Co-op of the Day: 62 Pierrepont Street
We’re loving the layout and bones of this three-bedroom apartment at 62 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights. Lots of prewar-y goodness, from the inlaid parquet floors to the large windows to the moldings. Given the lack of a photo, we suspect the kitchen may need some love from the owner, but this seems like a…
We’re loving the layout and bones of this three-bedroom apartment at 62 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights. Lots of prewar-y goodness, from the inlaid parquet floors to the large windows to the moldings. Given the lack of a photo, we suspect the kitchen may need some love from the owner, but this seems like a great space to us for a family looking in the Heights. Based on our guesstimate, the apartment is probably about 1,300 square feet, making its monthly maintenance of $1,287 reasonable and its asking price of $975,000…well, you tell us.

I would not buy this unless I got in writing that I could put in a second bath in the room between the kitchen and the bath. I would turn that into a nice bath and use the additional space to enlarge the kitchen. In other words: a big project. Probably better to just find a nice two-bedroom two bath aprtemnt somewhere else.
This is a very old apartment house. I think it was designed before they really knew what they were doing. #-bedrooms, 2-baths is just nuts.

All ya gotta change is one letter.
Layout is awful — kitchen between two bedrooms? Bah!
no, I don’t think the 775>950 makes sense.
I think the 775 is neither here nor there. Think it would have been a steal at that price last year, right? I only say it would indicate to me that it’s been recently renovated and thus, a 3 bedroom for mid-900s that is DONE makes sense. If it needs work, then price is too high. The cost of renovating — including finding a place to park the family — is high.
Technically we are back to 2005/06 prices (or so), in which case this shouldn’t even sell for 775k.
I’d think if they renovated the bathroom and kitchen, there would be pictures…no?
I voted 799K and I’m stickin’ to it.
And by the way… even if you threw in $100k for renovations over the last year… I reiterate my AAAAARGGGH!!!
Ringo… If it sold for $775 *last year* … then $950 makes sense?!?!?!?!?!
In any market, a 22% return on investment after ONE year is appropriate for real estate?! So, next year it should be $1.2 million?!
AAAARGH!!!
One interior photo – what are they thinking?
DIBS – haha! Didn’t even occur to me that it could be uh … interestingly rewritten.
