Co-op of the Day: 344 6th Avenue, #2
This floor-through brownstone co-op at 344 6th Avenue (between 4th and 5th Streets) is attractive but not a show-stopper. The bay windowed-living room is the nicest part of apartment; the kitchen is pretty blah and the bedrooms, while attractive, are on the narrow side. The sellers cost basis for this place is $610,000 from back…
This floor-through brownstone co-op at 344 6th Avenue (between 4th and 5th Streets) is attractive but not a show-stopper. The bay windowed-living room is the nicest part of apartment; the kitchen is pretty blah and the bedrooms, while attractive, are on the narrow side. The sellers cost basis for this place is $610,000 from back in ’05, so the current asking price of $665,000 is reasonable in that context (and the monthly maintenance of $520 is pretty low too). That said, we’ll be surprised if this one clears $600,000. We shall see.

If this were in the PS 321 school zone, wouldn’t the ad say so?
is this 850 sq ft?
Knock out the wall and you have a nice 1BR, which is probably how it started life.
I’m mystified about the ‘bad location’ comments. We rented on the same block for a number of years while our kid was in 321 and later in 51. Perfect location for the kid to walk home. Also, it’s a block to whatever you want on 7th, and a block to whatever you want on 5th. It’s fairly quiet. Not that far from the ‘R’ at Union either, altho admittedly not super-close either.
Get real, people. It’s nice and clean and you can move right in. If the carrying cost per month drops down to $3,000 (or whatever a place this size/layout/location would cost to rent) it will sell.
This is a particular type of apartment that is common in Park Slope. It’s the cheapest two-bedroom you can find for a small family. They’re very narrow. They’ve made the very most of it. The niche in the living room lessens the squeeze just a bit and the kitchen and the pass-through are set up well.
I saw a couple of these back in 2001 in the $300,000s. This one is much nicer.
and I have never bought a new car. I might have to now that I’m here though – can’t believe how cheap new cars are over here. And reasonable fuel costs as well!
Oh my gosh, here he goes, 11217 with his anal compulsive multiple posts!!!
….and each one more interesting than the last!
I have never bought a used car. There you have it. DIVERSITY!!
The fact that you would call a Volkswagon Passat a Jalopy shows just what an elitist snob you really are, Sam.
“Sixth Avenue about a mile away from the subway.”
Not that you’ll admit you are wrong on this either, but 6th Avenue and 5th Street is a mile from the subway?
Really? So the F train at 7th Avenue and 9th Street is a mile??
