The appropriation of free blogging software by FSBO-ers is really catching on! Last week it was a Fort Greene two bedroom; this week it’s a charming one-bedroom in Park Slope brownstone. Located on the corner of Sterling Place and Sixth Avenue, the ground-floor apartment also comes with a space in the two-car garage in the rear of the building. The asking price of $549,000 seems reasonable for a full floor in this part of town; the maintenance of $656 is a couple bucks more than we would have expected but not a deal breaker. If you stop by either open house this weekend, drop us a note. We bet there will be good foot traffic. Anyone got any good comps for this place?

It does look dark. It’s a “garden apartment”, which some call a half-basement. Too much.
I wonder about the ventilation if it is a no smoking building. Plus the apartment looks dark to me.
Is the floorplan accurate- It looks like this is around 650-660 sqft (because the staircase/foryer area is larger on the ground and parlor floors.) If so, that means around 800/sqft. Does that reflect the garage premium? What’s the going rate for brownstoner floorthru sqft in that area? How does the parking squarefoot premium compare to a garden or patio premium?
The garage is behind the building, on Sterling Place (hard to see in the photo).
Does anyone know where the garage is?
This is definitely the best deal we’ve seen in such a good area. Big bedroom, lots of light, great kitchen…and that extra garage income. I could go on but am trying to figure out how to buy. Maybe I should erase this.
The garage sounds great. But the apartment looks mediocre…..Is $550K for a one bedroom a good deal?
I was at the open house and this is a really lovely place – lots of light, great locale. Plus, you can’t beat the garage. I would put an offer in, if I could afford it (sigh).
You don’t find maintenance much lower. And I love the gargage (or garage income). But it looks like it’s a ground floor place which is bad and a “no smoking building”? I don’t smoke but I think I’d shy away from a co-op who thinks it’s their job to tell me I can’t smoke — or sell to anyone who does smoke. I wonder what else they govern?
