Co-op of the Day: 41 Eastern Parkway, #5C
We think this two-bedroom co-op at 41 Eastern Parkway is gorgeous and we suspect others will feel the same. The prewar details are in pristine shape and the modern kitchen appears tastefully done. The only complaint is that the second bedroom looks sightly awkwardly carved out of what looks like should be a very large…
We think this two-bedroom co-op at 41 Eastern Parkway is gorgeous and we suspect others will feel the same. The prewar details are in pristine shape and the modern kitchen appears tastefully done. The only complaint is that the second bedroom looks sightly awkwardly carved out of what looks like should be a very large one-bedroom; because of where the kitchen is now located, though, it would be difficult to convert. The monthly maintenance of $961 is a little on the high side given the size of 875 square feet. How about that asking price of $629,000?

95th is pretty good comp. Close in price and common charge.
Even tho they list sq footage as similar the bedrooms on E.P. are bigger ( 4′ longer on both). Living rm and kitchen look larger also. But all in pretty good comp.
I guess we’ll see which sells quicker and at what price.
NOP — “Alrightniks” — never heard that before. Funny.
Here you go, 1/2 a block from Central park:

and don’t tell me this is to high on the Upper West side ’cause this East. PWY apt ain’t Park Slope.
Looks sort of dull to me. IMHO.
your upper west side is walkup nondoorman bldg with 1 small window in living room facing back and 2nd bdroom 7’wide.
Gramercy park calls it 2 bedroom – but it is 1 bedroom with living room cut in half- leaving you with small windowless living room.
Show me classic prewar doorman elevator bldg with real rooms.
Stringer, theres a bunch of delusional idiots on this board. Some still talk of “investments” in RE. LOL. This blog will not exist in 2 years a la pets.com
Hey 11217, here’s an apt more similar in price + maintenance and it’s in a townhouse UWS:

I do not care much that Brooklyn RE is toast. I’m just laughing out loud at these most ridiculous asking prices i see on Brownstoner.
Polemicist:
No, although it may have provided house-keeping services when it first opened, as upper-middle-class apartments of its generation sometimes did.
“Copley Plaza,” the building’s name, no doubt recalled the hotel of the same name in Boston. In keeping with Eastern Parkway’s assimilationist function among upwardly-striving Jewish Brooklynites before World War II, names like it helped anglicize first- and second-generation American professionals, politicians, and garment factory owners, called “alrighntniks” by their lower-class cousins in places like Brownsville and East New York.
The building’s a beauty and deserves a head-to-toe restoration — including bringing back those revolving doors and redecorating the lobby, which is very impressive.
“On Prospect Park” (which in just world would be One Eastern Parkway), may just be the key to bringing back this stretch of the parkway. Note Number 25 next door. This lovely little Georgian-Revival number has languished for decades behind metal-plated doors. Fixed up, it would “bridge” Grand Army Plaza’s buildings with the Copley Plaza and others beyond, helping to restore Eastern Parkway as one of the city’s top addresses.
Nostalgic on Park Avenue
Didn’t this building used to be a hotel?
