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?

my first apartment was off of newkirk avenue in ditmas park in a huge run down building. my bedroom was the maids q2uarters with my own bath… looking across a courtyard from my room, i could see my roomates bedroom. the place had living room, breakfast room, dining room and huge kitchen,
i paid 450, my roomate paid 500… and this was 2003..
ringo – I like parquet, except when it reminds me of my old school assembly hall.
” i guess today it would be the perfect room for a bulimic with not a lot of stuff.”
HA! x55! Thanks man. I have not laughed that hard in quite a while 🙂
Yowza. Love the pantry and maid’s room and all that stuff. It was built this way for a reason — to feel like a house in the sky.
But this listing begs a question for me. Over the last couple of years I’ve done a maybe once-monthly peek at listings for 3BR apartments in Brooklyn Heights. It’s my fantasy land review. Generally, you find 2, maybe 3 (excluding all the DUMBO listings). Lately, you find as many as a dozen.
I’m totally guessing, but I’m starting to wonder if we’re seeing direct financial market effects. 3BR apartments are family homes. You don’t buy and sell ’em like nuts, you live in them, probably for many, many years. Are families cashing out to move away? Is this a canary in a coal mine?
NB: No, I do not think that Brooklyn Heights 3BRs are doomed to sell at 1955 prices. I’m just sayin’.
BrooklynIsHome…people that buy a place for $6MM+ don’t shop at Cosco and buy 24 packs to save money!!!!!
all parquet is not created equal. can’t imagine having an issue with this parquet.
1 pierrpont is an amazing building. Albeit, this unit is way over priced… The apartments are real hardcore true apartments. Meaning, you get large rooms, enough bathrooms to accomodate all the rooms!, a maids room off a huge kitchen (and I mean huge), formal dining room. views, rooftop garden. Now the catch: not only is the maintenance disgustingly high, you have to put down 50% cash in this building before you are even considered. I know a very well off couple that was rejected from this building because someone else in the building didn’t like them….I’m just sayin’…
It is lovely (decor aside). I’m suprised Mr. B hasn’t complained about the parquet in the library though.
This appears to be a so-called 10-room home, aka ‘four and a library’. Pretty special. Was previous sale an unrenovated unit and this is ‘done’?
