Co-op of the Day: 214 Carlton Avenue, #2
This one-bedroom co-op at 214 Carlton Avenue in Fort Greene ain’t huge (looks like it’s half a brownstone floor) but it’s cute and has some nice old-school charm to it. And at $451, the monthly maintenance won’t break the bank. We’ll be surprised if the asking price of $455,000 is achieved but it never hurts…

And at $451, the monthly maintenance won’t break the bank. We’ll be surprised if the asking price of $455,000 is achieved but it never hurts to try. (Well, actually it can hurt to try but in this case the ask isn’t high enough to stop someone from looking at it.)

This floor plan does everything wrong, gut the building and start again.
Silly. At $400k for a half-floor of a 4 floor B.Stone, you’re roughly saying this building is worth $3.2MM? Crack is whack yo.
Over Priced…a friend of mine looked at this apartment and said it is around 75-100k too high and that other apartments larger are selling for less and much nicer +building has no laundry…ugh! I say 350k.

I happen to think this is a cute apartment. Interesting layout although I agree with those who don’t love the idea of entering through a narrow kitchen. But still that wouldn’t be the end of the world…actually entering through a kitchen can be very homey. Good walk-through closet to the bathroom.
Kids, this is not “half of a floor of brownstone”. The building has a very deep extension so this apartment equates more to the space of a floor-through apartment in a small rowhouse. It’s certainly NOT a studio in my opinion. It has a lot of windows on two sides and it looks like another one on a third side.
I’m sure it will sell at the right price. It’s not my ideal one-bedroom apartment, and although, for money, it could be staged with expensive furniture to make is show well, someone will decide this is the apartment for him/her/them.
“I like how the tone has changed so drastically on this little website…. Is this a sign of reality poking its naughty little head in the door?”
I’m afraid that the “changed tone on this little website” is less a sign of “reality poking its naughty little head in the door,” and more a sign that we posters are sheep reacting to the flow of the market without the courage to invest when the market is down.
It’s easy to kick a market when it’s down.
But maybe it’s wise to be a sheep?
I think it’s definitely overpriced, but it would make a pretty sweet bachelor pad. just keep to the living room for your more gymnastic assignations.
