Co-op of the Day: 1 Pierrepont Street
Yowza! It’s a tough time to hit the market with a $6,250,000 price tag, to be sure, but this is about as blue-chip as they come. The four-bedroom apartment has beaucoup prewar details, views of lower Manhattan and one of the best addresses in Brooklyn; it also has a monthly maintenance of $5,072. One thing…

One thing we can’t figure out: Why another four-bedroom in the same building was listed for $3,450,000 last spring (and ended up selling for $3,400,000). Anyone know what explains the huge difference in price?

ditto..here in the U.S. parquet flooring typically refers to small blocks of flooring, usually 6″ X 6″ that are made up of 6 or so 1″ strips. They are laid down like tile even using a mastic. All this as opposed to “real” wood flooring consisting of 3″ wide and 3/4″ thick strip hardwood…laid in any pattern including herringbone.
Typically, a parquet floor has one life to it and is not thick enough to be resanded. That said, most brownstone floors are of this thickness as well and only have one or two lives.
That’s just the US conventional definition.. The UK and Continental Europe do have a different definition.
DIBS is out fixing his verandah which he insists on calling a porch.
now if it was a whole floorboard in herringbone pattern, that would be interesting. you’d need a pretty big room though.
Okay, just looked up Parquet flooring on Wikipedia

DIBS, do we bow down to Ditto now or wait till we’re on a herringbone parquet floor.
I’ve never heard a herringbone floor referred to as parquet….my bad.
Now what was the issue with the parquet floor??
Ditto – we can go back and forth about parquet and planks.
But I will disagree and say:
Herringbone pattern floors use plank boards.
Here are some examples of parquet flooring…again 1st link I could find.

DIBS:
There ARE people who spend this coin for a place to live and go to Costco.
Dave – where did you get the idea that 3″ strips means its not parquet? Perhaps thats a U.S. thing.
IT IS NOT PARQUET. It is a herringbone pattern but those are full width 3″ strips of flooring.
