with two people, but I think if you and your hubby had two kids in your place, or a teenager, I bet you would be dying for a second bathroom.
Not my style, and that second BR is tiny. But its zoned for PS 321 and right on the park; this place will sell and sell quickly.
For a young family, this apt. is great.
One bathroom is not going to be an issue.
Biff, we had 48 people over once for hubby’s birthday..and a clown…and nobody was waiting on line to use the bathroom. Everybody doesn’t crap at the same time.
Seems to be a very nice apartment and reasonably priced. Definitely perfect for a single person or couple; can still be fine with a baby/young child, but anything more will make this seem cramped, especially given the one bathroom. That’s difficult, even with more than one person. And when friends visit, very tough. (where’s I_haz_TWO_toilets when I need her?). Regardless, I do think this is a wonderful home and will move quickly.
Anyone with a youngish kid could happily live in that as a 2 bedroom. Hard to argue with the value of this apt.
