Co-op of the Day: 22 8th Avenue Duplex
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. This duplex at 22 8th Avenue in Park Slope, which combines the parlor and garden floors of the massive brownstone, just hit the market with an asking price of $2,200,000. The price tag seems lofty for just part of a house, but this unit is 3,000-square-feet large (plus it has another 1,500 square feet…
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S. This duplex at 22 8th Avenue in Park Slope, which combines the parlor and garden floors of the massive brownstone, just hit the market with an asking price of $2,200,000. The price tag seems lofty for just part of a house, but this unit is 3,000-square-feet large (plus it has another 1,500 square feet of basement space and a small deck and full garden rights). And, obviously, the scale of historic quality of the architecture are stunning. So, do they have a shot?

Parlors are 16 feet wide, that’s gotta be nice. Agree kitchen is very nicely done to complement the rest of the apt. Maybe this will be a nice apt for a couple with grown kids who have a lot of parties with more than 1,000 guests.
drool-worthy, and I’m not usually a fan of lots of woodwork. would I pay $2.2 mil for it? Even if I had it, probably not. You can get a whole house in PS for that much.
Goldie: that’s a pretty asinine comment. Don’t insult the artist with your ignorance.
2.2 million can buy a super-swanky co-op with views and services. No little crooked steps to get you under the stoop. I like the romance of this, but I like even better the idea of knock-your-socks off views (rather than views of socks).
It does seem crazy somehow to spend over two million dollars for two floors of a Brooklyn house, no matter how grand.
goldie, i guess if the painting were by john curran you would think it nice. the painting is fab and adds to the character of the place, not just a “whitebread” apartment. obviously, the people have more than money, they have a sense of what is new and different. people said the same thing about basquiat. why have the same old thing as everyone else? too common.
Lovely space indeed. Way out of my price range, but lovely.
Even if it were in my price range, I don’t think I’d be jumping at the opportunity to be part of a four unit co-op.

That was my thought as well. I love his Napoleon painting at the Brooklyn Museum.
I’ve given up on the whole condo thing. The economics of owning a brownstone all in are so much better. The common charges and the taxes on this thing seem high…$27,000 a year. If this thing sells for 15% below ask though it’d be $623 psf which ain’t bad. That said, it takes a particular person who will pay the CCs forever and not opt for full ownership of a brownstone.
This is a beautiful parlour floor though and I think anyone would be proud to own it.
PropJoe,
After attending Charm School, consider taking a remedial math course.
$2.2mm divided by “approx 2,300sf” does not equal “almost $1400 per sq foot.”
