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…

Probably the sweetest thing about the co-op is the corner balcony overlooking Grand Army Plaza. Very nice indeed.

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.
If the 1/2 bd makes baby Jesus cry, that kitchen would make him downright suicidal. 7ft across? Really? Seriously? That kitchen is a sin. And the fact that it was recently renovated and was kept that small is a bigger sin. Seller should’ve ditched the 1/2 bd and had a bigger kitchen with a breakfast nook and pantry or something.
“you don’t measure the inside of rooms and add up to sq footage in any bldg.”
Uh, actually, *I* do measure square footage that way.
Do you know why? I don’t live between the walls or in the elevator shaft or in the effin hallway.
I don’t care about stupid realtor games. I care about “will my crap fit in this space in an arrangement I find livable”.
Oh, and wtf is this:
“You take footprint of floor and divide up by apts on floor”
So, you have 4 apartments on the floor, the building is 100 x 40, and you magically declare each apartment in 1000 sq foot? Even if one is a studio, one is 3 bedroom, one is a 1 bedroom, one is a 2 bedroom, there is a laundry room, interior stairwell, and elevator.
Please…
Make sense if you want to be taken seriously.
No, actually, you don’t include common space in the apartment’s square footage. You include the common space when you try to figure out each units % of common interest.
Regardless, this is nowhere near 1000 sqft.
you don’t measure the inside of rooms and add up to sq footage in any bldg. You take footprint of floor and divide up by apts on floor (so yes each apt sq ft will include some common space, and walls, etc, etc). But you all know about real estate so knew that anyway.
I think is very nice apt which will go for close to asking.
Views and decent size terrace. And it looks like all rooms have the view but not sure.
2nd bedroom works great as office/guest room and with double door opens to be more spacious feel.
Sounds like very reasonable maint for a doorman bldg.
As someone approaching age of possible downsizing…this would be the type of thing I would consider. I can see why not so appealing to child rearing group.
This agent is ridiculous…she overinflates the square footage on all of her listings. This should sell close to $500K.
Love the terrace.
The rest scores a solid “meh.”
Big up to corcoran for the honesty in calling the smaller “bedroom” one half. Challenging layout.
The effect of the trees through the transparent balcony panels make the view look like that of the Gowanus. Killer balcony nontheless.
***Bid half off peak comps***
How the heck did they get 1000 SF? I guess they are using Corcoran wide-angle lens measurements…:) I agree, they should have opened the kitchen, if possible, into the fake .5 bedroom space. As is, its a too-narrow galley – I cant see how you can stand in front of the oven, and have enough clearance to open it. Price is delusional.
