Co-op of the Day: 692 President Street
This top-floor duplex at 692 President Street has a couple of things going for it: It’s cute and it has exclusive roof rights. (The listing describes a slick new kitchen but fails to include a photo.) On the flip side, at 650 square feet, this one-bedroom is on the small side. Luckily, the monthly maintenance…
This top-floor duplex at 692 President Street has a couple of things going for it: It’s cute and it has exclusive roof rights. (The listing describes a slick new kitchen but fails to include a photo.) On the flip side, at 650 square feet, this one-bedroom is on the small side. Luckily, the monthly maintenance is only $536. The asking price, however, is $499,000, which is high on a per-square-foot basis, unless you place a lot of value on the undeveloped roof.

Ha. Of course I’d make that typo…I’m NOT trying to sway anyone.
But yeah..when I see a 1 bedroom in BH for 700K and an equally nice looking one for 400K in PS, I’ll post a link…sure…
“I hate when the put the stove-top against a wall. Makes it difficult to use the right burners, and possible damage to the wall.”
Yes, noticed that. The kitchen might be “slick” (or was it sleek?), but it has the design and size problems that you put up with in a rental, not that you’d pay this kind of money for.
Total coincidence, Biff. If I saw this listed in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn Heights, Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Prospect Heights, I’d be gushing all the same…
I’m not gunna lie though. Park Slope is my favorite ‘hood. Makes sense since I choose to live here, no…?
It’s interesting, because I find people who are enthusiastic about their neighborhood a GOOD thing. I’m trying to sway anyone…I’m just giving my perception and opinions. You all could hate Park Slope (and it seems some do) and it has no bearing whatsoever on my love for it.
Spiral staircases were cool until I was about 12. Now they look like head trauma. It’s cute, but half a million dollars?
11217, AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Every time a Park Slope apartment is posted you are gushing over it. And in almost every case where an apartment is listed in any other prime area you find fault with it and/or dig up a listing of a comp in Park Slope that you say you would prefer. The second I saw the address of this place on the main page I knew you would be in here singing it’s praises.

Cute place though. Will sell for 450k and the new owner should spend 20k to build out the roof deck
Pretty sure that kitchen photo wasn’t up yet when we wrote this yesterday…
However, the roofdeck has shared access, and this is a coop. There might be a reason the roof is bare. I would have loved to have an apartment like this as a student. Maybe someone will figure it’s cheaper to buy this than pay housing fees for their proud NYU 2013 graduate?
The Corcoran site says roof rights to HALF the roof.
That kitchen is at best a one cook kitchen. The sink looks like a bar sink. Dishwasher? Great place for a single young person who wouldn’t mind climbing down the spiral staircase at 3am to snack on leftover take-out.
