Co-op of the Day: 35 Prospect Park West, #14A and 15A
Tough times at the top! This 11-room duplex at 35 Prospect Park West in Park Slope began its listing life in early 2008 with Stribling asking a cool $4,450,000. That didn’t happen, and Corcoran gave it a whirl later in the year at $4,125,000. Nada. So Brown Harris took the reins in March of this…
Tough times at the top! This 11-room duplex at 35 Prospect Park West in Park Slope began its listing life in early 2008 with Stribling asking a cool $4,450,000. That didn’t happen, and Corcoran gave it a whirl later in the year at $4,125,000. Nada. So Brown Harris took the reins in March of this year with the same asking price. In May, the ask was trimmed to $3,900,000 where it remains today. Still nothing. What’s it gonna take to move this 4,400-square-foot blue chip?

Co-op of the Day: 35 Prospect Park West [Brownstoner]
Ha!
They better have a double axe.
Brown Harris Stevens has an axe, gave that high price 225,000 whacks…
The Schuyler mansion in Albany is primarily visited by people who want to see the indentation on the beutiful stair railing from the Indian tomohawk when they invaded.
“Two years after the wedding came one of the incidents that has made the mansion famous. Because of the General’s influence with the Indian allies of the British, a number of attempts were made to capture him; the British wished to put him where he could not interfere with their plans. One summer day, when Mrs. Carter, Mrs. Hamilton’s sister Margaret, was in the house with her baby Philip, a party of Tories, Canadians, and Indians surrounded the house and forced an entrance. Mary Gay Humphreys, in ” Catherine Schuyler,” tells what followed :
” The house was guarded by six men. Their guns were in the hall, the guards being outside and the relief asleep. Lest the small Philip be tempted to play with the guns his mother had them removed. The alarm was given by a servant. The guards rushed for their guns, but they were gone. The family fled upstairs, but Margaret, remembering the baby in the cradle below, ran back, seized the baby, and when she was halfway up the flight, an Indian flung his tomahawk at her head, which, missing her, buried itself in the wood, and left its historic mark to the present time.”
Lizzie Borden had an axe. She gave her mother forty wacks…..
It might actually bump up the price… double-axe murder is very old fashioned. Definitely in keeping with the pre-war charm of this unit.
A double-axe murder would not really effect the final sale price, unless there are still stains.
“I remember that. But it was “MACdonald.” Happened in the Slope but different building than this one.”
Yes, MACdonald, but not in the Slope! Not the case I”m talking about anyway. It was at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Sensational case because he was a doctor. Killed his wife. And concocted quite a story, and still to this day (like 30 years later) maintains his innocence and campaigns for it despite hardcore evidence, etc.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_R._MacDonald
What’s it going to take? Someone with at least 20% down, who makes around a million a year combined income, who wants to live in an overpriced apartment. Those types are practically knocking down people’s doors trying to buy now or be priced out forever. Or so I hear.
