Co-op of the Day: 130 St. Edwards Street
We’ve never posted anything about this cluster of co-ops at the corner of Myrtle and Ashland Place but this 1,100-square-foot three-bedroom at 130 St. Edwards Street seems like a good place to start.

We’ve never posted anything about this cluster of co-ops at the corner of Myrtle and Ashland Place but this 1,100-square-foot three-bedroom at 130 St. Edwards Street seems like a good place to start. The main drawback seems to be the low ceilings. Other than that, it looks in good shape. It’s not bound for the pages of Architectural Digest but that’s not the point. It’s a family-sized apartment with a low monthly maintenance of $785 with onsite parking available. The asking price is $539,000. What do you make of that?

Another foot for the ceilings and I think this would a decent apt. Has a lot to offer. Only know neighborhood slightly, tho.
Oh, is there no train nearby?
This is in the middle of nowhere — no stores or services nearby. I guess it would be ok if you wanted to drive everywhere, but in that case, why live in Brooklyn?
Good space for the $ – but the location is awful. Yes, yes – there are new developments on Flatbush etc etc. Still, Ive been on that strectch of myrtle at night and well, you get the rest…
also, one and a half baths for a three bedroom apt is only partially intelligent.
I like the floor plan. I hate the floors.
The apartment is nice, but the location is questionable.
I am surprised that there is a market-rate co-op at that site. I always assumed that those blocks north of the park were all housing projects. It definitely has the vibe of housing projects.
OK…I see it now. Sorry. Its actually not that bad of a layout. Even the small bedroom has room for 2 nitestands and a bed.
DIBS, it’s a legit 1000 sq ft (ie calc’d off the flrplans). 2 decent size ones and 1 small one. All have windows & closets. maint includes electricity too.
we looked at such a unit a while back and broker was telling us board was rejecting a ton of people (no reason given). he speculated it could be a ton of the reasons one can think of as one speculates and each speculation would seem to hold some validity to it. That broker actually gave up the listing after we were rejected – ie he gave guessing what kind of buyer it needs to be for board to approve. He suspected and we agreed that we might’ve been rejected for racial reasons (DIBS, another clue for you) and/or that we have a young baby (most of the residents are older retirees who might not like a loud baby)
