Co-op of the Day: 242 Baltic Street, #17
This one-bedroom co-op at 242 Baltic Street in Cobble Hill has a very nice feel to it. Open, a little modern but still characterful. Maybe the photography is making the place look better than it is, but it feels spacious and light in a way that railroad-style layouts often don’t. The kitchen is also tastefully…

Maybe the photography is making the place look better than it is, but it feels spacious and light in a way that railroad-style layouts often don’t. The kitchen is also tastefully done. The asking price is $549,000 (down from $585,000 last summer) and the maintenance is a quite manageable $500.
42 Baltic Street, #17 [Brown Harris Stevens] GMAP P*Shark
An identical unit in the same building was pulled from the market this summer with a last asking price of $499,000. The pricing on this unit is delusional. Asking price should be around $450,000 and if someone offers $400,000, they should take it. It’s a railroad, for god’s sake. I live in a similarly sized apartment with a better layout (not a railroad) on a nicer block (Bergen between Hoyt and Bond) and I pay $2000 a month in rent. Why would I buy this place? For the pleasure of paying $1200 a month more than I am currently?
petebklyn- I walk this block everyday twice a day and it’s a nice block but no nicer than similar Carroll Gardens / Cobble Hill side streets. You’re acting like this is the Champs Elysees or something. Just from my own experience- I’ve lived on President Street and now on Cheever Place and both are far superioir to this block of Baltic.
According to StreetEasy, it sold for $500k in 2006.
as I said – this is Baltic Street. forget all other comps.
Well, must have been off the market for a while. I guess then you can say “new to market.” Again. Ha.
What’s wrong with the kitchen?
Did this seller check any comps in Brooklyn at all before setting the price? You can get a 2 BR coop with laundry in Park Slope on a decent block for this price these days.
Piece of cr@p. Needs a new kitchen. Living room has one window exposure(other taken by the bath room). Broker site blatantly lies claiming it’s “new to the market” (how do they get away with that? Re-priced and new to the market are 2 completley different things). Nice block but one of nicest blocks in BK is a huge stretch.
Ages? So the “last Summer” price REALLY is last summer, 2008?
This apt has been for sale for ages, surprised the price hasn’t come down much.
