Co-op of the Day: 135 Eastern Parkway
If we ever grow tired of brownstone living, chances are we’ll end up at Turner Towers. It’s got the best price-to-grandeur ratio around. Today’s listing (which, incidentally could do with some better photos—come on, independent brokers, you gotta at least have good pics if you’re going to compete with the big boys) is one of…
If we ever grow tired of brownstone living, chances are we’ll end up at Turner Towers. It’s got the best price-to-grandeur ratio around. Today’s listing (which, incidentally could do with some better photos—come on, independent brokers, you gotta at least have good pics if you’re going to compete with the big boys) is one of those huge family-sized layouts (E line maybe?) with the maid’s room, dining room, etc. that we can’t get enough of. And, looky here, the asking price of $895,000 comes out to less than $500 a foot—it’s been a while since we’ve seen that in the building. Granted, it’s probably on a lower floor than this similarly-sized unit that was listed for $1,100,000 last winter (and the kitchen’s a downer too), but this is a lot of apartment for under a million bucks.

The monthly maintenance on this apartment is more than my mortgage, maintenance and a nice dinner at Al Di La.
Not doin’ it for me.
Whoops, etson beat me to the punch.
To quote Emily Litella: “Never mind.”
That “similarly-sized unit that was listed for $1,100,000 last winter” mentioned above is now listed at $850,000.
Let the chopping begin.
By the way… “a lot of apartment for under a million bucks”
Wow.
The Monthly Maintenance is more than my monthly rent… And it does look like a miserably huge building.
Agree with Ditto. Layout does not take maximum advantage of windows or entertaining space, instead breaks everything up into separate little rooms. Of course with those dark, tiny photos, who can really tell?
looks like a hospital in Chicago.
want to add: I dont want to spread rumors about the building when I have no knowledge of what’s real. that realtor was kinda nuts — “it’s going to take a lot of money to get this presentable — three bathrooms at 75 thousand each… a kitchen can run 150 conservatively” on and on. I wonder if he wasn’t trying to buy it himself!
but the flip tax on this building is always an issue. (but it’s also why I’d think they’d have a lot in the bank even after all the work they’ve done recently)
it’s the E line. TT floorplans say so — look for front door.
wonder what that penthouse went for. cheap, cheap, cheap I’m sure. I dont know why — huge and not a terrible renovation. the renovation didn’t scare me, but what did scare me was this COMPLETELY nuts mishmash of PVC pipes running around the penthouse. Broker says water pipes are screwed up. Fixing it will be many millions. I wonder what the real story with that is. Surely they have many millions! If that system fails, I can’t imagine all the damage that would happen
