Co-op of the Day: 414 Albemarle Road, #6D
This co-op at 414 Albemarle Road in Kensington looks like a nice basic prewar apartment. Nuthin’ fancy, but it’s got some prewar charm, decent size (800 square feet) and a reasonable monthly maintenance ($516). On top of that, the bathroom and kitchen look pretty inoffensive compared to a lot of things you see for under…
This co-op at 414 Albemarle Road in Kensington looks like a nice basic prewar apartment. Nuthin’ fancy, but it’s got some prewar charm, decent size (800 square feet) and a reasonable monthly maintenance ($516). On top of that, the bathroom and kitchen look pretty inoffensive compared to a lot of things you see for under $300,000. That’s not to say this apartment will fly off the shelf at its current asking price of $295,000. We suspect there’s a little wiggle room built into that ask.

oh my god – the entire appraisal process for the apartment revolves around 1 stinking BAR!
Mopar, I was wondering the same thing.
I’ve stumbled home at all hours from Sycamore and always been safe. Another friend stumbled home and fell flat on his face at Cortelyou and C I Ave – and woke up at sunrise with his wallet, phone, and keys still in his pockets. It’s a pretty safe neighborhood.
There’s a couple coop buildings closer to Cortelyou around e7th and e8th that I’d consider before this one for no other reason than to be almost the same distance from the F and the Q, just for the choice. The Q has been the better of the 2 trains, in my experience, and the walk home from the Q train along Cortelyou. And you would be stumbling distance from Sycamore…
Inoffensive? What is that counter doing there?
Not more than 15 min to Sycamore. If you are crawling back, that’s another story.
This is a very quiet and pretty block. You are within 5 min. walk of library, post office, F and G trains, express buses, great food shopping and a variety of takeout or unpretentious dining options. You are also within walking distance from B and Q (or you can get a short bus ride, B35 runs very often) and about 10 min. from Prospect Park.
Pretty much the only thing missing is yuppie-style dining/bars. For that, Cortelyou is not too far away.
I am with Snark and aj on this one. I say about 220-230K. 15-20 minute shlep to Sycamore but nice and quite street with a 3 minute walk to F train (oh no I said the F word).
11217, same reason why nobody wants to buy a room
This will go for about $230k. $250k tops.
> Is this stumbling distance from Sycamore?
It’s a 10-12 block stagger. Look both ways before crossing CIA and OP. Objects in beer goggles are closer than they appear.
