Co-op of the Day: 32 Willow Place, #9
If you can handle the railroad layout and the fact that there’s only one small bathroom, this two-bedroom co-op at 108 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights if you’re a buyer who puts a premium on old-world charm.

If you can handle the railroad layout and the fact that there’s only one small bathroom, this two-bedroom co-op at 108 Pierrepont Street in Brooklyn Heights if you’re a buyer who puts a premium on old-world charm. The master bedroom and hallways have lots of original detail and the kitchen and living area appear to have been recently renovated. Not usually fans of exposed brick, we think it works nicely in this case. The 900-square-foot apartment has a monthly maintenance of $870 and is asking $710,000. You buying?

Probably worth about $575-600,000. Nitpicking, the exposed brisk in the kitchen is OK but not that angled wall in the living room. The kitchen counters look to be formica with a wood edge…cheap.
tybur, RAOTFLMMFAO! I started reading your post, and I’m thinking, “Who is WRITING this?! The broker?!”.
ugh tyburg, it’s getting old. fast hahahah (tho i do usually am in 100 percent agreeance with you)

Oh wow. What a great opportunity for someone special! The price is completely in line with such a wonderful neighborhood and so close to everything! Just think about that beautiful park and strolling along the quaint streets of Brooklyn Heights… and so close to Manhattan! And the maintenance charges… compared to what I was paying in Manhattan, they’re basically giving away this apartment!
I bet there will be a bidding war over this place. You have that wonderful courtyard to enjoy with your neighbors — maybe evening cocktails and snacks from a little shop on Montague.
I say this place will go for at least $750,000 easy — wouldn’t even be surprised if someone just fell in love and offered $800,000 in cash! I know I would if I didn’t already live just down the street!
I’ve seen this place, and it is a HAUL up the stairs. Not worth $700K. Probably not worth $600K in this market. Nice place, but the walk-up and the layout are tough.
Don’t recall a water view, either, but it was a few years ago …

Ringo, views have never been high on my priority list – I’m far more concerned with location and space – but I almost paid a premium for a place on Columbia Heights with spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty, Governor’s Island, Manhattan and the Brooklyn Bridge like I’ve never seen before from a private residence. Who knows? Maybe the views from this apartment will command a premium.
Given that #4 and #5 just sold for $512,000 and $528,000, I really don’t understand the reasoning behind the asking price. The listing agent also should know this place is not 900 sf, since he just sold a similar apartment in the same building and stated it was 720sf.
Typically in walk-up buildings, the higher floors get less, not more money.
BTW, I think this price is too high. But I think everyone is expecting a 10-15% discounted offer. So if you hoped to sell this at 625, I think you have to ask for 710. Hey, I don’t know. I don’t think it’s a 625 apartment either, but I think this may be the strategy.
If this is the unit I saw last time it was for sale, they should have taken a picture of the views. Really great Manhattan and Harbor views
