Co-op of the Day: 45 7th Avenue
This two-bedroom floor-through co-op at 45 7th Avenue in Park Slope is a cutie for sure (though it’s for recessed lighting fans only!). While there’s no floorplan, we can only assume that one of the bedrooms is on the small size, as is typical in this kind of place. The living room has a nice…
This two-bedroom floor-through co-op at 45 7th Avenue in Park Slope is a cutie for sure (though it’s for recessed lighting fans only!). While there’s no floorplan, we can only assume that one of the bedrooms is on the small size, as is typical in this kind of place. The living room has a nice fireplace and built-ins; there’s no good photo of the smallish kitchen. The kicker: A private roof deck with killer views. All for the price of $699,000. Think that’ll fly?

Kids or not, a 4th floor walkup is a deal killer. We live on the 3rd floor with 2 little kids, and we’re reminded of the tradeoff every single day (more space at lower cost plus humping tired whining kids and groceries = a wash). One more flight would drive me over the edge.
I just hope I’ve got some cartilege left in my knees once the kids are in school full time…
Anyway, a 10 x 12 “deck” isn’t added value, to me. I just don’t like this place, and definitely not at this price.
Love the location (other than the street noise), but it’s not big enough for my fiancee and I. We both work from home at least part of the time, and that second “bedroom” is in no way big enough to function as an office for two. Hell, the real bedroom isn’t even large enough to fit all of our bedroom set. We’d have to put one of more of the pieces in the living room. Seems like it’d be a decent place for a couple who don’t have to work from home and don’t have kids, though. The living room’s a pretty decent size.
OK, I give up. Someone please help me with this. I’ll reserve final judgment until I consider all testimony, but someone please explain to me the appeal of recessed lighting. Especially in a landmarked or historic house. Please. Why do people install recessed lighting, and I’m honestly lookin’ for answers. I’m stumped.
Yes, we had lobby stroller parking in my old bldg too, but it can still be tiring shlepping up stairs with a couple of tired kids (baby/toddler/preschooler), groceries, etc. Yes, it’s a NYC way of life, but it also is a negative re: price (1st/2nd floor can be more attractive as a result – despite trade-offs re: sunshine, etc.) Anyway, I agree with those who say that just about everything is overpriced these days, and there will have to be across the board price cuts, as is already just starting to happen, but will accelerate.
Hey walk-up haters: in my building we leave strollers, etc. under the stairs on the entrance level.
I doubt they will get 575-600 for this.
Not for a long time.
bktycoon – agreed. Yay! bkln will be affordable again! although I guess no one will have a job then.
instead of further debate, isnt this place like almost every other small 2BR in good locations we see on this site in that its simply 15% overpriced. This will sell for 575-600k, no doubt
Can you store the kids in the basement storage? That would solve a lot of problems.
