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 not trying to defend the apt…but I live in a very sim. apt. and my second bedroom is off the living room (we use it as an office).
The living room is still fairly large. It’s 21’x13′, if someone needs more space for a living room, their furniture is HUGE. I have two different seating groups in my living room of the same size.
The dining area in this apt. is 12’x9.5′..you can get a table for six in there.
The smaller bedroom is not small by NYC standards. The size is fine for a child, even a teenager or a home office. Ikea has great closets – PAX…I have three.
This apt. can be really sweet and the location is great…view of the park can’t be beat.
I know a lot of people in the building may use this layout as a 2-bedroom, but it’s really not. It’s just a small room off the living room – there are french doors separating the rooms. Small room, no closet, little privacy. Despite that, it is a nice apartment with lots of storage and could be used as a 2 bedroom for someone with a baby or small child.
oops, never mind. i see the mnt on their site. nice location
All those colors hurt my eyes.
Their price seems reasonable, though. (I’ve never been in the mkt for a 2BR.)
the second bedroom is tiny and has no closet. It looks like a very nice layout for a one-bedroom though.
And the location is super. Location matters again.
Eh. they chopped up the living room area and made what was supposed to be a dining room into a bedroom…you folks are always ripping apart that “second bedroom” so knock yourselves out here. I have no problem with this, the kitchen or the bathroom. I just don’t like that they chopped up the living room. and what’s the mnt?
This is like the size of my apt and my apt. is not nearly worth this, but, I’m in Bay Ridge.
I like all the closets, and the 4-fixture bathroom, but not the bathroom itself, tiles, sink, tub, etc.. I don’t like the kitchen either….but, hey, the apt is in MIC.
This will sell and fast at this price.
To be clear, location is very key here. If this weren’t on the park and close to the subway at GAP, I think this would be on the high side for a unit with only one bath that doesn’t appear to have laundry in-unit. But this location is just great.
If this were on one of the good non-park blocks in PS (say, some street between Berkeley and 3rd, somewhere between 6th Ave and 8th Ave) I would say lower the price.
This will move so much faster than an overpriced realtor listing (which, let’s face it, pretty much all realtor listings are these days).
Yes, I think they will get their price. And this is a bear speaking. If I were in the market for a 2-bed instead of a 3-bed there is no question that I would look at this pretty seriously.
