Co-op of the Day: 358 Eastern Parkway, #8
This two-bedroom, two-bath co-op on the top floor of 358 Eastern Parkway in Prospect Heights has nice vibe to it–prewar deets plus updated kitchen along with nice light. The railroad-y layout may not float everyone’s boat, but for the buyer who will still have some cash lying around after ponying up for the $555,000 asking…

The railroad-y layout may not float everyone’s boat, but for the buyer who will still have some cash lying around after ponying up for the $555,000 asking price the roof rights certainly sweeten the deal. The maintenance is an eminently reasonable $560 per month. You like-y?

to some proximity to the Columbia u area is more important than proximity to the “hot prospect heights nabe”. Guess who’s more loaded 🙂
This board is so predictable! The second I saw the words “Prospect Heights” I knew there’d be a slew of posts by the border nazis pontificating about Washington Ave. You guys need to get a life.
Those bedroooms are awfully small. OK for a family with one child, or, better yet, as a 1 br with study/guest room. In Crown Heights, this is a 425K place or less.
As for the aforementioned “cool factor”: It’s not that CH is a hot neighborhood, but you can easily get to PH, FG, the other CH etc. Whereas in Inwood etc., you can’t easily get to the nearest hot nabe, which is probably the West Village. I agree that the buzz is off Upper Manhattan…
because this building is not in an historic district, the co-op can purchase a cornice that is a standard design stocked by a manufacturer such as Architectural Fiberglass of Long Island. A synthtic (generic fiberglass) cornice is usually cheaper than a wood or pressed metal and can be quite ornate. Sometimes only the brackets and fancy bits are fiberglass and the rest is marine-grade plywood. There are a number of ways to achieve an excellent result.
Minard,
how does fiberglass compare to wood or pressed metal cornice on overall cost (ie including installation)?
A new fiberglass cornice should run about $20,000 or so plus installation. The building would be hugely enhanced.
Cool is in the eye of the beholder.
The floor plan could use a smige of tweeking (move the door to the Master Bedroom deeper into the hall past the second bathroom to form a real Master Suite, flip the sink and shower in the Master Bathroom and install a tub or bigger shower).
Is the Co-Op going to restore the building’s cornice? And if not why not?
> I am not sure why crown heights has more “cool factor” than harlem or wash.heights
That’s because it doesn’t.
