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. 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…

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?

well then maybe the broker is classy and didn’t appreciate having the comments talk about human excrement and talking about the listing agent as a piece of meat. again…some of you are so disturbed that you don’t even realize it. it means you really have no soul if you believe you can say whatever you like on a blog and not even think about the family who might be trying to sell this. there is a way to be constructive without coming across as negative about each and every point over and over. it doesn’t speak well for you to say such things as if they don’t count because it is the internet.
lo and behold, the photos are back, along with the floorplan! Lil’ intrigue going on here…
I 2nd that. it’s the f’ing $700k price and don’t think listing it at $699k make it feel any cheaper. Go tell the agent to list it at $500k and it’ll be sold
I reserve the right to diss any apartment on a real estate blog, especially the one that I secretly love and end up bidding 10% above ask to secure it…
“you all just helped another apartment in brooklyn not sell.”
Me thinks, the state of the ecomony has more to do with apts not selling than comments on a blog.
whether or not the apartment is the correct price, was barely even mentioned here. so thats not a great excuse. the comments were about trivial things, and it’s obvious from reading it over that people on this blog just like to be negative. it’s not the brooklyn that i know, and quite frankly, its disturbing that so many people on here want to be negative about every little thing.
Swine flu: One might counter that by saying that the posters saved some poor soul from losing his shirt and overpaying in a declining market. That seems to be plenty supportive of Brooklyn
“I would love to participate in this discussion except the broker has pulled the photos and layout. Damn brokers.

Very interesting turn of events, especially in light of the NY Times article.
Guess they didn’t like the poo mist discussion….
maybe the broker was sick of seeing the idiot posters on brownstoner rip the place to shreds. its a beautiful apartment and thanks to the repetitively negative comments about it, you all just helped another apartment in brooklyn not sell. congrats losers. and here i thought the point of this blog was to support brooklyn. silly me.
