Co-op of the Day: 719 Carroll Street, #1L

This is a comparable apartment at same ask – a few feet wider, so the space seems a bit less claustrophobic. The second bedroom is a nice size and both have closets. It has an extra half bath and laundry. The storage in basement is not as nice though, but the back deck/garden is sweet. Its been on the market for quite a while, with at least one price reduction (another coming..?). Locationin central slope is not as good, which is possibly why its still sitting?
Frankly, I think they are both overpriced. Who seriously wants to spend $700,000 to have a cramped living space!!??

well if it was at 683k in early 2006 it would have been listed for waaaaay more if listed in late 2007.
so chances are this will be dropped alittle. The deck is great looking.
I think it is lovely. Even sent it to my friend who is looking for a two bedroom in the Slope for under 700k. There is a pretty nice sized closet off of the kitchen, and a huge storage space which comes with the apt. One could conceivably turn the office off of the bigger bedroom into a killer walk-in closet/office and still have two bedrooms – albeit one being teeny.
Carroll is a nice street here too, no?
My only question is, why is it back on the market for 15k higher than its listing during the peak of the market?
Seems strange.
I saw an identical apartment on the block. The space is nice, but it is very narrow. Because the entry opens into the LR, it creates a very claustrophobic space if you put in a full sofa (coffee table is all but impossible obviously). Unfortunately the beautiful original wood divider tightens the space further – without it, it is a bit better. The second bedroom has no closet, and works really only as a small office or a baby room – a little too small for a child. And the extra room off the main bedroom should be utilized as a walk in closet, as none exists in that room. The understair storage is narrow, but good if you have junk for long term storage. I cannot comment on the extra storage room in the basement, but it looks like it would be great storage room, or a decent office/rec/guest room.
Im guessing that the narrowness will turn off most, but I guess they may get not too far off of ask because of location – there are people looking to buy, but who knows.
The storage space is wider than the unit!!! LOL
THL…where do you put your feet if there’s no coffee table???
I know this location & layout well: both are outstanding for singles, couples & families with one [maybe two] small kids.
The fretwork room divider & backyard are killer too.
No coffee table? No problem! You’d just compensate with grandiose end tables.
I think it’s beautiful.
And for once the brokers seem to have underestimated it in the wording. It’s actually a 2 bedroom plus office….no?
