Co-op of the Day: 35 Pierrepont Street, #3B
We suspect this two-bedroom listing at 35 Pierrepont Street will go into contract faster than most in this market: It’s got lots of prewar charm, is well-laid out and is priced reasonably at $785,000. The only drag is the maintenance of $1,303; on the flip side, you’re getting one of the nicer full-service buildings in…

I lived in Apt. 7B (exact replica of this one) from 1964 to 1971. Best thing about it was the short walk to the promenade. I wonder if there are remnants of my stupid decals of psychedelic butterflies on the French doors to the kitchen. The elevator man practically frisked our black friends before he’d take them upstairs. It was a good apartment but not a great apartment (post-war but pre-remodel). When we left for California the rent (it wasn’t a co-op then) was $325. The “penthouse” apartment had just become vacant for $600-something — totally out of our range.
A spittoon? Now that’s something I’d pay for. A polished spittoon? What’s better than that? Hell, yeah.
The LR/DR is too small, the rest of the apartment is nothing special and not so large either, and the maintenance is insane. I don’t know why anyone would pay more than $550 for it.
(And an elevator operator in this century? Is there someone on staff also to polish the spittoons and trim the candlewicks?)
why not put this money in a brownstone co-op, cut the geriatric service staff aspect of the maintenance… and build 30 water wells in India a year with the savings?
I saw Gabriel Byrne recently at Tazza on Henry & Atlantic. I heard he lives on Garden Place.
This is a very nice building. The drag is that one has to wait for the elevator man who does double duty as the doorman; while some might like the feeling of being waited upon it is mostly an inconvenience.
I’m pretty sure Squidward lives in BH. Seems like his kind of nabe.
Used to see Bob Balaban in the park on the promenade (when kid was young)…
How many celebrities live in BH? I’ve only seen Giamatti, but Mr. Biatch has seen Gabriel Byrne and Michael Showalter.
