Co-op of the Day: 34 Plaza Street East, #704
This 1.5-bedroom pad at 34 Plaza Street East is nice enough but given that it traded for $415,000 back in 2007, the asking price of $629,000 may be a little tough for buyers too swallow, even if the kitchen and bathroom have been recently redone. Probably the sweetest thing about the co-op is the corner…

Upstate friends use a place like this as a pied-a-terre.
Actually, the kitchen, by virtue of the renovation, is narrower than standard NYC galley kitchens. But it def looks nice. As does the terrace. I would rather be on the other side of the Plaza though – I dont think much more than $500K.
“From reading the posts on here it sounds like most of you really want a to be living in a nice split level out in Merrick. This is freakin new york city. you cant have everything!”
THANK YOU. Most people I know who live in NYC would KILL for a kitchen that nice. And yes, I’ve also seen my share of million dollar apartments in Manhattan with kitchens which pale in comparison to this one.
I truly hope the brownstoner readership is not indicative of the overall population in NYC, otherwise we are headed in the direction of another mass migration to the burbs.
I think this awesome apartment. Great building, great location. Love the corner balcony. I agree its really a one bedroom and should be marketed as such. Given the location, balcony, view and all around nice renovation i’d say it should sell (as a 1br) between 500 and 550.
And good god give me a break about the kitchen “being too narrow.” Do any of you people actually live in New York City?!?!? I lived for 22 years in a 2 bedroom on the Upper East Side with a kitchen like that and it sold for well north of 1 million.

talking to some of my california friends – they always find it amazing how important price/sqft is in nyc real estate. easy explanation is simply the very value of space in the city – although i don’t think that full explains it.
anyway, given that that’s the case – shouldn’t their be some more regulation of how one determines and advertises square footage – i mean for many new yorkers the value of an apartment is directly tied to:
(everything positive about the apartment) / pricepersqft
perfectly nice apartment but another delusion seller who wants 50 percent more than s/he paid at the height of the market. watch it sit.
800 measured interior sqf = 1000 sqf for advertising
crap, I’ve been understanding my sqf on my units by 25%
Pete — this isn’t a 1000 sq. foot apt.
And, guess what?
Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something…
don’t be a dope northslope. You know that is not what meant.
Each apt on floor would include a representative %age of the common area.
And this is not a realtor game. Single family houses in podunk are measured by the footprint…by appraisers, insurance companies, etc, etc etc.
So to compare price per sq foot you need to keep that in mind. IF you want to measure usuable sq ft for yourself that is great…and valuable tool. But don’t be so angry when others refer to standard way and then call it a game or
misrepresentation.
