Co-op of the Day: 90 8th Avenue, #2A
This new listing at 90 8th Avenue in Park Slope has a great feel to it. The two-bedroom, one-bath co-op has a slightly unusual layout, with a long entry hall, and has been chopped up to create a small second bedroom, but otherwise the prewar finishes and renovated kitchen are all lovely.

This new listing at 90 8th Avenue in Park Slope has a great feel to it. The two-bedroom, one-bath co-op has a slightly unusual layout, with a long entry hall, and has been chopped up to create a small second bedroom, but otherwise the prewar finishes and renovated kitchen are all lovely. The monthly maintenance of $1,153 gets you a doorman and extra storage. Think it’s a reasonable deal at $799,000? How do you think it stacks up against this similar apartment at 2 Grace Court in The Heights?

Renovation/modification is difficult to perform was my only point. Many may not see the need to do either.
way overpriced, cheap looking attempt at designer staging, just looks cheap. When Dibs is negative on this YOU KNOW ITS BAD.
799k … too funny … seller is living in la-la land
90 Eighth Avenue #4C is going for 649K (priced dropped by 50K 4 days ago) … oh look they’re listed by the same company Brown Harris Stevens …
I visited a 2BR co-op on Berkeley at 5th this weekend.

I’d much rather have that one – at its price and maintenance – than this co-op. I just do not understand the appeal of a gigantic doorman building that costs over a grand a month extra in maintenance.
also, on a mostly unrelated note: I hate those farmhouse sinks where the front of the sink is visible. It looks like a piece of cabinetry broke off. Worst kitchen trend ever.
jp2…that’s the type of building I lived in on the UES. It was great for all those reasons…totally soundproof from unit to unit, I kept the heat to a minimum because of the insulation factors. Yes, a wall removal is certainly a messier job that drywall and studs but its so much nicer construction for the reasons I mentioned above.
i have done work in this building. it typifies for me, the classic difficult to renovate nyc pre war. Concrete floors and ceilings with cast in place electrical lines. Threaded glavanized plumbing. Very small electrical service with antiquated fuse box. Decorative cast in place metal door bucks. Super thin strip flooring on cinders. If your looking at this place and want to renovate – its tricky. Oh also for pure humor, i literally had to go to the roof and turn the cold water off at the water tower for a shutdown because of a bizarre series of events.
For whats it worth.
Obviously it comes down to neighborhood preference, but this place looks much brighter to me than the Grace Court listing. Something about that one felt like a cave.
The layout was better though.
Mr. B, are you ok today?
You’re listing 2 Grace Court 1J which is a one bedroom…change it to 6G.
You had me confused, which doesn’t take much!
Definetely BH apt. is better, layout, terrace. Park Slope isn’t the end all!
BH76 is right….someone who’s in the market for a $799k condo is not going to be able to foot that $1,153 maintenance alongside the mortgage.
Ridiculous.
