Co-op of the Day: 135 Hawthorne Street
This one-bedroom at 135 Hawthorne Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens is large and, at $239,000, relatively affordable. It’s also got plenty of prewar charm to it–including the retro television set in the living room! The layout, complete with foyer and dining area, is also ideal. Think the price will fly? 135 Hawthorne Street [Brown Harris…

I’d love the fridge. Perfect for the bar I want to build in my basement.
If anyone buys this place and upgrades the fridge let me know, I’ll take the old one off your hands.
“my wife’s friend has a cop husband who says”
in other words, brainless gossip
fjorder it’s a little bit on the sketchy side but right up close to the park. my wife’s friend has a cop husband who says the crime rate is actually pretty high compared to other local hoods.
“I love this apt! Has original kitchen, a proper entry with oblique entrance, and all the bookshelves I need. Hope the bath is original too. It’s also on the train that goes directly to my job. It just needs one more bedroom and then it would be perfect and I might actually consider buying it.” (mopar)
Ditto. Except for the train going right to my job.
I really like it.
I’m in love with this place. Maintenance is reasonable. It’s close to the park.
ie relative to the rental, it’s still overpriced but not grossly so and depends on your take on direction of future rents and interest rates.
However, I think someone will bite at/around the $200k level as it’s a good starter place and you get a lot of space for your money.
Who told you 10% down, cw?
I am thinking as a co-op it’s likely 20%… still, this place is a great deal, although I know little to nothing about the neighborhood.
with nice affordable places like that around, why do we workd so hard to jam low income people into “the edge” at the expense of the other residents?
Rob, for reference 1 beds in that area should rent for sub $1,200.
