Co-op of the Day: 62 Pierrepont Fixer-Upper
This place doesn’t photograph too well and is being marketed as needing a “complete renovation” but we think it’s got potential and could be a good buy considering its prime Brooklyn Heights location and gorgeous pre-war architecture. You could do a killer reno for not much more than $100,000, we’d guess, and then you’d have…
This place doesn’t photograph too well and is being marketed as needing a “complete renovation” but we think it’s got potential and could be a good buy considering its prime Brooklyn Heights location and gorgeous pre-war architecture. You could do a killer reno for not much more than $100,000, we’d guess, and then you’d have a two-bedroom co-op on friggin’ Pierrepont Street for $550,000 all in (and Leslie Marshall would have a few more nickels in her pocket). Anyone gotten a peek inside yet?

That building is top notch (we used to own a unit in there–we completely renovated it and sold it for 2 and a half times what we bought it for . . anyone know what apt # that is?? Just curious.
to non 8:10am…the divine Ms. M may jsut have hit her wall. not for nuthin’ agent take the listing…the rest of us dictate the price it goes for. so everyone qwitchbitchin and make an offer…ya gots nutin to lose.
I like brick walls! I think Leslie Marshall is doing a wondeful job. She knows how to price brick walls.
She deserves all the chips I mean coins she oin’s here.
I don’t think it looks grim. Just covered in too many layers of paint. As for facing the brick wall – it’s certainly quieter than facing the street. I had an apartment once that faced a wall and I ended up liking it, which I didn’t expect. It felt private and quiet and peaceful. No creepy peepers. You could get away with having just sheers on the windows, or nothing. Except maybe someone on the roof next door would be able to see you, depends on what floor it’s on.
This co-op apt makes Hitler’s bunker seem freakin’ CHEERFUL in comparison.
Herr Gott im Himmel !
Ha! What a joke! For that price, I’d rather buy a single family 4,000 sq. ft. brownstone in the hood and live large! What idiot spends that kind of money only to go home to a piece of sh*t apartment like this?!?!? I’d be too ashamed to have my family, co-workers or friends over for a cocktail. It looks like the kind of apartment my grandma would live in and that would only be the case if the apartment was in fact rent controlled. 🙁
It was twelve years ago, just realized. 1994, summer.
Ten years ago I saw an apartment in this building with very similar layout and tiny rooms, looking out on the brick wall (as all the back apartments in do). It was awful, dark (granted, third floor) and grim. Back then it was on sale for $125K.
Oh for $450 it’s fine. $550 no way.
