Co-op of the Day: 277 Washington Avenue, #3J
Apartment 3J at 277 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is a nice prewar apartment and is in a good location but we’re not sure it’s really a $399,000 apartment in this market. Judging from the listing photos, it’s a pretty tight squeeze to get both a couch and a small dining table into the living…
Apartment 3J at 277 Washington Avenue in Clinton Hill is a nice prewar apartment and is in a good location but we’re not sure it’s really a $399,000 apartment in this market. Judging from the listing photos, it’s a pretty tight squeeze to get both a couch and a small dining table into the living room; in addition, the kitchen is really just a recessed kitchenette. We like the plaster moldings, high ceilings and built-ins but we’ll be surprised if this sells for more than $350,000.

who’s the a-hole that gave a clinton hill comp? don’t you know you are only supposed to give comps of incomparable Park Slope pads?
I guess if you eat out all the time? Maybe a Pratt student with wealthy parents? Hard to see a regular adult being ok with the kitchen.
Yeah, I don’t think it’s 700sf. Not much more than 500, I’m guessing.
Babs! How dare you…. you just lost the realtor like $1500 in commission! Now they’ll have to sell 2 houses this quarter!
As a Clinton Hill fan I feel compelled to point out absurdity in the market place so that my opinions on more reasonable values carry some weight. And yes this is an example of overreaching in the biggest way. This is a glorified studio in a nice if not spectacular building. 275 would be a good sale price for this apt.
I thought the half-height thing was the d/w. But, I couldn’t see the fridge (around the corner?) I don’t know how people live with those mini-fridges. I have a huge fridge and it’s practically filled all the time.
That place has way too many strikes against it, in my opinion. I think it’s worth about 265K in this market. But, I wouldn’t pay that.
Really more a two-room studio. That said, nice building (I’ve sold apartments in there in the past), good location, stable co-op. I say $339K, based on some recent contracts signed in the area and in Prospect Heights.
Here’s your comp:

This place is MAYBE 500sf.
Cute, but tiny. How big are the rooms? There are no measurements. They could expand the kitchen into the closet and turn the back of the bedroom into a closet.
