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?

Tybur6:
That second entrance is a housing code requirement: the second floor needs access to the public hall and fire stair.
Two combined apartments?
Not likely. Everything is too well-organized, from functional adjacencies to hierarchies of “public” and “private” spaces.
You have to love that second stair to the kitchen. Originally meant to separate family from the staff, it makes a great “back stair” for today’s kids. They can get straight to the cookie jar!
Emery Roth was a master of the apartment building, and this unit shows his touch. My New York place is in one of his 1920s co-ops. I know it’s not a brownstone, but in its way, it’s just as good.
tybur6…Just noticed the extra means of egress.
Wonder what the kitchen looks like.
DIBS… if you lived here, I don’t think you’d have trouble finding a place to put your wood. 🙂
Dave, many buildings like this have individual storage rooms for each tenant in the basement. That would be a good place to store extra wood cords.
Oh, and m4l… the Library is a good location for the bathroom. The scent of cigar smoke will cover up your farts. The other bathroom is in the maid room, and she should be happy you don’t report her to immigration… so she wouldn’t mind your farts either.
m4l, there’s a bath off the library. It’s strategically placed there as that’s the room that you’d retire to for after dinner drinks. The cigar smoke will cover up any odors emanating from the bathroom.
m4l… Crap! That’s almost 4X my rent. OK. I’ll take this place if someone gives me $4 million even.
DIBS, stove the wood in the maids qtr.
btw, how come there’s no easily accessible & logically placed bathrm on 1st flr?
Tybur, assuming someone gives you this to you, would you be able to absorb the 4.5k monthly maintenance?
Has anyone else picked up on the little special secret entrance? Since it’s two apartments attached together, there’s a secret getaway through a closet in the master bedroom. Like a priest hole… in case you find yourself under attack by the protestants.
