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?

Why do you care if Brooklyn RE is toast exactly?
I think you’re just pissed off that you just listed absolutely ABSURD examples of comps (one almost 300K more than the apartment being discussed, one on the market for over 4 YEARS and another on the market for over 2 YEARS).
Those aren’t comps. They are called trash.

That was a quick search made in 1 minute… Be picky if you want, but if that’s your argument to defend the East.Pwy apt, you have to do better than that.
Oh! And if this apt on W21st has been on the market for so long, i would place an even lower offer that 10/15% off…
Brooklyn RE is toast! You’re just too freaking blind to admit it!

Um, that place is $899k with $1700 a month maintenance. How is that comparable to 629K with 961 maintenance?

THESE are your comparisons??? The maintenances on all are outrageous and they’ve been for sale for YEARS!! You don’t think there might be something wrong with them?
Ridiculous statement Peter! You can find plenty of properties in Greenwich village/Chelsea for that price:

And these places above have not sold. I’m sure you offer 10/15% less to any of them and it’s yours.
so go buy in Manhattan. But some people would prefer this location than to Washington Hts or further uptown.
$629,000 for 875sq feet, that’s $744/sq feet + $961 monly maintenance.
Are you freaking kidding me?
If i have to pay that price, i buy in Manhattan.
That’s a total rip off! Stick it up your a$$!
I’ve got to say that the “average reader appraisal” is a joke. It’s not what YOU want to pay, it’s what you think the property is worth based upon the myriad factors.
This handsome building once had an entrance worthy of yesterday’s Montrose Morris article about doors — until the revolving ones in the center arch were knocked out and replaced by a tacky swing door.
As 41 Eastern Parkway gets more expensive (it’s a credible alternative to “On Prospect Park” down the block), the owners should bring back facsimiles of originals.
For a co-op that hypes its “pre-war” status, the board should know it’s all about details.
Is “pre-war detail” code for “unrenovated bathroom?”
