Co-op of the Day: 806 Carroll Street, #2 (Revisited)
There’s no arguing with the beauty of this parlor floor co-op at 806 Carroll Street in Park Slope. We virtually drooled over the kingly one-bedroom pad when when featured it as a House of the Day in February 2008. Back then it was asking $1,195,000.

There’s no arguing with the beauty of this parlor floor co-op at 806 Carroll Street in Park Slope. We virtually drooled over the kingly one-bedroom pad when when featured it as a House of the Day in February 2008. Back then it was asking $1,195,000. The owner must not be particularly desperate to sell because fifteen months later the price has only been trimmed to $1,150,000. A lot of dough, but at least the maintenance is a mere $850 per month.

No, I would not sit in a laundromat. My dress shirts go out of course.
Yeah, laundry in common basement would feel like a luxury to me right now. Everything’s relative I guess. Oh, that must be the most banal thing I’ve written on here so far. Forgive me.
I actually send my laundry out to be done for me. It’s cheaper than doing it myself and saves me the pain of sitting in the laundromat all day.
lechacal…I would agree if it were a larger building but don’t condsider it an issue for something this small, 3-4 units. If they had a laundry in this unit they would get the asking price but the place would seem even smaller 🙂
Also, they are no longer Chinese, they are generally Koreans.
Rob, I am in the market at potentially well over $1m and we do all of our own laundry. Isn’t that actually a luxury in NYC? The alternative is giving it to the Chinese guy around the corner, but you only do that if you don’t have your own washer and dryer.
Dave, you own the whole building so location of laundry is just a matter of personal preference. In a coop laundry in basement means it is not in your personal space and you are sharing with other people. College kid stuff.
Rob,
Common sense please. If the “average” apartment in Manhattan last year was a good ways north of one million bucks, do you actually believe that MOST people have someone else doing their laundry for them?
Some sort of service? Housemaids in dresses with fluffy dusters?
I can tell you, without equivocation, that I do, on average, two loads of laundry per day. Myself. Wash, dry, fold, put away. And as we all know, I and the Mister have been looking in the range well over one million. Just sayin’.
It’s not so much the basement per say as the issue of leaving the actual apartment for laundry and sharing said laundry with others in the building. No thanks.
Yes rob, though not as frequently as I should!!! I think we best take this discussion to the OT.
