Co-op of the Day: 39 Remsen Street, #1E
This ground-floor two-bedroom at 39 Remsen Street first hit the market in March 2008 with an asking price of $749,000. Since then it’s undergone five price cuts and is currently asking $610,000. The layout’s nice, as are the high ceilings. Obviously the big drag on this place is the lack of light and views, but…

The layout’s nice, as are the high ceilings. Obviously the big drag on this place is the lack of light and views, but we don’t think the Ikea kitchen and white appliances are helping the cause either. Lack of a second bathroom may also be a turn-off to some buyers. Where will it end?

Shame that the living room is quite tight. but a livable space compared to some. i could see it go for 545
The apt has a high deductibility (64%) which could mean the bldg still has a big mtg and most likely sky-high property taxes. Though I wonder what type of servies they’re getting for $450/month remainder.
Brownstoner – please stop commenting on the color and/or the quality of the appliances. Nobody cares, and nobody will make a buy or not buy decision based on this. You are doing yourself a disservice.
there is a second bathroom.
no, maintenance doesn’t come down if this unit is sold. why would it?
maintenance always holds units in this building down, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see several reluctant buyers coming in to bite at this price point. 2 bed/2 bath on remsen for 600k is a pretty good deal (I think. I mean who knows these days)
I looked at this unit an owner or two ago. It feels big, but no views is a drag.

Tiny 2-bedroom; big mistake.
Remsen Street = BooooooooooHooooooo!!
brooklyn heights = highest maintenance in BK. If you’re looking there, don’t be surprise by high maintenance – ie be surprised if it was LOW.
very good location. good condition. at around 510k, can over look the high maintenance and the white appliance
I truly think that it’s the maintenance that’s making this a stretch for people in that price range. Otherwise, it’s a great apartment.
I think it will drop to $575K
the worst of the problems is the high maintenance!
It’s a hohum apt in a nice looking building in a great nabe
what more can I say?
you can also get a great looking apt in a crappy new development in relatively sketch nabe for $575K as well…
up to you….
Common charges are high and it’s got a 10 cent kitchen. Layout is a little more interesting than the typical brownstone condo layout though. Kitchen probably needs some updating but it’s not a gut job.
