Co-op of the Day: 205 Park Place
The details—mantel, moldings, original floors—give this one-bedroom at 205 Park Place in Prospect Heights a nice vibe. The railroad layout is probably suboptimal for some, with the bathroom through the bedroom in the rear.

The details—mantel, moldings, original floors—give this one-bedroom at 205 Park Place in Prospect Heights a nice vibe. The railroad layout is probably suboptimal for some, with the bathroom through the bedroom in the rear. We have no idea if they are the same size, but the last three apartments to sell in the building went for between $420,000 and $440,000, suggesting that the asking price of $435,000 for this one has some basis in history. Of course, we weren’t in the middle of a housing crash when those ones sold, so we shall see. We will be very surprised if the selling price of this place ends up having a “4” at the front of it. It’s being sold by the owner who can be reached at siannegarlick AT gmail DOT com.

Looks like a lovely place. Wish the floor plan was easier to read and had room dimensions in it. I really need that to be able to halfway picture a place. I stink at holding images in my head and have to go between the photos and the floorplan constantly. Bathroom thru bedroom a negative of course, but not 100k worth!
I have to believe that the fact that the underlying mortgage has been paid off (so it says) and the obvious good financials of the building would give this a leg up on price.
We’ve seen 1 bedrooms highlighted here with $600, 700, 800 per month maintenance.
This one is $440.
Guests marching through bedroom to go to tinkle in the bathroom….deduct 100K.
The one vote for 609k is amusing …
Looks like a nice place. I don’t really think any 1 BR should ever sell for more than $400k though, unless the walls are lined with diamonds or something. I agree with wasder that $375k would probably get it done.
Natural Land on Flatbush across from Key Food and next to American Apparel is pretty amazing. Great produce. Good sushi and fish.
And open late.
I lived on that block for a short time several years ago. I love that area. Has grocery options improved over time? (There was only Key Food on Flatbush and Met on was it Vanderbilt?)
I’ve seen a couple of units in this building. The garden and roof are shared.
Really great location and the built-ins and detail are pretty amazing in the units.
I’m loving it. The location is terrific, and the apartment looks really nice.
I prefer the inside of the one you linked, Snark but the one highlighted today seems to have the garden to itself (yes?), which in my mind is worth well over 20K.
Maintenance seems reasonable on both.
I looked at an apt with exact layout on the 1st floor in Jan 2005. Thought it was small and dark for the $440 it eventually went for. This looks nicely renovated but I would be surprised if they could get $375 in this environment.
