Co-op of the Day: Turner Towers Three Bedroom
Based on the photos in this listing from last year and the latest one at the vaunted prewar building at 135 Eastern Parkway, this broker would do well to invest in a new photographer. No reason not to put your best foot forward. (For the record, this exterior photo is one we took!) Now, enough…
Based on the photos in this listing from last year and the latest one at the vaunted prewar building at 135 Eastern Parkway, this broker would do well to invest in a new photographer. No reason not to put your best foot forward. (For the record, this exterior photo is one we took!) Now, enough with the ranting…This place is massive—over 2,000 square feet—and has got all the standard prewar trappings one would expect. And, at $1,800, the maintenance comes out to less than a buck a foot per month. Given all this, the asking price of $1,100,000 seems perfectly reasonable to us. Agree?

heather,
hehehehehe!!!!!!!!!!!!!
m4l, I believe you’re right. I recall it was in the $650 – $700k range, and the original ask was something like $1.5 million. I also agree with you about the renovation. But after renovating my house over 10 years, I’m not sure I want to take on another huge project right now, certainly not by myself. So, Wingman 2, you and Kens better find me a partner or no renovations in my future!!
CGar, think that Penthouse unit sold for 700k or so. In my opinion, if you’re going to do some infrastructure upgrades, a gut renov is better than paying a few hundred grand more to deal with a place requiring less renov. diff is finished product on a gut renov is something done exactly to your preference and you KNOW everything in there’s checked, repaired, replaced,…
My friend’s apt in TT has the same original layout (I think), and the maid’s room is combined into the kitchen. It was like that before they bought it, so no idea about the wiring. They also may be putting it on the market soon, since they just bought a house. For their renovated version, a million seems fair. It is a TON of space. Yes, a million dollars is a lot for an apartment, but so is half a million for 800 square feet, and few complain about that? I think this is one of those cases where sheer square footage determines the price. It’ll probably sell to a Manhattan family looking for space, who will then be horrified by PS 9, and eh, well — what can you do…
bupe, I saw that Penthouse. Fantastic apartment. Unbelievable terrace. But total gut renovation. The entire space needed to be reconfigured. And it looked like it hadn’t been touched since the 1920s – I think it had the original kitchen. At least it was (eventually) priced to sell, after suffering death by a thousand cuts.
Those pictures are piss poor for a $900 studio rental much less a propery asking a million+
Lincoln place all the way (ps LOVE the maid room. wish could afford a maid)
OMG, no way – friends looked at a penthouse at TT for same price – amazing views, huge deck, needed gut reno – but you had to deal with the entire building and coop board to get anything done. Needless to say, they passed.
infirm, totally agree on the Lincoln Place apartment.
