Co-op of the Day: 225 Park Place, #2G-H
Even if you this apartment wasn’t labeled as a “G-H” combination, it would be pretty obvious from looking at the floorplan that two mirror-image apartments had been put together.

Even if you this apartment wasn’t labeled as a “G-H” combination, it would be pretty obvious from looking at the floorplan that two mirror-image apartments had been put together. The result is a very large (1,200 square feet) two-bedroom apartment with a slightly untraditional layout that appears to work nonetheless. The apartment has lots of prewar details and looks to be in excellent shape. Location-wise, it’s just a couple of blocks from Grand Army Plaza. The monthly maintenance is surprisingly low at $770. Nice place! How does the asking price of $699,000 strike you?

Luxurious? I think the word you are seeking is ridiculous. That is a terrible floor plan. It looks exactly like what it is: two conjoined studio apartments. I think this one will be seeing substantial price reductions in the near future.
Glad they put the photos and floorplan back. This is an absolutely beautiful apartment. Not sure why the small bedroom isn’t the same width as the kitchen, but the rest of the floor plan absolutely does work beautifully. Love the halls. Plenty of space for books and art. The lack of doors on the bathrooms is not a problem — each bathroom includes a dressing room, and the door is on that. How luxurious indeed.
Brokers are people too.
I must say that swine flu is one of the more appropriate broker usernames I’ve seen in a while.
Also, I suspect I now know who it is who appraises at the max bid every property brownstoner posts.
I don’t know .. . yes, a bunch of poorly used space. But I like some things about the way it is. I like some space that is not quite a room — the foyer and that sitting room. Also what people are calling a hallway (or 10 hallways!) is 5’3″ wide. That’s going to feel a lot roomier than an average hallway. I would look at this place if it was in my price range.
> SHIT, SNARK WINS!!!
Tell me what I won, Johnny!
It better not be a year’s supply of Turtle Wax and a copy of the home game.
BRG – the bathrooms are like (attached dressing room)and there are doors to the suites. and I thought it was only some guys who were pee shy.
Agreed lookinginPH. It was nice space, lots of windows, and 2 bathrooms is always nice. I wasnt thrilled the living room view was of phone & cable lines, but that could be overlooked. Think it will sell in the high 5’s/low 6’s, and only to someone who relishes a pretty big reno.
“Wish someone would have posted some comps in Park Slope, as I’m sure there are many.”
See, BRG, you shouldn’t have annoyed 11217 so much!
