Co-op of the Day: 420 12th Street 2BR
We’re liking the looks of this two-bedroom, two-bath loft at the Ansonia in the South Slope. In this case, the exposed brick works well in relation to the wood-beamed ceilings of the 1,200-square-foot apartment and the interior courtyard is killer. The new listing—the first open house is this weekend—comes with a price tag of $899,000…

The new listing—the first open house is this weekend—comes with a price tag of $899,000 and a monthly maintenance of $921. While that’s still $750 a foot, there are several apartments in the building that have sold for more money in the past couple of years.

Remember that the Ansonia is a fairly short walk to the subway stop at 9th Street and 4th Ave, which provides quick access to the Q, N, B and D express trains.
Propjoe,
That building is on state street, and off the main artery, so not so bad. As to the apartment – if you like open loft space with kitchen appliances just thrown in against a wall, it may be up your alley.
Doesn’t seem “obvious” to me.
The most important factor in real estate is Location, and while the neighborhood is good, the actual location of the apartment sucks.
It’s also been on the market forever, I’m pretty sure.
And the schools in PS are far better.
It might be better for some (maybe a couple without kids or a bachelor), but I really don’t think it’s “obviously” a better apartment.
As I said, the traffic around there is a total nightmare.
Wouldn’t being on the border of 5 hoods & across the street from every train be more appealing than being 45 minutes out from midtown. It takes me 20 minutes door to door from Fort Greene to 14th st via Atlantic. Given what we all see here, price seems in line. Just saying
$899k $791k
1200 sqft 1350 sq ft
courtyard courtyard
$921 cc $451 cc plus taxes
45 min 20 min commute to 14th st
commute
to 14th st
Seems obvious.
Looks nice, but judging by the map on Streeteasy, the location is horrendous. Right there smack in the middle of the most nightmarish traffic corner in Brooklyn.
that place looks incredible. I just cant think where that building would be around 3rd ave and flatbush.
Prop Joe, great layout but I’m pretty sure that is right on the Atlantic Ave/Flatbush Corner across from One Hanson Place.
Not by any means touting this place but it’s bigger & closer to the city. I came across this on the Halstead website. It’s close to my hood of Fort Greene rather than sticks of 12th st.
Thoughts?

i agree with the construction factor. I just like the newswalk building more. I have friends that live on 12th and 8th ave and I spend alot of time in the area and love it.
dealing with only the F does suck tho.
