Co-op of the Day: 135 Prospect Park SW
Return of the stuffed animal photos! Our furry friend was last spotted in a studio in Prospect Heights and now has popped up in this two-bedroom co-op at 135 Prospect Park Southwest in Windsor Terrace.

Return of the stuffed animal photos! Our furry friend was last spotted in a studio in Prospect Heights and now has popped up in this two-bedroom co-op at 135 Prospect Park Southwest in Windsor Terrace. In case you couldn’t tell from the Home Depot-esque kitchen, the listing is a sponsor unit–so no board approval required. You will be required to pony up a modest monthly maintenance of $670. The asking price is $639,000. By comparison, we featured a one-bedroom in the building in March asking $399,000 that appears to have gone into contract already.

wtgal, that doesn’t sound bad.
With a building this size, and with an influx of young blood, hiring a pair of doormen to deal with deliveries at least on the weekdays would increase the maintenance by very little given how many people will share the cost. But if the culture of the building is Spartan, that’s that.
It looks like solid, cheap, no-frills housing.
I live in the building next door. It’s a great location, right across from the lake. The building is a handsome one. Best neighborhood in Brooklyn, IMHO. And the quietest.
you are not the only one cggirl. for all we know that stupid stuffed animal could have bedbugs and this dumb broker is spreading it from building to building!
*rob*
I bought the tiniest two room apartment in this building right after 9/11 (I’ve since sold it.) The photos of the green tiled bathroom made me a bit nostalgic. A bit about the building, Sam…
-there’s no doorman but there is a live in super
-there’s no parking
-it’s definitely not a building of old-school Brooklyn renters–lots of younger, single, married and folks with families who own their apartments
-there is one old timer–Fred–who everyone in the neighborhood knows–not because he walks around in slippers but because he holds “court” on a bench across from the building in the park and chats with his female admirers.
Am I the only one to find this stuffed animal thiong annoying?
Looks like a solid handsome building and views of the park is nothing to sneeze at. Is there parking in the building? Is there a doorman? There should be. Most crucial question: How many of the apartments are owner-occupied and how many are old-timers who you will see every day, in their house dresses and slippers, in the lobby? Not to sound snooty, but a giant building full of old-school Brooklyn renters would give me pause.
So I want to know more. I like the fauxdega on the corner. otherwise, google streetviews makes the loation look a little like suburban Albany. Wide open spaces.
Sounds like a lot of space based on the verbiage, but a floorplan would go a long way towards showing off this place.
It’s nice to be on the park, but there isn’t really that much that nearby to justify the high price.
This is overpriced by quite a bit. Actually, I find the price for this particular apartment insulting. And where is the floor plan? Amateurs…
How do you all think this homey approach (stuffed animals, no floor plans, excessive verbiage) flies in this tough market? Who has patience for it?
