Co-op of the Day: 126 Greene Avenue, #2W
We’ve walked by 126 Greene Avenue (at Clinton) a zillion times but never seen the interior of an apartment there. Until now. Corcoran has a new listing up for a two-bedroom apartment at the 19-unit prewar building and it looks to be a beauty. The second-floor pad has high ceilings and lots of original detail….
We’ve walked by 126 Greene Avenue (at Clinton) a zillion times but never seen the interior of an apartment there. Until now. Corcoran has a new listing up for a two-bedroom apartment at the 19-unit prewar building and it looks to be a beauty. The second-floor pad has high ceilings and lots of original detail. The location and finish choices of the kitchen are the only things that don’t get us jazzed. The maintenance on the 1,000-square-foot apartment is a low $662 per month. Given all that, what do you make of the asking price of $599,000?

This place was really dreary and dark. Northern light from the living room windows. Windows in the kitchen/bedroom etc all face brick walls. The rooms are really small and in no way can be considered a true 2 bedroom.
Definitely not worth the asking. It should be going for $475 – 500K.
10% down?
Good Luck~ what bank is offering 90% financing these days….ladies of Corcoran?
Buyer BEWARE of what Corcoran says!
Should sell for $475-500k
Does anyone know if this is the building with the elevator that looks like it’s from a Paris house hotel from the 1920’s? You know, the kind with the iron gate and that has the staircase wrapped around it?
Nomi, if you check out the floorplan it looks like there are windows on every side of the apartment, depending on the room. I can tell from the view from the dining room that the dining room/chamber and living room have a northern expose onto Greene Avenue.
aj: I used to own in a pre-1900 building and we were always being cited for things that had already been grandfathered in by DOB itself! The co-op still had to fight to get the violations dismissed though.
Anyway, you made me curious so I checked it out. Most of the violations are between 5 and 30 years old. What does a 30 year old “active” violation mean? I think it also has to do with building size. This building is big for that timeframe.
In general, is it naive not to check violations when you’re buying? I sure didn’t do it on my current building – until now, and we have more!! (but also going way back, phew 🙂
“Does anyone know what the exposures actually are?”
T&A
Another question if anyone’s still among the waking. The ad says northern and western exposures. But the two major window walls are parallel to each other — therefore can’t be north and west. Does anyone know what the exposures actually are?
There you go. ^^^
This place will certainly go for well above ask… it’s magnificent. All those details, its location in an amazing neighborhood in the best city in the world. Worth every penny and more! Great investment potential, indeed!
